Property Description

NOW INCLUDING RARE 12,527 S.F. TOWN APPROVED BUILDING LOT ON WILLIAM STREET! Storybook setting in the quaint seaside village of Vineyard Haven, the commanding Captain Gilbert L. Smith House*, c. 1854, affords an enchanting opportunity for space and privacy within the highly sought after William Street Historic District, just two blocks to all the shops, restaurants, galleries, town beach, tennis, and ferry. For 35 years, home of Susan Branch, the illustrious self-taught illustrator and author of New York Times best-seller "Martha's Vineyard, Isle of Dreams," this quintessential Greek Revival gem with Neoclassical touches, enjoys over 3,468 s.f. of indoor space including the summer kitchen, now pantry/laundry room, on .92 acre in-town with wood floors throughout and cheerful eastern sunlight mornings and western afternoon sunlight with evening skies. With period paneling, crown molding, and 9' ceilings, the floor plan includes a welcoming front hall entry with lovely curved staircase, front parlor, formal living room with fireplace and bay window, spacious dining room, second side entrance vestibule used as a dry bar, cozy wood paneled study/tv room~ "the Snug", eat-in kitchen with wainscotting, east-facing side porch, laundry/pantry/storage room, and a half bath.

A rare opportunity for those who appreciate the history and value of historic homes in a sailing port which as been described as "the sweetest little harbor on the east coast." Some furnishings available for purchase by separate bill of sale. This property is also available for purchase for $2,300,000 without the approved 12,527 s.f. buildable fronting on William Street.
