Imagining Moby Way It’s hard to believe right now, in the dead of winter, as the cold winds blow and the fog and grayness press in, that there is a thing called summer. But if you try, you can imagine it. Picture yourself in a quaint, gray-shingled, white-trimmed cottage at the end of a curved, bright, white shell driveway. Can you see yourself there, out on the back deck? Perhaps taking an outdoor shower after a trip to Cisco Beach, just minutes away, your sandy surfboard propped against the outside of the oversized cedar shower, the sun beating down and warming your tan skin? Can you imagine the bright green lawn and the perfect expanse of mahogany deck and perhaps a pitcher of margaritas waiting for you on the teak table there? Concentrate, and project your very being through a charming set of French doors which lead to an openness and a brightness of beadboard and sunlight and windblown gauzy window treatments. If you can do all that, then you can picture the home at Three Moby Way. And more importantly, you can see yourself in it. A good start.

This cottage (Or is it a house? It’s hard to say. There’s certainly plenty of room.) is part of a collection of homes along gently curving streets located just off Hummock Pond Road. To the south, only minutes away, are some of the island’s most prized beaches. To the north, just a short drive, is the Land Bank’s Gardner Farm Trail which offers some of the most varied and interesting walking trails and open spaces on the island. Bartlett Farm is also nearby. As is the winery and brewery. And a fish market. And a nursery. In fact, you need rarely leave the neighborhood if you so choose. Everything you could want is close at hand.

Upon entering via the sky-blue door at the front of the house, you find yourself in a large and open space that comprises the living room with its large brick fireplace, a dining area and the kitchen. The kitchen itself is a marvel, with top-of-the-line appliances, clear maple butcher block counters, a deep, stainless steel sink and a vibrant and festive multicolor glass tile backsplash that adds just the right amount of color and intrigue to the space.

The beadboard wainscoting throughout the home, which is painted a bright semi-gloss white, extends to seven feet and terminates at a wide shelf which rings each room, allowing you to display paintings or small treasures and collectables. Light pours in through windows upon windows, giving the space an airy, open sense.

To the right of the dining area is the master suite. Here, you’ll find an expertly tiled bathroom with one-inch, sea-glass-green square tiles that look as if they were picked from the beach and laid directly into the mortar. The master bedroom is large and

accommodating, and it is made even larger thanks to its own set of French doors which lead to the back deck.

To the front of the house is another room which serves as a study or media space. On the opposite side of the home are two additional bedrooms which share a single bath. The rear bedroom also has its own access to the rear deck.

In addition to the main house there is a garage with an attached studio. This space, which is decorated in the bright sunny beadboard-style of the main house, features a wet bar and makes an ideal office or artist’s space. There are two levels here, as well as plenty of privacy and quiet.

Finally, to the rear of the house, is the third structure. This one is not for work, but for play — it’s a cute, gingerbread playhouse just a short skip across the immaculate lawn.

This three bedroom, three bath home in a highly desirable area, close to Cisco Beach, is offered at $2,395,000.
