↑ Edgartown, MA (5 beds, 5.5 baths)—$4,450,000: This 3,654-square-foot waterfront home Martha's Vineyard, the Massachusetts summering destination favored by the Obamas and Hollywood celebs, features views of the Atlantic Ocean from every room, a lovely deck to lounge about when the weather's nice out, and a separate guest cottage. The interiors are quite airy with exposed beams and an open-plan living room kitchen.
