56  Old Courthouse Road

A West Tisbury Oasis - Set on one of the loveliest of all up-Island roadways (and a dead end at that), this wooded retreat situated on a southwest facing hillside has been built by one of the Island's true, and highly-respected, craftsmen.  The main house is a beautiful post and beam structure with three full floors of passive solar living space.  Flooded with light through an array of carefully restored windows, the home's wood and plaster really shine.  Everywhere you look, the owner's commitment to authenticity is evidenced - select antique light and bath fixtures, hardwood and tile flooring, and brick center-chimney with granite-faced Rumford fireplace and hearth.  Outside the stone retaining walls are the perfect backdrop for lovely, simple perennial beds - and this is just the main house.  Further up the hill and completely out of site of the main dwelling is the absolutely charming guesthouse described below and between the two are both an outstanding 400+ sq. ft. studio/workshop, that can also shelter your car or boat, and a perfect little garden shed.  If a country escape is what you are seeking, then this property is just ideal.  (3rd bedroom currently considered an "office" by the town and the finished lower level is not acknowledged by the town in the square footage calculation on the field card)
