Sparrow Cottage

     Charming 1 -1/2 storey cottage at 428 Main St, 1 mi. north of Vineyard Haven center, on the way to West Chop, an older area of estates, stone walls, shady lanes, Mink Meadows golf,  West Chop lighthouse. Sparrow cottage is 2 doors down from 'The Thorncroft Inn', diagonally across Main St from home of NJ Senator Lautenberg, few blocks to public beach next to Vineyard Haven Yacht Club.

     Perfect for 2nd home on the Vineyard, perhaps with some rentals. Current rental rates at http://www.thebirdhouses.net.  Many repeating visitors love the cottage and the location.  Insulated, with Rinnai propane wall furnace, for off-season rental as well.

     Adding a glassed/screened sunroom on the south side would enhance this property, providing more light/warmth in winter and ocean breezes in summer.

     Cottage-style furnishings, painted wood floors, blue & white nautical decor, airy open 2nd floor bedroom. Updated kitchen, electrical, hot water.  Parking for 2 cars.

     FY 2008 Tisbury tax assessment $456,800
