A rare Edgartown estate blending Vineyard history with modern luxury — complete with a heated pool, spa, and elegant pool house, just moments from downtown.
Welcome to 77 Cooke Street, where Edgartown history meets modern coastal living. Initially built in 1784 by Reverend Joseph “Parson” Thaxter — chaplain of the Revolutionary War and the town’s longtime minister — this home is one of Martha’s Vineyard’s most storied addresses. Today, it has been entirely reimagined into a refined in-town retreat, complete with every luxury amenity.
The main house is filled with natural light and designed for gathering and privacy. The great room features a wood-burning fireplace (but only to be seen, not used) and a large-screen TV, while the formal dining room seats eight for memorable meals. A chef’s kitchen with vaulted ceiling, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances opens to a breakfast bar for casual mornings.
Each of the five ensuite bedrooms offers private comfort and outdoor spaces. The first-floor primary suite opens directly to the stone patio, as does another ground-level bedroom. Upstairs, two king suites extend onto a spacious deck, while the lower-level suite provides a private entrance, full kitchen, and living space — ideal for a nanny, guests, or extended family.
The pool house is a destination, with a second-floor lounge, custom stone fireplace, billiards table, bar with wine fridge, and deck overlooking the water. Outside, the heated 13’ x 24’ pool and 8’ x 8’ spa are framed by granite stone patios, multiple sitting areas, and a built-in grill for effortless entertaining.
All of this is just a short distance from downtown Edgartown’s shops, dining, and harbor. With linens included, central air conditioning, and high-end finishes throughout, 77 Cooke Street offers an unparalleled Vineyard vacation — where timeless history and contemporary luxury come together.
