Set back +/-100 yards from Martha's Vineyard's north shore in Makonikey, this gorgeous home offers both outstanding water views and ready beach access, along with substantial lot size. Designed and built for the current owners, the main house is an ideal gathering place, with multiple spacious living rooms and a relaxed floor plan that blends indoor and outdoor living. The primary suite, which incorporates a private study, full bathroom, and balcony, is on the second level, as are much of the shared spaces. Water views are abundant throughout - with the main living room, dining room, screened porch, and the primary suite catching the best viewpoints. There is also a third level deck that offers jaw-dropping views of Vineyard Sound to Woods Hole and beyond. The home has a central AC and forced air heating system and is fully fitted for year-round use if desired. The full, unfinished basement houses utilities and provides ample storage. Access to the beach is by easement across the property in front, and the views are fully protected by easement as well. In addition to the main house, the property extends, with 2.9 acres total, across Naushon Rd where there is a detached bedroom/studio structure - an excellent option for guests with some updating. There is room for a pool and garage on the property with proper permitting. A superb offering in Makonikey, this location affords privacy, water views and beach - all within just a short drive of downtown Vineyard Haven or West Tisbury's Lamberts Cove. Built and enjoyed by one family for the past 25+ years!
