If you want a private mooring in Edgartown Harbor, you have to add your name to a wait list – and it can take years and years before one becomes available. At 25 Down Harbor Road in Edgartown, however, which recently sold for $5,500,000, dock and mooring access is a perk that comes with that price tag (although there are additional fees for their use). 

The 1,728-square-foot, four-bedroom, two-bathroom home was built with an upside-down design, meaning the communal spaces are on the top floor. This allows for views of Katama Bay from the living/dining room, as well as the second-story wraparound deck. So you can keep an eye on your boat from a high vantage point. Better yet, you can take a short walk down to it instead.
