Surrounded by natural beauty, this wonderful beach house features 300 feet of private beachfront and direct access to Lake Tashmoo. The house, which was originally built in the 1950's, was fully renovated in 2001 and has been impeccably maintained ever since. “The Swindle”, as it's known locally, was once home to Hollywood actress Katherine Cornell and is full of Vineyard history. With 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in the main house plus a gourmet kitchen, lovely open living room, dining room, and separate study, three sets of French doors open to the water view deck spanning the whole house. “The Swindlette” is a separate studio offering extra sleeping space with a full bed and a half bath, laundry facilities, and would be perfect for a nanny, housekeeper, or teenager who wants privacy. Moor a boat in Tashmoo or launch kayaks, paddleboards, or a little Zodiac from the private dock, and zip over to The Black Dog in Vineyard Haven for breakfast, or to pick up groceries. Watch the sunrise over Beach Plum Pond whilst having your coffee, and enjoy Martha's Vineyard's unrivalled sunsets over the Vineyard Sound.
