Relax and unwind in this spacious, light-filled architect's home, nestled on five private wooded acres near the Tisbury Great Pond. With access to Long Point Beach, and close proximity to bike paths, walking trails and horse farms, the house is a serene retreat from the bustle of regular life.
The first floor of the home has a large chef's eat-in kitchen, fully equipped with a 6-burner Garland stove, appliances (waffle maker, panini press, Cuisinart, coffeemaker, etc.) and table and cookware galore. A large outdoor grill off the kitchen makes cookouts a breeze, and you can enjoy your meals in the kitchen, on one of 2 outdoor dining tables, or at the formal dining room table which seats 8. Help yourself to herbs from the small garden just steps from the kitchen.
The double-height living/dining room has a fireplace for chilly nights, a grand piano, books, games and puzzles, and plenty of room for lounging. The sunroom next to the living room can be a 4th bedroom as needed. It has beautiful wraparound views of the lawn and flowering trees, a very comfortable Design Within Reach queen sofabed, flat screen TV and DVD player, en suite bathroom, and plenty of closet and drawer space. The back deck is a perfect place to bask in the afternoon sun in the chaise lounge or Adirondack chairs, surrounded by mint and flowers. The outdoor shower off the back deck allows for post-beach showering. The first floor is fully accessible to people using canes and walkers.
Upstairs, a suspended walkway connects the three bedrooms, all with views of the trees surrounding the house. The skylit master bedroom is octagonal, with wraparound views of treetops, queen bed, desk, and flat screen TV and DVD player. It has a small balcony, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee, and en suite bathroom. On the other side of the walkway, you'll find two additional bedrooms, each with 2 twin beds, a shared balcony, and lovely views. The bedrooms have large closets and chests of drawers, and bedding to convert a set of twin beds into a King is available. A shared bathroom has a bathtub/shower and separate toilet room. All bedrooms have remote-controlled A/C and heat.
The house is perfect for entertaining and relaxing. It has 2 TVs/DVD players with Roku and a bluetooth-enabled sound system and a turntable. There is a freestanding hammock on the lawn, and a cozy seating area on the front porch. We provide beach chairs, beach umbrellas, boogie boards, a cooler, plenty of beach towels, and a rolling collapsible beach cart to easily carry everything from your car to the beach.
You are very close to miles of walking trails and bike paths, and we provide a beach pass for Long Point Wildlife Refuge, one of the most beautiful beaches on the Vineyard. Only a 15 minute drive from the house, Long Point has miles of pristine ocean beach with great surf, as well as a swimming beach on the Tisbury Great Pond that is fabulous for kids, and where you can rent kayaks and paddle boards. We are a 1/2 mile from the State Forest bike/running path with a great 12-mile loop, and very close to the 1.5 mile woodland trail to Sipiessa, a small quiet beach and boat launch on the Great Pond. We are 3 miles from the small town of West Tisbury, which has a wonderful library with an excellent DVD collection and an amazing children's room. Explore the West Tisbury farmer's market on Saturdays, pick up homemade breakfast and lunch at 7a, or peruse Alley's General Store. Our house book has detailed information about places to go and things to do on the Island.
