Listing broker remarks

A rare opportunity to create a premier in-town compound in one of Edgartown’s most desirable locations. Set on High Street, just moments from downtown Edgartown, this exceptional 16,000+ square foot lot offers tremendous potential to create a substantial five-bedroom residence while enjoying the convenience and charm of village living. The property currently features a 4 bedroom main house, attached 1 bedroom apartment, and an oversized garage with an attached 556-square-foot barn. The property provides a unique foundation for expansion, renovation, or a thoughtfully designed new build. With its generous lot size and coveted location, 49 High Street presents a rare opportunity to create a legacy property within walking distance of Edgartown’s shops, restaurants, harbor, and village amenities.— Wallace & Co.
