About this House

Storybook setting in the quaint seaside village of Vineyard Haven, the commanding Captain Gilbert L. Smith House, c. 1854, affords an enchanting opportunity for space and privacy within the highly sought after William Street Historic District and just two blocks to all the shops, restaurants, galleries, town beach, tennis, and ferry. The property also has potential for an additional buildable lot. For 35 years, home of Susan Branch, the illustrious self-taught illustrator and author of New York Times best-seller "Martha's Vineyard, Isle of Dreams," this quintessential Greek Revival gem with Neoclassical touches enjoys over 3,468 s.f. of indoor space including the summer kitchen (now pantry/laundry) on more than a half acre in town with wood floors throughout and cheerful eastern sunlight mornings and western afternoon sunlight with evening skies. With period paneling, crown molding, and 9' ceilings, the floor plan includes front hall entry with lovely curved staircase, front parlor-studio, formal living room with fireplace and bay window, spacious dining room, second side entrance vestibule used as a dry bar, cozy wood paneled study/tv room ~ "the Snug", eat-in kitchen with wainscotting, east-facing side porch, laundry/pantry/storage room, and a half bath. With a convenient back staircase off the kitchen, the second floor with 8.5" ceilings includes additional spacious rooms: A large primary bedroom with fireplace and ensuite bath, sitting room, linen closet, three additional bedrooms, one with bay window, plus two additional full baths ~ one with claw foot tub. Wonderful two-story carriage house - barn, expansive lawn and yard, tea-house pergola for afternoon tea, cocktail social, and alfresco dining. Seller has drawings for potential renovation of the barn to include a studio apartment - see Documents.

    "It’s great, I think any dog owner would enjoy this town for their pup. No dog park that I’m aware of, but there is one in a neighboring town. "
  • Kellyjeanmarie33
    "This is the most wonderful place to exist. You are immersed in nature yet close to town and all of its amenities. The beaches are walking distance. The neighborhood is safe. We never lock our doors. The schools are incredible. The community is living and accepting . "
  • Kellyjeanmarie33
    "This is the most wonderful and magical place to be. Full of Natural Beauty. Immersion in Nature is Constant. The Ocean and the Forest are All Around You. We are Blessed to be Here Each Day. 🙏💜✝️💜🙏"
  • Peter G.
    "The Mink Meadows community is like being up island. quiet, private, easy access to market and so much more. "
  • Meesh
    "In the winter the tourists leave and the island gets quiet. It stays relatively warm due to the Gulf Stream pulling warm water north to insulate the Sound and even though the trees loose their leaves, all the moisture creates the perfect conditions for incredibly beautiful sea-foam green lichen and mosses to cover every organic surface. Therefore, the blissful hue saturates the fog and mist; enveloping every road and path throughout the island. It’s the perfect place to forget the Internet for awhile and relish in getting purposefully lost! Enjoy it with friends or better yet, enjoy the solitude; listen to the wind whistle through the trees, hear the waves crash into the shore, and forget about everything but the moment you’re experiencing right then and now! "
  • Jeannine L.
    "The town of Tisbury on Martha's Vineyard is a community with much to offer families with children, couples, and retirees. In addition to the beaches,there are a lot of recreational activities including golf, tennis, biking, fishing, and water sports. During the day the downtown is bustling. The location is also ideal for those who want to be nearby the ferry. The Steanship ferry out of Vineyard Haven runs throughout the year. "
  • Pfred00
    "This community has a great mix of full time and summer residents, so it never feels deserted. Lady Slipper Way is part of the Spring Hill Association, a cul de sac like small community, with fully paved roads and moderate homes. Walking distance to town, tennis and Lake Tashmoo."
  • Bob B.

  • Robert B.
    "Perfect place to live when you want to get away from it all. Vacation or year round I know of knowhere else I'd rather live. So I'm planning on moving back."
