Instead of your typical cookie and gumdrops, this gingerbread house being sold on Martha’s Vineyard was stacked together with wood.
Located at 2 Fisk Ave. on Martha’s Vineyard, the teal- and salmon-colored gingerbread-style cottage built in 1870 resembles a home ripped straight out of a fairy tale. The “sweet dreams” sign paltered to the top of the house complements the whimsical aesthetic.
The interior is just as storybook-like as the exterior. Small wooden arches interconnect the tight corridors that lead to the home’s living room, dining room and four bedrooms. Sprawling wooden beams replicate the pretzel sticks used in constructing the triangle dome of a gingerbread house.
White wooden panels encompass the entirety of the seasonal home’s appearance. The shape and separation of the wood also make the home appear as if it’s been there for centuries.
Along with a full bath and laundry, 2 Fisk Ave. offers a third-floor private balcony and backyard patio with a striking modern design that contrasts with the rest of the residence.
Located in the middle of Oaks Bluff, 2 Fisk Ave. is within walking distance to popular beaches, restaurants, ice cream parlors, arcades and the ferries.
The home is currently for sale for $749,000 and listed by Julie Walker with CENTURY 21 North East. Individuals interested in the property can find information at this website.
