This charming farmhouse blends rich Island history with timeless appeal.Once home to Benjamin Norton Luce (1840–1912) — Civil War veteran, blacksmith, and town constable — the property sits on 1.5 acres of pastoral land and offers 5 bedrooms, 2 full baths, solar panels, barn, and a newly updated septic system meeting current standards. Thoughtfully restored for year-round living, the home provides comfort, character, and sustainability. Just minutes from Vineyard Haven’s harbor, shops, and ferry, this rare offering combines privacy with exceptional convenience.Whether enjoyed as-is or further restored as a preservation project, the Ben Luce Homestead is ready for its next chapter — as a year-round residence, summer retreat, or historic Island treasure.The barn offers the perfect foundation for adding an ADU or additional living space, enhancing both functionality and value.
