FAQ - Privacy in a Glass House - Although the house is 100% glass, 100% privacy can be achieved as all the walls have curtains which can be closed for complete privacy. We typically recommend having the curtains open to enjoy the floor to ceiling views of the natural surroundings, and achieve the intended feeling of the living space's integration into the nature surroundings, but all rooms (bathrooms, bedrooms, etc) can be 100% private as you would need and expect.
Chilmark is home to this vacation home. Tisbury Town Hall & Katharine Cornell Memorial Theater and Vineyard Playhouse are cultural highlights, and some of the area's attractions include Chilmark Chocolates and Fulling Mill Brook Preserve. The Grey Barn and Farm and Polly Hill Arboretum are also worth visiting. Discover the area's water adventures with kayaking and snorkeling nearby, or enjoy the great outdoors with cycling and hiking/biking trails.
