77 Cooke Street
Built in 1784 by Reverend Joseph “Parson” Thaxter, First Chaplain of the Revolutionary War and the town’s longtime minister, this storied residence has anchored the island’s history for more than two centuries. Today, it has been
meticulously restored and thoughtfully updated to offer a one-of-a-kind Vineyard experience — blending heritage, elegance, and comfort in the heart of downtown.
The sunny and bright first level of the main house includes a large open great room with TV and wood fireplace. A separate enclosed dining room has seating for eight. The kitchen has a vaulted ceiling, stainless appliances, quartz countertops, and a large island with breakfast bar seating for three.
All five bedrooms are ensuite and have gas fireplaces. The primary and another bedroom are located on the first floor, and both have doors that lead out to the stone patio. Two additional bedrooms are located on the second floor and have French doors that lead out to a large deck. A final bedroom is located on the lower level and includes a full kitchen, living and dining area, and a separate private entrance. Perfect for the nanny or additional visitors.
The pool house features a second floor living room with sofa seating, custom stone fireplace, and TV. Doors lead to the deck overlooking the pool. There is also a billiards table, powder room, and a bar area with a wine fridge, sink, microwave, and ice maker. The first level has an additional half bathroom and an enclosed outdoor shower.
Outside, a granite stone patio surrounds the heated pool and spa. There are multiple places to sit and relax. There is a built in grill and outdoor fireplace for easy dining and entertainment.
Located just a short stroll from the heart of downtown and all that Edgartown has to offer.
