Built for Families
Built in 1925, the house rambles west and south for more than 4,440 square feet, offering secret hiding places behind walls and under eaves that have delighted children looking to sneak out of sight into imaginary worlds made possible by small doors and unknown corners.
A large granite fireplace warms the main living room which looks out though a row of glass doors and window onto the private beach and Vineyard Sound.
Six bedrooms and 4.5 baths provide room for the family, plus auntie and uncle and grandparents, too. Two attics, a two-car attached garage and plenty of walk-in closets provides ample storage space for extra beach toys, towels and games in addition to the usual stuff.
Oil heat makes 809 Main the perfect place for Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays so that lifelong memories are formed year-round. Send me more information about 809 Main!
