41 South Water Street

New Construction

Overlooking the sparkling expanse of Edgartown Harbor, 41 South Water Street is a distinguished Colonial Revival home that embodies character, craftsmanship, and coastal elegance. Just steps from town, this iconic residence—with its striking blue shutters, welcoming hydrangeas, and gracious façade—is a familiar favorite to those who stroll along South Water Street.

Expertly designed with a deep appreciation for Edgartown’s maritime heritage, the home weaves nautical influences throughout—from the compass rose inlay in the grand front foyer to the custom teak and holly powder room with brass plumbing accents. A third-floor “crow’s nest” offers a playful nod to seafaring tradition, complete with a wet bar and lounge—perfect for hosting or unwinding after a day on the water.

The home features three bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths, each thoughtfully finished with architectural integrity and coastal charm. Paneled walls in the primary suite, baths featuring classic beadboard, and horizontal shiplap in the gabled guest room speak to the exceptional craftsmanship present in every corner. A cherry-paneled office provides a quiet retreat, while the formal dining room and fully outfitted butler’s pantry support effortless entertaining.

Whether arriving through the formal entry or the charming mudroom Dutch door, visitors are welcomed into spaces that are as livable as they are beautiful. This project also stands as a personal legacy—a testament to the timeless taste and vision of its late co-owner, whose spirit endures in every elegant detail.

A true gem in the heart of the historic district, 41 South Water Street is a classic harbor-view retreat—layered with meaning, crafted with care, and designed to be enjoyed for generations.
