Home of the Week Overlooks Edgartown Harbor

Until the late 20th century, the hill overlooking Edgartown Lighthouse was largely bare of construction. You can still find many locals with fond memories of sledding and playing touch football there, before the property was subdivided into a series of homes that largely block the passing view.

But from those homes, the view remains sublime: the lighthouse, Edgartown Harbor and Chappaquiddick beyond.

One of the houses, at 119 North Water Street, is listed for sale at $10,900,000.  

Built in 1995, the property has three bedrooms and three bathrooms in just over 2,000 square feet of living space on a 16,000-square-foot lot.

It also has a private beach and deep-water dock at the end of its long, narrow yard alongside the public pathway to the lighthouse.

See more photos with the online listing, which describes the home further:

• "This classically styled but more recently built home lies near the end of beautiful North Water Street. The incredible views capture the entrance to the harbor, Edgartown Lighthouse and the Chappy Beach Club. 
• Built in 1995 and more recently renovated, the home is in immaculate condition and offers a abundance of white painted woodwork and natural floors, creating the perfect setting to enjoy views through the large water-facing windows. 
• The feature room is the living room/dining room with fireplace, which opens to a large sunroom with exterior decks beyond. 
• The second floor master bedroom also has its own waterfront deck. 
• There are two other bedrooms each with private baths, a gourmet kitchen and a luxurious exterior shower. 
• Owners have plans for a simple 2nd floor addition, which would accommodate a 4th bedroom. 
• Completing the property is a brick parking area, large waterfront yard, private beach and deep-water pier."
