Listing broker remarks

Tucked away on a quiet side street just 0.7 miles from Circuit Avenue, this charming Oak Bluffs cottage offers the rare combination of privacy and proximity to town.The original two-bedroom, one-bath home was thoughtfully expanded to include a bright great room that opens directly to a large fenced yard -- ideal for outdoor dining, pets, or simply enjoying Vineyard summers. The property is enhanced by mature, thoughtfully curated plantings including Japanese maple, cherry, and magnolia, creating a peaceful, garden-like setting with seasonal color and texture.A separate storage shed with its own small deck presents exciting potential for a studio, home office, creative space, or even a future sauna.A comfortable year-round residence, vacation retreat, or investment opportunity close to beaches, ferries, restaurants, and all that downtown Oak Bluffs has to offer -- without the noise of being in the middle of it.— Compass
