Welcome to 18 Spring Street

"Hi! I'm Simson, and I'm standing in the master bedroom of our old home on on Martha's Vineyard. In 1996 the town renumbered the street that we're on as part of the E911 plan, so the house is now at 18 Spring Street (it had been at 10 Spring Street). We bought this house on May 26, 1995. It's about two blocks from the ferry terminal. We've got a view of the water from our second floor, and about a 1/4 acre behind the house. We are a 30 second walk from Main Street, where there is a drug store, a movie theater, a cafe, and a few expensive resturants. But you probably want to know about our house, right?

"Well, let me tell you, 18 Spring Street is a beautiful house. It was originally built in the 1840s and expanded several times since. The last big building spree was in the 1940s. Unfortunately, it was all done with inferior materials. Much of it has been replaced."

"Let me take you on a tour through the house!"
