Brand new retaining wall made it possible to take out trees and open up the spectacular view.  You can’t get any closer to the water than in this 5 room contemporary home.  Sit outside on the wraparound deck and take in the expansive waterfront vista or stroll down a few steps to your own private beach.  Close to Vineyard Haven and the bike path to Edgartown, yet a world away.

It took but a few weeks for us to find the buyer of this lovely contemporary and our seller client could not be more pleased to move on to her new home. Not your “cookie cutter” layout, the first floor of this 2,500 square foot home includes a gracious foyer to greet your guests, sunken living room with fireplace and soaring ceilings, modern kitchen, sunny dining area, first floor bedroom and full bathroom, and attached garage. The elegant stairwell invites you up to a loft area, master bedroom en-suite, third bedroom and full bathroom, and laundry room. The basement has incredible potential with unusually high ceilings and three rooms studded out beckoning to be finished. Other features that add value are a sweet back deck, lawn irrigation, central air, Anderson windows, and four-bedroom septic. Just a few cosmetic tweaks and you have a sleek, chic home for all seasons. Sale contingent upon seller purchasing another home. Asking price $739,000

It’s that time of year again when I am bouncing from the Capawock theater in Vineyard Haven, to Entertainment Cinemas in Edgartown, and back to Island Entertainment Rentals so I can catch all the Oscar nominations before the big night Sunday!

Alas, it seems to be a lack luster year for movies. Highly unusual for me, I literally fell asleep in my seat during three films! And I don’t know about you but I really haven’t been blown away by a film since Slumdog Millionaire. That’s not to say I haven’t truly enjoyed many of the films made, like the charming and visually magnetic Hugo or the fantastically dreamlike but disjointed Tree of Life. I still get all jazzed up when I go to the movies!

Another reason my winter has been exciting is the brisk Martha’s Vineyard real estate market! Since the fall I have been buzzing from property to property with buyers who are actually making offers and buying houses! They’re happy to see a good value and realize their dreams of owning here and the sellers are ecstatic to be selling when other parts of the country are at a standstill.

So in honor of an exciting winter here on the gorgeous island of Martha’s Vineyard, below are my choices for the Best Martha’s Vineyard Properties for sale as well as my 2012 Oscar Picks. Be sure to click on the property address links to see details and photos of these properties…and see you at the movies!
