Property Details

So close to Vineyard Haven’s harbor and Main Street, this beautifully maintained 6-bedroom historic home offers classic Vineyard charm, modern comfort, serene outdoor spaces, and a truly unbeatable close-to-everything location.

Discover the charm, comfort, and unbeatable convenience of 22 Grove Avenue, a gracious historic home in the heart of Vineyard Haven—just off Main Street and a quick three-minute stroll to ocean swimming at the bottom of the street. This beautifully cared-for property blends classic Vineyard character with modern amenities, making it an ideal retreat for extended families, multi-generational groups, and anyone who wants to experience Martha’s Vineyard at its most accessible and welcoming.

Set on a lovely, landscaped lot, the home is surrounded by lilacs, hydrangeas, perennial flower beds, and plenty of grassy yard space perfect for croquet, bocce, or afternoon lounging. The location alone makes this home a rare gem: stroll easily to the harbor, restaurants, shops, galleries, Owen Park, the ferry, and some of Vineyard Haven’s most beloved waterfront paths and scenic lookouts.

Inside, the home offers six bedrooms and 2.5 baths, thoughtfully arranged across two levels to accommodate families and larger groups with comfort and privacy. Three bedrooms sit on the main level, with three additional bedrooms upstairs—an ideal layout for mixed-age groups or those seeking distinct sleeping zones.

The interiors feature a bright, airy double living room with high ceilings, perfect for gathering after a day at the beach or for relaxing with a book in the afternoon light. A spacious dining room opens to a side patio, creating a seamless indoor–outdoor flow for summer meals, barbecues, or cocktail hours under the Vineyard sky.

The traditional kitchen includes a covered back stoop and a charming side deck—two excellent spots for morning coffee, outdoor dining, or unwinding after a swim. And for the full island experience, guests will love the outdoor shower, perfect for rinsing off after days spent at nearby beaches or exploring island trails.

From this prime in-town location, the best of Martha’s Vineyard is at your fingertips. Drive to Lake Tashmoo for clamming, fishing, or swimming. Wander the wooded paths of West Chop Woods. Enjoy the easy access to Main Street for ice cream, bookstores, boutiques, and harbor views. Sunrise lovers will appreciate glimpses of East Chop and West Chop lighthouses—an iconic backdrop to early morning walks.

Whether you’re planning family gatherings, beach-filled weeks, or a relaxed island escape with lots of things close by, 22 Grove Avenue delivers the perfect blend of history, charm, modern comfort, and Vineyard Haven convenience. This is coastal living the way it was meant to be enjoyed—easy, accessible, peaceful, and unforgettable.
