On more than an acre-and-a-half of land near Long Point Wildlife Refuge in West Tisbury sits a retreat at 55 Charles Neck Way. It’s a coveted spot for its proximity to beaches, hiking trails, and birdwatching, and recently sold for $1,837,500 – just in time for summer enjoyment.

The 1,654-square-foot, four-bedroom, three-bathroom, reverse-designed home features screened-in porches on both levels and a wall of sliding glass doors that open to an expansive deck, which means there are plenty of possibilities for indoor-outdoor living. The turnkey property was sold with all new furnishings too, so there wasn’t much left for the new owners to do except sit back and enjoy the tranquil setting West Tisbury properties often provide.
