Video of 239 East Chop Dr | Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts real estate & homes
- This house was built during the height of the original development of East Chop (originally a barren expanse of land called the Vineyard Highlands). Period photographs show that it
was one of the grandest on the bluff with all the architectural details that capture the elegance and charm of by-gone years. The property is currently held by the third generation of the same family that has held continuous ownership since the late 1930's when it was
purchased from the original owner.
This classic 1800's shingle style offers quite incredible, postcard, panoramic views over Nantucket Sound to Cape Cod. It is located on a high point of East Chop, near the Lighthouse and offers over 175' of waterfront.
Talke a walk down the stone steps down the bluff to the water with a potential for future swimming dock.
There has been no corruption of the authentic interior detail including original oak paneling, staircases, fireplaces.....nearly 4,000sf on 3 full levels with multiple living spaces, high ceilings, and large windows to the views.
This is an historic masterpiece. This enduring summer community, first settled in the 1860's and fully
flourishing in the early 1900's including a private beach club, tennis club and even a golf
course. The golf course gave way to housing in the 1920's but the other two facilities survive and thrive to present day.
Come live the good life on Martha's Vineyard - they way summers SHOULD be.

Saving Martha's Vineyard Lighthouses - 1980s
Starting in 1984
Vineyard Environmental Research, Inst. (VERI) worked with the U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Congress to preserve our island lights.
VERI Chairman, John F. Bitzer, Jr., and VERI President, William Waterway Marks, presented Congressional testimony to petition the United States government to transfer Gay Head, East Chop, and Edgartown Harbor Light to VERI.
VERI's proposed a novel program to help save our three island lighthouses from being razed, relocated, replaced by steel towers with strobe lights, sold, or licensed to off-island groups.
In 1985, VERI received a federal license to care for three of our island's lighthouses, and opened them to public access for the first time in over 50 years.
This was the first time in U.S. History that control of active lighthouses was transferred to a civilian organization, and the first time Martha's Vineyard history that any lighthouse was under the control of a local organization. After receiving a 35-year license from the U.S. Coast Guard, VERI undertook fundraising with the help of supporters and celebrities such as board members: Fairleigh S. Dickinson, Jr.; Jonathan Mayhew, whose ancestor's were the Vineyard's first European settlers; Vineyard Gazette co-owner, Jody Reston; philanthropist, Flipper Harris; Margaret K. Littlefield; the actress, Linda Kelsey; WHOI Director, and John F. Bitzer, Jr.. Other supporters were historian David McCullough; Senator Ted Kennedy; Caroline Kennedy; Edward M. Kennedy, Jr.; Congressman Gerry Studds; singer/songwriter, Carly Simon; Kate Taylor; Livingston Taylor; Hugh Taylor; Dennis Miller from Saturday Night Live; Bill Styron's wife, Rose Styron - who read one of her original lighthouse poems; United States Navy Rear Admiral, Richard A. Bauman; famed photographer, Alfred Eisenstaedt, and comedian, Steve Sweeney.
In 1986, VERI initiated an Vineyard schools program to help educate island children about the island's maritime history. VERI designated Charles W. Vanderhoop, Jr. to meet and greet island children. Charles was born at the Gay Head Light, and helped his father, who was America's first Native American Principal Lighthouse Keeper.
In 1994, VERI transferred its lighthouse license to the Dukes County Historical Society - today, Martha's Vineyard Museum.
In January 2014, the Town of Edgartown received ownership of the Edgartown Harbor Light. In September 2014, the town of Aquinnah received ownership of the Gay Head Light.
On a related note, the Save the Gay Head Light Committee began raising funds on September 2013 to relocate the Gay Head Light away from the eroding clay cliffs.
see: savegayheadlight.org
William Waterway, the founder of VERI, recently wrote a book entitled: Gay Head Lighthouse, the First Light on Martha's Vineyard. The book has 32 color photos and 40 B&W photos and is published by - The History Press

