About This Home
Situated along Atlantic Avenue, one of Vinalhaven's most desirable and historic neighborhoods, this distinguished 19th-century home holds a prominent position overlooking Carvers Harbor. Just a short walk to downtown shops, restaurants, and the harbor, the location offers both convenience and a strong connection to daily island life. From its elevated vantage point, the home enjoys views over the harbor, where the steady movement of boats and spectacular sunsets shape the daily experience of living here. A mooring in Carvers Harbor also conveys with the property, offering immediate access to the water and an exceptional amenity for boating enthusiasts. Originally built in the 1800s, the home carries a rich architectural legacy that has been thoughtfully reimagined through a complete restoration and renovation in 2024. Offering over 3,600 square feet, the flexible layout includes five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and two full kitchens, supporting a range of living options including multi-generational living or use as an apartment or short-term rental. Carefully selected materials and finishes--maple flooring, fir ceilings, shaker-style kitchens, and tiled baths--blend seamlessly with modern systems. A vaulted great room on the second level captures harbor views through a wall of windows, creating a bright and inviting space ideal for gathering and entertaining. This level brings together the kitchen, dining, and living areas, complemented by a wet bar that enhances the space for hosting. Two south-facing decks extend the living outdoors. At the rear of the property, a classic stone wall leads to direct access to the Armbrust Hill Nature Preserve trail system, connecting the home to an extensive network of protected walking trails. Altogether, this is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully restored historic home with modern versatility, harbor views, and direct access to both land and sea--capturing the very best of Vinalhaven living.
