This majestic Greek Revival home is one of the earliest on the northern end of historic William Street. Built in 1836 by the Downs brothers, it's intended and original use was an inn which catered to the whaling and shipping industries. The Berkshire House stayed in business until 1865 when it became the private home of Dr. William Leach, and has remained a private home to many since. On the first and second floors of this gracious antique is a comfortable, traditional floor plan with plenty of spacious rooms with original pine plank flooring and moldings. The unfinished third floor has incredible potential. With peek water views and a large foot print, it could be a fantastic media room, rec. room, or any other type of space for friends and family to gather. Overlooking the beautifully landscaped yard, the long back porch lends itself to morning coffee and cool summer dining. Just a one-block stroll to Main Street Vineyard Haven, this unique home should not be missed!
