The proximity to everything Edgartown offers makes this house a magical location. Walk to everything in town or bike to nearby beaches, groceries, etc. The convenience of not using a car is critical during the busy summer. The sitting porch is our summer living room. We often eat outside on the terrace or lounge in the yard in our quiet neighborhood when we get back from our day's activities.
The Vineyard has long drawn sailors, artists and fishermen. Today it draws tourists and celebrities alike with its locavore attitude toward good food, the quality of the light, the great beaches and the extensive amount of land in conservation. As an old whaling town, Edgartown has a particularly gorgeous waterfront that attracts sailors, artists, lovers of well preserved old homes. The weather is fabulous relative to the Northeast given the mild location in the Gulf Stream. The quality of the light on the island pulls artists.
