Edgartown Real Estate

TIMELESS ARCHITECT-DESIGNED KATAMA RETREAT MADE FOR SUMMER LIVING. At the end of a long private drive, tucked into a quiet 1.5-acre setting near South Beach, this Patrick Ahearn-designed Katama estate feels like a true Vineyard retreat . . . elegant, relaxed, and made for gathering. The home brings Ahearn’s award-winning coastal architecture to life with style, sophistication, and luxury throughout this jewel-box property. Vaulted ceilings, custom shiplap panel detailing, custom millwork, antique rough-hewn beams, Rubio Monocoat floors, plus high-end fixtures, and luxurious finishes create a home that feels both newly built and instantly timeless. The spacious Great Room is anchored by a floor-to-ceiling gas stone fireplace, perfect for cozy nights during the island's shoulder seasons and for holiday gatherings. At the heart of the home is the Gourmet Cook’s Kitchen, designed not just for cooking, but for connection. Open on three sides to the Living Room, Dining Room, and Family Room, it naturally draws everyone together — for morning coffee around the island, long dinners after the beach, or easy summer evenings that move seamlessly from indoors to out. A Butler’s Pantry off the Dining Room adds both function and polish for entertaining. French doors open to the screened porch, offering a quiet, shaded retreat for morning coffee, an afternoon break from the sun, or a breezy lunch between swims. The outdoor living area carries the home’s sense of ease into the evening, with a PebbleTec-finished gunite pool, built-in whirlpool spa, bluestone patio, outdoor shower, and a pergola-covered lounge with a wood-burning fireplace. It is the kind of setting that naturally draws everyone back together after dinner — fireside, relaxed, and lingering under the Vineyard sky. The home offers four en suite bedrooms, including a serene Primary Suite with vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, spa-inspired bath, and direct access to the pool area. An attached two-bay garage adds ease, while the full unfinished basement offers exceptional future potential for a Media Room, Game Room, in-house gym, Wine Cellar, or additional lifestyle space. Private, beautifully crafted, and deeply connected to its Katama setting, this is a rare Martha’s Vineyard home designed for true island living: beach days, shared meals, quiet mornings, and effortless summer nights.
