''Lagoon Edge'' is the name my grandmother gave this beautiful home, which was one of the original houses in the neighborhood. The house came down to me a few years ago, and I undertook a major renovation, inside and out. The goal was to tastefully preserve the character of the original house while updating it with a chic look and top-quality appliances and amenities. In its new incarnation, this well-appointed house retains its classic charm while offering modern comforts and elegant touches throughout. The house has been loved by my family for generations, and I have many fond memories from summers growing up. Now that Lagoon Edge has been passed down to me, I am excited to share this special place with others.
Walk out of the kitchen for dining and water views on the expansive deck, and stroll down to the Lagoon for a dip or a relaxing glass of wine at sunset. Enjoy the outdoor fireplace and wood-fired pizza oven, and cooking in the outdoor kitchen on the brick patio. The stone walls, patios and gardens give the property a spacious and inviting feeling and offer plenty of outdoor living space; including a lovely seating area among the flowers outside the master bedroom. The gardens provide a variety of flowers and delectable herbs, vegetables and berries for your enjoyment.
In the main house there are 4 bedrooms (2 queen, 1 double, 1 pull-out double twin) all with new beds. The 2 bathrooms are beautifully tiled, with touches of stone and glass, and there is an outdoor shower to complete your vineyard experience. The guest cabin adjacent to the house provides another queen bed and private bath. If you wish to use the futon in the loft and living room sleep sofa, the house accommodates up to 14. (CABIN is not available in summer of 2020, sorry. Rent reduced accordingly.)
The home is equipped with top-notch cooking equipment in the chef's kitchen, and a collection of cookbooks is at hand to help you prepare your catch, should you be so inclined. The library also includes plenty of summer reading and nature guides and books about the people and history of the Vineyard, as well as a selection of games for rainy days. The first floor wet bar is another great feature, whether you are entertaining or just enjoying yourselves.
The house is fully equipped with wi-fi, and there are bluetooth accessible sound systems upstairs and down. The den downstairs has a 52'' flatscreen TV with premium cable channels and HDMI access for viewing from your devices. There is also a whole-house HEPA filter that removes allergens while circulating air-conditioned air throughout the home.
Located at 11 Shore Drive on the corner of Lagoon Rd. and Newton Rd. in Oak Bluffs, the house is both somewhat tucked away, and very conveniently located. The neighborhood is great for walking and bicycling and Oak Bluffs town center is just a 5 minute drive, or a 10 minute bike ride away.
As a kid, our little beach on the Lagoon was one of my favorite places. Through the years I loved floating in the sun and playing with the hermit crabs and periwinkles in the pond. I've also enjoyed learning to row and sail, paddling canoes and kayaks, snorkeling, water-skiing, digging clams and fishing in the Lagoon. I also have a mooring available by request.
Call or email if you would like any more information or to make a reservation. I look forward to welcoming you.
