This Colonial Revival home, designed by Patrick Ahearn Architects in collaboration with Colonial Reproductions, is located in the Edgartown Village Historic District on Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts. Overlooking the sparkling expanse of Edgartown Harbor, this home embodies character, craftsmanship, and coastal elegance.
Just steps from town, this iconic residence, with its striking blue shutters, welcoming hydrangeas, and gracious facade, is a familiar favorite to those who stroll along South Water Street. Inside, every room tells a story of thoughtful design, where classic New England architecture meets a warm and livable coastal aesthetic refined for modern family life.

The home features three bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths, each thoughtfully finished with architectural integrity and coastal charm.
A true gem in the heart of the historic district, this home is a classic harbor-view retreat layered with meaning, crafted with care, and designed to be enjoyed for generations.
What We Love About This House
The interiors strike a beautiful balance, deeply traditional in their detailing, with paneled walls, spindle staircases, and brass fittings, yet unpretentious in the way they are furnished and lived in. Details such as the porthole powder room mirror, the compass rose entry floor, and the hand-painted nautical tiles at the fireplace reveal a home that was designed with genuine character. Perhaps most enviably of all, nearly every room captures a glimpse of the harbor, a fabulous reminder of this gorgeous waterfront location.

Expertly designed with a deep appreciation for Edgartown’s maritime heritage, the home weaves nautical influences throughout, from the compass rose inlay in the grand front foyer to the custom teak and holly powder room with brass plumbing accents.
