Edgartown Real Estate

An extraordinary waterfront estate on Chappaquiddick complete with 140-ft deepwater dock, 3-bedroom guesthouse, garage barn, and the unique opportunity to own your own 9-hole “links” golf course next door. The home was designed by award-winning Boston architecture firm Albert-Righter-Tittman and built by Doyle Construction - a "dream team" for the owners whose goal was to achieve a superb finished product. It is just a few minutes away but a world apart from the hustle and bustle of Edgartown village. Since completion the property has been featured in numerous magazine articles and coffee table books. The main house pays homage to the illustrious camps that dotted this shoreline a hundred years ago - grand yet welcoming. This modern interpretation allows most areas of the home to enjoy views of Nantucket Sound. Everywhere there are pleasing details such as fir floors, locust posts that support the 900 sq ft porch, and shiplap interior. The home was built to the very highest standards. There are 5 bedrooms in the main house including a primary bedroom suite on the second floor with 180-degree water views. Beneath the impeccable cosmetic details are mechanical systems that will allow any occupant to live there with all creature comforts. The basement houses a gym and steam/sauna. The home is ideal for entertaining, with its vast great room and dining table that seats 18 people. The interior spaces spill easily to the outside where the lawn stretches to the private beach which in turn yields to Nantucket Sound glistening to the horizon. The setting also provides the ideal vantage point to watch regattas featuring some of the world's finest yachts, extraordinary sunsets, and of course the legendary Edgartown July 4th firework display. These are stellar swimming waters to plunge into right off your own beach, or, if the mood takes you, somersault into from one of the two swimming platforms at the end of your own private dock. The 140-ft dock has a draft of 6 to 8 ft. In addition there are two moorings. The 990 sq ft guesthouse is privately situated and as well as a full kitchen and living area there are 3 comfortable bedrooms. The 2200 sq ft garage barn with workshop has radiant heated floors and a half bath. The house is being sold with all furniture included. There is also the opportunity to purchase the neighboring Royal & Ancient Chappaquiddick Links, a Martha's Vineyard institution.
