57 Hines Point Road

Single Family Residence

Description

Lily Hill - a rare Hines Point offering that includes a waterfront home with exquisite views, a deep water mooring and dock, and 130 feet of private fine-sand beach. Poised on a knoll on the western shore of the Lagoon, Lily Hill evokes a more peaceful time with sweeping views of the sky and water. Enjoy a swim at your private beach morning, noon or night. Watch the play of light across the water as you sit on the patio listening to the birds and the breeze. Tie up to one of the longest docks on the freshwater/saltwater Lagoon, which opens to Vineyard Haven harbor, or anchor at the 12 foot draw deep-water mooring. From the great room of the house, watch the sunrise across the lagoon through the elegant curved windows. The yard is made for romantic moments: Lily Hill's elegant gazebo overlooks the water and a classic pergola is set beneath the sweeping branches of what may be the largest maple tree on the Island. The property has been owned since 1978 by the same family. The matriarch, a renowned master gardener and interior decorator, was responsible for the exquisite grounds and garden design showcased on the cover and as a 10-page spread in the coffee table book, Martha's Vineyard Gardens and Houses, published in 1992 by Simon and Schuster. The healing landscape features a variety of trees and ever blooming, lush flowering plants: hydrangeas, rhododendrons, Kousa dogwoods, and tiger lilies - the home’s namesake. The interior includes modern conveniences like a new HVAC system and garage, while maintaining the historic mid-century elegance with large bowed windows in the wood-paneled great room, dining room, and downstairs primary bedroom all overlooking the lagoon. This classic Vineyard shingle-and-stone home is a short stroll to Tisbury town center and ferry terminal, yet invisible from the road. The village of Vineyard Haven with shops and dining, and the harbor are less than a mile from the house. The Martha's Vineyard Museum, Vineyard Haven Yacht Club, and Owen Park Beach are also nearby. Lily Hill is a property that, like a work of art or piece of music, must be seen and experienced to be fully appreciated.
