and special entrance presents the opportunity for an in-home office, gallery/boutique or apartment.
One of the best features of the captain's home is found on the roof. The widow’s walk was where a captain’s wife might brace against the railing, looking to see if their husband’s ship would return. It delivers on it's intention of offering sweeping views of the harbor.
The widow's walk--for the best views in town!
If desired, the furnishings are available to craft a truly turnkey purchase. It almost goes without saying, but the best Edgartown has to offer is right outside the front door.
