Description

Steeped in Vineyard history, this distinguished estate was originally crafted in 1784 for Reverend Joseph “Parson” Thaxter—Edgartown’s beloved minister and First Chaplain of the Revolutionary War. More than two centuries later, the home stands as a stunning fusion of preserved heritage and modern refinement.

Reimagined for contemporary living, the residence offers an atmosphere of timeless elegance and comfort. Five gracious bedroom suites in the main house each feature king beds, fireplaces, and private baths, creating a sense of boutique-hotel luxury for family and guests alike.

The main level unfolds into a light-filled great room that unites a chef’s kitchen, dining area, and relaxed living space overlooking the pool. Perfect for entertaining, the design encourages effortless flow between cooking, dining, and conversation.

For recreation, a detached game room above the carriage house invites play and leisure with a full lounge, billiards table, and wet bar.

Step outside and discover your own private retreat: a heated pool and spa framed by bluestone terraces, multiple seating and dining areas, a built-in grill, and a cozy outdoor fireplace—ideal for gathering from sunrise to starlight.

Just moments from Edgartown’s harbor, boutiques, and acclaimed restaurants, The Thaxter House offers the rare chance to live within a piece of island history—gracefully redefined for the modern era.
