Front Row on Starbuck Neck
In-Town Living, Steps from the Beach
Follow Edgartown’s North Water Street, the site of grand Federal and Greek Revival style Captains’ homes, as it turns to become Starbuck Neck, the location of Edgartown’s first summer colony.
Tucked behind a tall privacy hedge and across a rolling lawn on over an acre of land, this five-bedroom classic shingle style home is a perfectly preserved example of summer cottages and one of only five waterfront properties in this prestigious area.
This exquisite property offers commanding 180-degree views of the Edgartown harbor and lighthouse, Chappaquiddick and Nantucket Sound. A careful renovation preserved historic design details including the antique fir floors, woodwork and cabinetry while upgrading the home for comfortable year-round living.
Restored with a respect for the past, the home is inviting and relaxing enough for a carefree summer retreat for a busy family. From casual meals on the breezy porch to games on the lawn, the property can be bustling with guests while still allowing calm corners of privacy.
The entrance foyer opens to the waterfront side of the house where oversize windows heighten the drama of the view and leave the rooms warm and glowing from natural light. The living spaces blend together effortlessly to create a relaxed interior atmosphere.
The spacious living room offers a calm elegance with water views on three sides and a cleverly disguised door to the wraparound side porch, perfect for dining on summer evenings. A seating area in front of the fireplace creates a cozy spot in winter. The recent renovation revealed the original open stairway’s decorative wood trim that was previously concealed by an interior partition.
An open sitting room leads to the covered porch and connects to the formal dining room with a built-in china cabinet and pass-through window to the kitchen that allows the chef to share the dining room’s harbor view and to connect with family and guests.
The gourmet kitchen and pantry have ample storage and countertop space, state-of-the-art appliances as well as a breakfast bar that seats four. It’s a spot for everyday meals and impromptu gatherings with efficient stations for multiple chefs.
Sharing the view with the dining room is the adjacent paneled billiard room with half bath, which could easily become a first floor master bedroom or a den where the family can relax, work or watch TV.
Five roomy and airy bedrooms suffused with light occupy the second floor, two with en suite baths and one with a private balcony.
The paneled basement has a 1,500-bottle capacity wine cellar, laundry facilities and multiple storage closets.
Across the park-like lawn is the charming private one-bedroom guest cottage with an open living room, full kitchen and two-sided deck overlooking the water. The adjacent two-car garage has ample storage space for bikes, kayaks and canoes. With 1.2 acres of land, there is room for a pool and architect’s plans for an enlarged guest cottage and garage are in hand.
