Property Description
Positioned in the heart of the village with a private dock on Carver's Harbor, this charming turn-of-the-century home offers all the advantages of village living while retaining privacy and intimacy year-round.
The Main Street location is steps away from the island ice cream shop and various eateries and stores, but when you want to relax and unwind simply step inside the gated door to enjoy a private backyard that feels like a hidden oceanside oasis. Here you'll enjoy harbor views, a lawn framed by perennial plantings, a spacious wharf with ramp and float, and an iconic fish house brimming with potential - as a studio, office, or oceanside living room/ playhouse.
Built c. 1925, original architectural details are complemented by tasteful modernity, with most rooms oriented south toward the ocean. The open kitchen/dining area is bright and welcoming, and includes a cozy built-in window seat, a sliding glass door that opens directly onto the backyard and wharf, original pine floors, and a new direct vent heater.
The first floor also includes a walk-in pantry, living room with wood stove, an updated bathroom, laundry room, and a heated flex space facing Main Street - ideal for continued commercial use or conversion into a private studio or bonus room.
Upstairs is a well-appointed primary bedroom with a veranda overlooking the harbor, a charming full bath with a antique tub, a guest room with water views, a third bedroom on the street side, and a smaller room that could serve as a study or fourth bedroom.
The home and outbuildings are in very good condition and will convey partially furnished with most everything you need for comfort & fun. Whether you're searching for a summer getaway or a year-round village residence, this harbor front home offers a lifestyle that everyone can enjoy.
