7 Elliott Avenue, Oak Bluffs MA 02557

This Second Empire Mansard home c.1865 is Eastville's charmer. In a very convenient location, it is a short walk to the beach and equidistant to the down town areas of Vineyard Haven and Oak Bluffs. The original structure has a slate tiled roof, beautiful cornices, and dentil detail. Inside features high ceilings, two adjoining front sitting rooms, a dining room, and back entry by the first floor bathroom and laundry room. Head up the “Jack & Jill” staircase to two bedrooms with a shared bathroom. In 2000 the light-filled kitchen and sitting room were added and beautifully sited with access and view of the lovely side yard. The lot is more than one third acre so there is room for further expansion. Upon sale, the board of health will require a septic system upgrade as it is a single cesspool presently. In addition, the lot is located in the Lagoon Pond District of Critical Planning which restricts the number of bedrooms. It is assessed by the town for three bedrooms, so it may be grandfathered for three bedrooms but confirmation is required.
