Description

Unparalleled, unobstructed, panoramic, 180-degree water views of the Lagoon all with a sandy beach! How many generations of those familiar with the Vineyard have desired this remarkable location? Now it can be yours! Waterfront on the saltwater Lagoon means that you can go clamming, fishing, boating, wind surfing or swimming right out the front door. Or sit on the front deck and watch the waves lap on your beach. You'll feel your tension drift away with the outgoing tide.

How many generations of those familiar with the Vineyard have desired this remarkable location? Now it can be yours! Waterfront on the saltwater Lagoon means that you can go clamming, fishing, boating, wind surfing or swimming right out the front door. Or sit on the front deck and watch the waves lap on your beach. You'll feel your tension drift away with the outgoing tide. This home has been in the same family since 1979. It is warm and welcoming with an open floor plan that fills the rooms with light and water views. The existing home is substantial and can be renovated and updated or start anew with the footprint that is in place. The footprint is close to the water's edge and offers several intriguing options. In years to come the buyer will be told ''you were lucky'' to purchase such a property! We would suggest that the buyer of this property will have recognized true value and upside potential, then acted decisively.
