Overview

Own a Piece of Architectural History... This splendid home was designed by the award-winning Architect, Robert D. Orr Jr., and originally featured in House & Garden magazine. Each unique aspect of this home possesses its own creative details and charm. "Island Fortress” as it was named by the magazine, has a variety of architectural features that have been expanded upon, creating a unified whole, enriching the experience of its myriad spaces. The many angles, curves, and inclusion of numerous windows maximize the enjoyment of daily living, allowing you to fully appreciate the views from the interior and exterior spaces throughout. This remarkable, one-of-a-kind home, features 1,275 square feet of living space, over 1,300 square feet of mahogany decking on three separate levels, and a tower with a wall of windows. The main level on the second floor is designed for you to “live in the tree-tops”. You will find an open eat-in kitchen with access to a 100+ square-foot deck for outdoor dining, and newer, stainless-steel appliances. The home features a sizable living area with a wall of large windows, a dramatic, twelve-foot ceiling to the level above, with two sunny bedrooms, and 1-1/2 baths. The top floor has yet another large sunny deck, and a gorgeous, scenic tower-room, set apart from the rest: a perfect, quiet space for an office or serene retreat for a yoga studio. Imagine the numerous possibilities of the expansive deck on the lower level. It features 30+ square feet of mahogany decking and access to an enclosed laundry area and utility closet. The home is move-in ready with newer electric, wall-board, paint, and energy-efficient, spray-foam insulation. Enjoy your own “Island Fortress”, a terrific opportunity to own one of the most unique properties on Martha's Vineyard.
