Description

The Captain George Harding Home sits gracefully on the westerly side of iconic William Street overlooking Vineyard Haven village with distant views of the harbor. This immaculate and re-imagined Gothic Revival offers both timeless elegance and modern luxury. Completed in 2024, the comprehensive down-to-the-studs renovation includes all new systems like central air and dehumidification. Every antique window has been meticulously restored, and the wrap-around porch has been rebuilt to the exacting standards of the William Street Historic Society. Striking white paint contrasts elegantly with contemporary black windows and a standing seam copper roof over the porch, while the original restored front door, staircase, decorative balustrades, and porch details pay homage to the home’s history. Upon entering the home you will be struck by a bright contemporary layout with high ceilings and bay windows that let the light pour in. The main reception room features a Carrara marble fireplace imported from Scotland. The kitchen spans the entire width of the home and has nice separation from the living room spaces — great for everyday or entertaining. Fitted with custom cabinetry by Plain & Fancy and with Wolf and Sub Zero appliances, the kitchen also features a dining area with window seat that looks out to the pool and backyard. The property includes a 6-bedroom Title V septic system and is connected to town water. Currently configured with 4 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms plus a powder room. Outside, lush landscaping, perennial plantings and a grass lawn are framed by mature arborvitae that provide privacy for the 12' x 18' heated Gunite pool, patio and outdoor kitchen. The guest cottage is connected to the main house by a breezeway. A private driveway is accessed by a charming lane off Franklin Street, tucked behind the guest cottage. Enjoy everything that Vineyard Haven has to offer including shops, restaurants and the ferry just one block away. Or it's just a short stroll to the town courts for a game of tennis or Owen Park for a sunrise swim. .... And then there's the Leonard Bernstein story .... ask me!
