Experience History, Architectural Character, and Modern Living in this 1872 Martha's Vineyard Cottage. The current owners are renting the cottage for the first time. Step back in time and into the enchanting world of 19th-century architecture at this lovingly preserved Victorian cottage, originally built in 1872 by renowned architect John Hoyt for his residence. Nestled within the picturesque Martha's Vineyard Camp Meeting Association grounds in Oak Bluffs, this 4-bedroom, 1-bath gem seamlessly blends period details with modern conveniences - including the architectural pedigree of being designed by Hoyt, who was the architect of the iconic Tabernacle (an open-air church) that is this cottage’s front yard. As you enter the atrium-style living space, warm natural light filters through the second-story, clerestory-stained glass windows. The spacious porch provides the perfect perch to soak in the historic neighborhood while enjoying outdoor concerts and community events at the open-air Tabernacle. Renovated with upscale appliances, the cottage melds historical authenticity with contemporary comfort. The layout includes three bedrooms on the main floor and a whimsical tower bedroom upstairs (with windows on four sides; it is unique and one of the best bedrooms in Oak Bluffs). Note that the fourth bedroom (on the second floor) is only accessible by a steep stair that is more vertical than horizontal and akin to a ladder. There is also a stately dining room with an adjacent four-stool bar area and a dedicated office/study. Whether for living or entertaining, the classic design offers ample space. Beyond its meticulously maintained architectural craftsmanship, this Martha's Vineyard treasure delights with a truly unique ambiance. Experience the one-of-a-kind community spirit and old-world atmosphere that has made this area so treasured for generations of visitors. Don't miss your chance to create your own memorable chapter in John Hoyt's masterpiece cottage, perfectly positioned adjacent to his iconic Tabernacle.
