Excellent turnkey Edgartown opportunity! This warm, post-and-beam, three-bedroom home is conveniently located in the Birnam Woods association, tucked back off Edgartown - West Tisbury Road. The property is easily accessible to Edgartown village, the bike path, Morning Glory Farm, Vineyard Golf Club, and South Beach by way of Meetinghouse Road. The house had tasteful updating and it features an open-concept first floor, which offers a kitchen, a dining room, and a living room with a fireplace that opens onto the deck, plus a full bathroom. The second floor has the primary bedroom and a generous guest bedroom with a shared bathroom. The third floor has another bedroom with a bonus hangout space that is perfect for kids. The full
basement is clean and well maintained, and it offers high ceilings. It would be easy to finish it off as additional living space. The property also has a garage with a large, unfinished space above it, offering many possibilities, plus there's an outdoor shower and lovely plantings around the house. The property has access to the association tennis, and it offers a solid rental history. Rentals are booked for July and August (rental income to transfer with the property), and the home is being sold furnished to accommodate the rentals in place. The home is connected to the town sewer, allowing for expansion up to 7 bedrooms. A pool is also a possibility within R60 setbacks. This is an inviting, move-in ready home waiting to welcome family and friends as your personal Island retreat or as a solid rental investment.

Quote of the Day
“We have a pretty small staff of reporters, and their dedication to covering stories that matter to them is really inspiring … They are doing something they really believe in, and I think that’s everything for students these days. I’m really proud of them. They deserve this recognition.”
—Kate Hennigan on the High School View student reporters, who recently won journalism awardsHot Topic Comment“Other countries worldwide speak at least two languages and some speak more than that. A bilingual education only improves a student’s chances of connecting with others in our very diverse world. It’s a good thing!”
— Donna Blackburn on the Tisbury School’s exploration of Brazilian Portuguese language class offeringsHot Topic Letter“The students are the target of a vicious propaganda campaign that seeks to portray them as supporters of Hamas and terrorism. One has only to listen to what they are actually saying to see that such accusations against them are slanderous.”
— David Mintz, responding to pro-Palestinian student protests
