About this home
Tucked along one of the village's quiet streets, this handsome Late Victorian farmhouse has been part of the neighborhood for well over a century. Built in the late 1800s and once home to successful quarry owner Joseph Black, it reflects the craftsmanship and enduring appeal of Vinalhaven's granite era, with original architectural details that remain as appealing today as when the home was built.
A welcoming foyer with original double entry doors introduces living spaces that flow naturally from room to room. The bright eat-in kitchen opens to a formal dining room, while the comfortable living room is highlighted by a charming bay window, the perfect spot for reading or a holiday tree.
The second floor has two bedrooms and a spacious bath. The third floor features two wonderfully old-fashioned bedrooms that capture the charm of a bygone era, offering cozy guest spaces and the potential to create a private primary suite retreat. Attached to the residence is a classic 1½-story New England shed, connected to the laundry area just off the kitchen. Full of rustic charm and authentic island character, this inviting space recalls a time when island homes had a place to build, repair, create, and store the tools of daily life. With its first-floor bath, spacious loft, storage, and sliding doors opening to the deck, it offers endless possibilities as a workshop, artist's studio, home office, guest accommodations, or future living space.
Outside, established perennial gardens, mature trees, and a deck with decorative cottage-style railings create inviting places for morning coffee, summer meals, gardening, or simply enjoying the slower pace of island life.
Life here extends well beyond the property lines. Set within one of Vinalhaven's established neighborhoods, you'll enjoy the simple pleasure of walking to the harbor, library, restaurants, village shops, and Lane's Island. More than a beautifully preserved home, this is an opportunity to become part of a community....
