Property details
About 27 Clamshell Aly
'Snippershins', one of Vinalhaven's most iconic and publicized properties on Carver's Harbor, is located at the end of Clam Shell Alley, a quiet single lane village street dotted with classic architecture and wharfs showcasing the island's working waterfront. The prime harbor location offers all the features one would expect from a property with a longstanding maritime and working waterfront history--a deepwater dock, unobstructed ocean views, and a classic 1870s home with historic outbuildings. The residence has been occupied year-round for several decades and includes a hot water furnace (2016), an on-demand hot water system, and thermopane windows. The property is serviced by public sewer and private water, and the buildings have had consistent updates and improvements. The residence has ocean views from every window and includes a kitchen, dining room, library, full bath, and a lovely south-facing sunroom/living room overlooking wharfs and classic neighborhood architecture. The second level has three bedrooms and a recently renovated full bath. The third floor has two bonus rooms previously used as an office. Outside is a spacious covered porch, impressive 58' dock and float system, two well maintained antique outbuildings, and a shingled two-car garage with a heated studio space above. The garage/studio is ideal for an artist/writer, and also could provide additional space for family and guests or, with a permit, be converted into an ADU for additional income. The property has high speed internet and enjoys a dreamy location near village restaurants/shops, two land preserves, and public library. (The house per FEMA maps is not located in the flood zone.) There are very few residences with waterfront on Carver's Harbor and even fewer with a deepwater dock. This is a very special opportunity to own an historic home with numerous amenities that has been lovingly cared for by the same family for over 40 years.
