Set on a granite promontory overlooking Vinalhaven's outlying islands, the house was designed by architect Dick Morehouse who studied under Bauhaus director Walter Gropius and later partnered with him at The Architects Collaborative (TAC). Built in the early 1970s, the property consists of three-linked structures cascading down the hillside. Floor to ceiling windows and sliding glass doors make this a classic of the 'inside/outside' genre. Completely refurbished in 2012 by its designer-owner, the central structure houses the kitchen plus dining, living and library areas. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms plus large deck spaces with views to Old Harbor and Hurricane Sound complete the complex. Set on an acre of land, the house enjoys a peaceful setting, ocean views, and a short drive or bike ride to shops in the island's village. This meticulously-maintained and 'published' property is appointed to the highest specifications including Sub-Zero refrigerator, Gaggenau oven and cooktop, and a Fireorb suspended wood-burning fireplace. Simple, sophisticated and calming interiors surrounded by the stunning natural beauty Vinalhaven is known for.
