An incredible home with one of the most outstanding views on the Island - Everything about this property is spectacular starting with the selection of the site and the architect. The dream started in l986 when the owners wanted to find the perfect location for a Frank Lloyd Wright style home which was going to be designed by Eleanore Pettersen, one of his last student/apprentices. The rest is history....Your interest in this property may be the panoramic waterview which will mesmerize and constantly distract you, the number of bedrooms for many family members and guests, the many common areas for groups to gather but it will also have the incredible element of being a historic Wright building for posterity which transfers to efficient, comfortable family living. Is there another property on the Vineyard that will contain all these irreplaceable elements? With living on three levels the "Hanna Honeycomb House" style merges the building, views, landscaping and topography into one. As meticulously as the architect and owners worked on the exterior and interior design and use of the house, the landscaping was given as much consideration. Everything is in total balance. The interior description of the property could go on, however the best way to appreciate this property is to take the video tour, read the background on the architect and design, enjoy the owner's joyous diary of family events in the home and then visit the property personally because you cannot experience it without being there.

- Interior FeaturesOSh, Floor 1: As you ride to the top of Tom Neelon Road you know you are going somewhere special. At the pinnacle of the driveway and through the carport, a Frank Lloyd Wright (FLW) signature feature, the view lays quietly in front of you causing a deep breath of relaxation and awe. Then the journey begins. the subtle design of the structure blends with view and becomes part of it. You are drawn to the front door with stained glass surround (another classic FLW feature), designed by Harriet Hayms. The magic starts as you enter the foyer which is a quiet enclave to the drama ahead and the central point to access the various Honeycombs of the house. The living room with custom crafted fireplace and a myriad of floor to ceiling glass frames the view beyond. The second floor loft overlooking the living room through open rail becomes the office space, private reading area and converts to an active stage for all performances and special events. The classic kitchen and dining room are located in the open space to the left which meanders to the back hall with laundry room and powder room and access to the carport. This is the family gateway to the utilitarian part of the house or to the carport which becomes the outdoor entertainment center in a drizzle or bright sun. Back to the foyer, the pivotal section of the house to the master suite honeycomb, totally isolated from all the house activity, it is a large, quiet refuge to retreat to with fireplace, generous bath and closet with the incredible views seeping into every corner. A small study/bedroom and powder room completes the first floor design., Floor 2: The Mezzanine - This multi-use space referenced in the first floor description serves as an office, private library and quickly converts to the virtual TV center of the house for creative performance. It is obvious that the multiple uses of space in this home could only have been designed with the total understanding of the importance of good space use as only Frank Lloyd Wright could do.
