COMING SOON! Welcome to 18 Sylvan Avenue, a delightful, custom-crafted four-bedroom, four-bath, contemporary-style home set at the end of a quiet neighborhood road in Vineyard Haven. Surrounded by eight acres of conservation land, the property offers a peaceful setting with a spacious wraparound deck overlooking the natural landscape. It truly feels like its own private enclave, both inside and out. The home is in pristine, move-in-ready condition and has been thoughtfully renovated and meticulously maintained by the current owners. A welcoming entry leads directly into the open-concept space where a well appointed living room with fireplace flows into the dining area and kitchen. Positioned to the right of the entry is the primary bedroom suite, while two additional bedrooms and two bathrooms are tucked beyond the kitchen on the opposite side of the home, creating a functional and well designed layout which maximizes privacy. A finished lower level with a full bathroom and laundry provides additional flexible living space or a fourth bedroom. Skylights and sliders throughout the home fill the interior with natural light and create an easy connection to the multiple decks, beautiful mature gardens and woodlands. With an impressive rental history, this unique property is offered turnkey, making it an ideal opportunity as a year-round residence, Island retreat, or investment property. A true gem, conveniently located only 1.5 miles to Vineyard Haven’s Main Street shops, restaurants and ferry terminal, and only 5 miles to all that downtown Oak Bluffs has to offer! Showings begin on September 25th. Please note there is ducted HVAC and mini splits for both heat and AC as well as radiant heat in the floors throughout both levels. Property is located in the Lagoon Pond Watershed, septic will require an upgrade after transfer. Seller will include a four bedroom septic design.
