40 Howard Street, Vineyard Haven

A great house right on the Lagoon in Vineyard Haven. This house was built in 1999. Do you know the cost of gas that year?

This beautifully designed house is located on over an acre of land right on the Lagoon in Vineyard Haven. The house has three bedrooms, three baths with stunning waterviews from every window. The first floor has a lovely open kitchen, dining, living room area and a master and a second bedroom, each with a full bath. The lower level has another bderoom and den/rec room and a separate sitting room with the third full bath.

There is lush grounds and extensive landscaping which creates privacy both in the front and back yards, The back yard conveniently connects to a staircase to a private beach and a deep water mooring. What a great house for a family. Dinner at night on the deck, enjoying the breeze from the Lagoon.

This house was built in 1999. Do you remember what was happening in that year? Here are a few facts: Lance Armstrong wins his first Tour de France, the Eruo currency was introduced January 1, 1999 in 11 countries. I'm sure those 11 countries never anticipated what would be happening in the Euro Zone 13 years later.
