"Nina Farmer describes Martha's Vineyard in summer as having a 'certain kind of ethos,' characterized by local makers, farmer's markets, and the enjoyment of simple pleasures like lobster rolls."
"The family found a 4,900-square-foot compound in Edgartown, which has an 'up-island feel' with historic homes and maritime-inspired design, differing from the more typical Edgartown style."
"Despite the mismatch between the character-filled exterior and the bland interior, the homeowners were captivated by the picturesque setting and the sizable guest home, which could accommodate seasonal visitors."
"Farmer noted that the family lived in the home as-is for a season, which revealed that 'no walls needed to be moved,' allowing for a focus on enhancing the interior."
Nina Farmer focused on locally sourced pieces to design a vacation home in Martha's Vineyard for a Harvard professor and his family. After renting for six years, they found a 4,900-square-foot compound in Edgartown, surrounded by trees and near the beach. The home features a unique up-island feel, contrasting with Edgartown's typical style. The family appreciated the picturesque setting and guest home, despite the bland interior, which Farmer planned to enhance after a season of living in the house as-is.
