Outside on the North Water side facing the water are two spacious porches with partial water views of Edgartown Harbor. There is a large dock at the end of Morse Street that you can walk out on.

Map & Owner's Profile
Captain Morse House Vacation Property on North Water Street
Year Purchased: 1955
Why the Owner Chose Edgartown
This is the house where I spent my summers. Back in 1955 my parents purchased what was perhaps the best home in Edgartown and then restored it as a summer vacation home.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The biggest benefit is that you are right up from the water and close to downtown without being in the crowds of summer visitors. I love walking down Morse Street to the boatyard each morning and evening to see what's happening on the waterfront and to talk to the boaters and fisherman.
The restaurants and shops are all an easy walk away but it is the waterfront that is the best part of living at the Captain Morse House. After all - it is a whaling Captain's home
Owner's Map of Edgartown
I grew up in the home you are viewing and spent my summers there until I graduated from Tufts University in 1977. This home was purchased by my father the year I was born and was used by him and my mother until 2008.
Prior to managing this property I owned and ran Island Sports from 1974 until 2007 with my wife Nancy,
It is quite a home and I am proud to be able to share it with you.
