For $640K, a Martha's Vineyard 'gingerbread house' measuring 354 square feet

"Tucked inside the Martha's Vineyard Camp Meeting Association in Oak Bluffs, which was built as a summer religious camp for Methodists, Wesleyan Grove is a non-denominational 34-acre community of Carpenter Gothic cottages that draws tourists from near and far to catch a glimpse of the colorful homes. The house a 2 Lincoln Ave. is a one-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage measuring 354 square feet that was built around 1876. It's lovingly referred to as "Fun Size" or "Baby Vineyard.""

"The previous owners updated the roof, windows, and siding. The seller, who purchased the property in 2022, winterized the space so she could live in it year-round. "It's becoming more popular, believe it or not," said Stacy Ickes of Donnelly + Co, who has the listing. She notes that there have been several sales over the past few years within the community, which she attributes to both its affordability in comparison to the rest of the island and its rich history."

"The front porch accommodates seating for two under two windows, and a small side yard is lined by hydrangea bushes. Inside, every inch of space has been maximized. Hardwood floors run throughout under white 20-foot peaked ceilings. A living area features enough space for two couches with several windows that allow the sun to stream in, bouncing off butter-yellow walls. A bedroom area is currently divided from the rest of the home by a partition."
