A West Tisbury Oasis - Set on one of the loveliest of all up-Island roadways (and a dead end at that), this wooded retreat situated on a southwest facing hillside has been built by one of the Island's true, and highly respected, craftsmen.  The main house is a beautiful post and beam structure with three full floors of passive solar living space.  Flooded with light through an array of carefully restored windows, the home's wood and plaster really shine.  Everywhere you look the owner's commitment to authenticity is evidenced - select antique light and bath fixtures, hardwood and tile flooring, and brick center-chimney with granite-faced Rumford fireplace and hearth.  Outside the stone retaining walls are a perfect backdrop for lovely, simple perennial beds - and this is just the main house.  Further up the hill and completely out of site of the main dwelling is the absolutely charming guesthouse described below and between the two are both an outstanding 400+ sq. ft. studio/workshop, that can also shelter your car or boat, and a perfect little garden shed.  If a country escape is what you are seeking, then this property is just ideal.  (3rd bedroom currently considered an "office" by the town and the finished lower level is not acknowledged by the town in the square footage calculation on the field card)

FIRST FLOOR DESCRIPTION
Living, dining room and kitchen.  The spaces here are defined by the brick chimney, with the fireplace the focal point on this floor.  From the dining room, through French doors, you access a large, raised deck with roses spilling over the railings.

SECOND FLOOR DESCRIPTION
Gorgeous, vaulted ceilings and exposed posts and beams make the bedrooms on this floor country cozy and completely charming.  Generous closets and a tiled shower with a surprise architectural feature.

BASEMENT DESCRIPTION
Fully finished, with full bath, tile floors, laundry and family room/3rd bedroom.  This room has French doors out to the lower lawn and garden and is flooded with westerly light.  There is a brick chimney with a flue for a wood stove and the carrying beam across the center of this room was harvested from a tree cut on the property.

OTHER BUILDINGS
400+ sq.ft. workshop with electric, plumbing and wood stove for heat as well as a darling, separate garden shed.

SECOND DWELLING
Built in 2000, this impeccably crafted, roughly 400 sq.ft. bungalow is irresistible.  Sited toward the back of the property, this completely independent dwelling has lovely views through the woods and over 40+/- acres of adjoining pasture land. This home offers the same country charm and authenticity as the main house - center brick chimney with Rumford hearth, vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, restored antique fixtures, full basement.  Come and see just how much 400 sq.ft. can offer!
