POINT B EXCLUSIVE - Quietly set back on four private acres in the prestigious Oyster Pond area of Edgartown, this stunning architect-designed modern farmhouse is designed for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining at its finest. A deluxe Party Barn anchors the outdoor spaces with open Living and Dining Areas, fireplace, and bar. Sliding screen barn doors open out to the large heated pool and hot tub, granite patio, and several outdoor sunning and seating areas.
Inspired by classic New England barn shapes, noted architect Dudley Cannada designed this modern farmhouse with three main interior living pods that are connected by a beautiful Great Room. The room is anchored by a floor-to-ceiling fieldstone fireplace and framed by two walls of glass French doors, plus vaulted ceiling with beams. The open Living Area has refined sofa and chair seating by the fireplace at one end of the Great Room, while the Dining Area and Kitchen anchor the other end.
The fully-equipped Chef's Kitchen has a large prep counter/breakfast bar, commercial stainless and cabinet-fronted appliances -- including three dishwashers and wine refrigerator -- quartz counters, walk-in pantry, plus a separate prep area with sink that can be closed off with pocket doors. Just off the Kitchen is a sun-filled TV/Family Room. It has sectional sofa seating with large screen TV on one side, and a casual Dining Area on the other, that is framed by two walls of windows that look out over the Pool Area. There is a half bath with a door that opens out to one of two enclosed outdoor showers, and a French door that connects to the Party Barn.
On the other side of the house, the Primary Bedroom encompasses the entire first floor of the western pod. The bedroom has sleeping and sitting areas with French doors that open out to pool area by the hot tub. The deluxe Bathing Salon has two walk-in closets, dual vanities, soaking tub, large glass walk-in shower with multiple shower heads, steam shower, and built-in bench. A French door opens out to a large private outdoor shower. There is pool area access from the shower.
Above the Primary Suite on the second floor, two Bedrooms share a full bath with glass walk-in shower. The other two Bedrooms are upstairs above the pod with the Kitchen and TV/Family Room. Both Bedrooms have private en suite bathrooms.
There is a Fitness Room located on the lower level. The room has a wall of floor-to-ceiling mirrors, padded workout floor, high ceiling, and natural light from a large window well. The equipment includes a Peleton bike, TRX, Bowflex Max Trainer, Sole treadmill, hand weights, and a large-screen TV and Sonos speaker.
Summer living centers around the Party Barn and pool area.

There are two walls of sliding barn doors and sliding barn screen doors, for various combinations of open-air enjoyment and entertaining.
The 16 by 34-foot heated saltwater pool has a French Grey Pebble Sheen finish and is a "sport-style" pool with three-and-a-half-foot depths at each end, and five-feet in the middle. There is a west-facing sun bench in the pool, and the 8 by 8-foot hot tub spills over into the pool. There is a large granite surround with sun loungers, and a Provençal-style garden. On the other side of the Party Barn, there is a grilling area and several outdoor dining tables. There is a large grass backyard that is fenced in and edged by privet hedge around the entire area.
The Farmhouse property sits across the street from the boat launch on Oyster Pond. Unlike the other Great Ponds of Martha's Vineyard, Oyster Pond only has private access. Renters have access to the pond -- which is great for standup paddleboarding or kayaking -- as well as access to the private association barrier beach at the far end of Oyster Pond. There is a beautiful sandy beach that has easy access to the calm waters of the pond side, as well as the surfy south shore ocean beach.
NOTE: Access is by boat only. Point B can help you rent small watercraft. Oyster Pond is usually opened up to the ocean once during the summer to flush and refresh the pond water. The water level drops about 10 feet. During that time, boat access is limited or not available. Typically, it takes about two - three weeks to refill. The timing depends on shorebird migration and pond water levels. The process can be as early as June or as late as early August. Boat rental should be planned for accordingly.
POOL HEAT: Pool is heated to 81 degrees and spa is heated to 94 degrees. During July and August, the rent includes a $200/week propane allowance. Heating usage above that level will be pro-rated and charged to the renter. Pool heat surcharge of $500/week is applied in May, June, September, and October, if the pool is open. Please inquire.
FIREPLACES: Great Room fireplace use is not permitted but the wood-burning fireplace in the Party Barn is available for guest use.
NOTE: Two-week minimum in July and August. Agent has owner interest. Caretaker lives in separate Guest House on the property.
