Property #1876

Description

Endless water views, fully updated, and steps from a sandy beach excellent for swimming our home\ has been gorgeously remodeled and designed with a simple yet sophisticated Martha's Vineyard-meets-California feel.

Our welcoming, centrally-air-conditioned house has 4 bedrooms and sleeps 9.

Airy and uncluttered, designed for user-friendly simplicity, with a modern-vintage aesthetic, the house has wide decks, gorgeous views of the sea, and is set back and buffered by a generous lawn -- so you’re still in the Ocean Park/Inkwell Beach area, but with more breathing room. The home recently underwent a top-to-bottom remodel, while honoring the original Gingerbread cottage bones; so you'll find the charm of a traditional Oak Bluffs "cottage", but with central AC, new windows, doors, appliances and freshly updated bedding and furnishings.

There are wide-plank pine floors, pro-style appliances including dishwasher, gas range, French door refrigerator with ice maker & filtered water, and a full-sized washer/dryer set apart in its own laundry/"mud" room -- there's a back entrance here, off the wraparound porch, for easy access to and from the enclosed outdoor shower (outdoor shower is in addition to subway tile/glass door indoor shower). There is a king size bed in a larger than usual (for OB) master BR. Tons of seating (and dining) inside at a large table as well as a butcher-block topped island/bar area, and on the wraparound porch (3-sided). You're perfectly situated for the annual fireworks, dining/coffee/cocktails outside or just watching the world go by.

There are 4 well appointed, uncluttered bedrooms -- one downstairs and three upstairs (including a large bedroom that shares a space but feels like 2 rooms, with a queen & 2 twins -- the "Oak Bluffs" room, which is perfect for sharing). The second-story private deck off the master bedroom offers views of the ocean, as well as Farm Pond. A second porch, off the second & third upstairs bedrooms, also has ocean views. Two sets of French doors from the kitchen and dining area open out to a larger portion of the deck and stunning ocean views. A third set of French doors opens to another deck along the charming side-street, still with a view to the sea.

The bathrooms are all updated (tiled walk-in shower downstairs, a modern soaking tub upstairs, a separate water-closet on the main floor). Thus, to state it clearly: 1 indoor shower (+sink) downstairs, 1 outdoor shower (the best!) on the wrap-around deck, 1 bathroom with a tub upstairs (no shower, but with a toilet & sink). There is also a water-closet downstairs (toilet & small sink).

There's an open and connected feeling in the kitchen/dining/living room areas, and the 3 sets of downstairs French double-doors connect it all to the porch and the outdoor seating/dining/BBQ area.

The property is in the ideal spot for beach-going, dining out and various outdoor/athletic activities. Cross the road and go for a swim. Walk less than 10 minutes and you have your choice of in-town and harbor-front activities, restaurants & cafes (the short walk means you'll never have to search for a parking space to dine in-town in the high season). We're also walkable from the Oak Bluffs ferry docking (the Steamship Authority OB). And it's a very short distance (5 houses) to the winding and lovely bike path that runs along the island's edge & sands of State Beach and into Edgartown. There is also a great park/playground/tennis & basketball courts (Niantic Park) nearby.

For rainy days and relaxing at home there are two TVs: 1 in the master BR, another in the more casual section of the living room area downstairs. No cable there is Apple TV best to know your own account info. to Hulu or Netflix.

Beds in total in the Main House: 1 king bed, 2 queen beds, 1 full sized bed and 2 twin beds.
Note there is a guest house on the property that the owner or other guests may occupy.
TENANT supplies sheets and towels.