Martha's Vineyard (Wampanoag: Noepe, /mɑːr.ðəz.viːnjʊd/, often called just the Vineyard) is an island located south of Cape Cod in Massachusetts that is known for being an affluent summer colony. It includes the smaller Chappaquiddick Island which is usually connected to the Vineyard, though storms and hurricanes have been known to separate the two. The last such separation of the islands was in 2007 and the two islands are again connected as of April 2, 2015.
It is the 58th largest island in the United States, with a land area of 100 square miles (260 km2), and the third largest on the East Coast of the United States, after Long Island and Mount Desert Island. The island constitutes the bulk of Dukes County, Massachusetts, which also includes the Elizabeth Islands and the island of Nomans Land.
The Vineyard was home to one of the earliest known deaf communities in the United States; consequently, a special sign language developed on the island called Martha's Vineyard Sign Language (MVSL).
The 2010 census reported a year-round population of 16,535 residents, although the summer population can swell to more than 100,000 people. About 56% of the Vineyard's 14,621 homes are seasonally occupied.
Martha's Vineyard is primarily known as a summer colony, and it is only accessible by boat and air. However, its year-round population has considerably increased since the 1960s. The island's year-round population increased about a third each decade from 1970 to 2000, for a total of 145% or about 3 to 4% per year (46%, 30%, and 29% in each respective decade). The population of the Vineyard was 14,901 in the 2000 Census and was estimated at 15,582 in 2004. (Dukes County was 14,987 in 2000 and 15,669 in 2004). Dukes County includes the six towns on Martha's Vineyard and Gosnold; it increased by more than 10 percent between 2000 and 2010, according to Census data released in 2011, gaining nearly 1,548 residents. The Island's population increased from 14,987 to 16,535.
A study by the Martha's Vineyard Commission found that the cost of living on the island is 60% higher than the national average, and housing prices are 96% higher.[7] A study of housing needs by the Commission found that the average weekly wage on Martha's Vineyard was 71% of the state average, the median home price was 54% above the state's and the median rent exceeded the state's by 17%.

Driving Vineyard Haven, Martha's Vineyard
Driving Vineyard Haven, Martha's Vineyard
Vineyard Haven is a community within the town of Tisbury on Martha's Vineyard in Dukes County, Massachusetts, United States. It is listed as a census-designated place (CDP) by the U.S. Census Bureau, with a population of 2,048 as of the 2000 census.
Known by the original Wampanoag inhabitants as Nobnocket, this area was first referred to by the colonial settlers as Homes Hole; Homes from a Wampanoag term for old man, and Hole meaning a sheltered inlet. By the 19th century it was more commonly spelled Holmes Hole after the descendants of John Holmes (1730--1812) who had settled in the village during the second half of the 18th century. In 1871 the village officially changed its name to Vineyard Haven. Though the name Vineyard Haven technically refers only to one section of the town of Tisbury, the names are used interchangeably, with Vineyard Haven now being a commonly used title for the whole town.
Vineyard Haven is the main port of entry to Martha's Vineyard, and one of the three main population centers (with Edgartown and Oak Bluffs). The Steamship Authority wharf is located in Vineyard Haven, at which ferries arrive and depart year-round. (A second, seasonal wharf is located in neighboring Oak Bluffs.) Although the year-round population is only about 2,000 people, its population increases tremendously in the summer, as many houses on the Vineyard are owned by summer residents.
Geography:
Vineyard Haven is located at
41°27′22″N 70°36′26″W.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 4.1 km² (1.6 mi²). 3.2 km² (1.2 mi²) of it is land and 0.9 km² (0.3 mi²) of it (20.89%) is water.
Demographics:
As of the census of 2000, there were 2,048 people, 941 households, and 479 families residing in the CDP. The population density was 632.6/km² (1,635.9/mi²). There were 1,420 housing units at an average density of 438.6/km² (1,134.3/mi²). The racial makeup of the CDP was 88.92% White, 3.22% African American, 1.86% Native American, 0.20% Asian, 0.10% Pacific Islander, 1.71% from other races, and 4.00% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.63% of the population.
There were 941 households out of which 23.1% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 37.2% were married couples living together, 10.4% had a female householder with no husband present, and 49.0% were non-families. 39.1% of all households were made up of individuals and 14.3% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.17 and the average family size was 2.93.
In the CDP the population was spread out with 20.6% under the age of 18, 6.3% from 18 to 24, 30.8% from 25 to 44, 25.7% from 45 to 64, and 16.7% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 41 years. For every 100 females there were 92.3 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 86.9 males.
The median income for a household in the CDP was $37,318, and the median income for a family was $44,844. Males had a median income of $35,824 versus $28,750 for females. The per capita income for the CDP was $26,225. About 6.5% of families and 11.3% of the population were below the poverty line, including 29.2% of those under age 18 and 10.3% of those age 65 or over.
Transportation:
Air Service is provided from Martha's Vineyard Airport.
The most reliable source of public transportation from Vineyard Haven to the rest of the island is the Martha's Vineyard Regional Transit Authority (VTA). Almost all of the buses stop at the Vineyard Haven Steamship Authority bus terminal and it is the most used in the summer time and year round. The VTA is the only Island-wide public transportation system on Martha's Vineyard, which makes it the best choice for traveling around the Vineyard for tourists who do not have cars and do not want to pay for a taxi.
