Former President Obama and his family are permanent homeowners on Martha’s Vineyard, after completing the purchase this week of a large home in the coastal perimeter of Edgartown.

Talk about curb appeal - this home is a real head-turner! It is located in Down Harbor which is well-known for its private association beach on Katama Bay and association dock. The highly desirable location is midway between South Beach and the village. The home itself is in move-in condition. The open-plan living room and kitchen area is the focal point and there is also a formal dining room for when the occasion requires. This is the perfect home for entertaining – there is lots of indoor space that spills out onto a large patio for those warm summer evenings.

A rarely available water view home on sought-after Edgartown Bay Road. Sited on a knoll, the property offers panoramic views of Katama Bay from both the first and second floors and has unique privacy with secluded, pergola covered garden patios from which to enjoy the quiet of the adjoining 17-acre, forever wild conservation land. This is just the start of what sets the house apart - only 500 feet away is the beach on Katama Bay where you take your morning swim and are welcome to leave your watercraft all summer long.

'The Living is Easy' in this custom designed & built 4,600 sf. Katama property with a spacious 4 bedroom home, separate 3 bay garage (with a handsome office & bathroom above), central air conditioning & phenomenal storage, in upscale Beach Plum Meadows. Whether entertaining friends, family or associates, there is ample room to visit & interact as a group or to find separate spaces to enjoy the breezes & views across the protected Farm Institute land to the Atlantic Ocean in the distance.
