Historic character and exceptional craftsmanship define this beautifully restored 19th-century home in the heart of Vinalhaven Village.

The kitchen includes a functional antique cookstove alongside modern appliances. French doors lead to a private stone patio surrounded by established perennial gardens. The main level offers a spacious open-plan living/dining area filled with light, and timeless New England character, while a library with custom built-in heart-pine cabinetry offers flexible space for a first-floor bedroom, guest room, or home office. A half bath, pantry, and laundry area complete the first floor. Upstairs are two comfortable bedrooms and a beautifully appointed bath with an antique cast-iron soaking tub and separate slate-tiled shower. Original details, including the staircase and wood floors, have been carefully preserved throughout.

Two downstairs heat pumps offer cost-effective heating and cooling, providing exceptional comfort and flexibility in every season. Turn-key and full of character, this rare village property is just moments from Vinalhaven's harbor, shops, galleries, and community amenities.
