South Water Street Revisited, originally owned by Stanley Washburn Jr., was built in 1890 and relocated to its current lot in 1955. The project was a restoration of the original 1890s along with significant renovations. The house was raised 3′ due to FEMA and habitable space regulations while maintaining a natural look from the streetscape. The crumbling foundation was replaced and a wing was added that introduced a walk out lower level providing guest quarters and entertaining spaces that open out onto the views of the marshland and Edgartown harbor in the distance. The program included developing a large swimming pool off to the side, porches off the main body of the original wing of the house, and pop outs at the rear of the property all set on a new brick veneered foundation.

The house is unique in terms of its body and scale. The home appears to be a 1 ½ story house, however at the rear of the house it is a 2 ½ story home. The open floor plan includes the great room, kitchen, and dining area. French doors on either side of a large fireplace step out on to a covered porch leading to the pool and cabana area that has been screened from public view.

The newly constructed master wing on the first floor on the north side of the house has wonderful water views out to the harbor and marshland in the distance. The homeowners essentially can live on the first floor and their grown children and future grandchildren can take over the lower level and still maintain a second floor at the front of the house for the adult guests to use. The carriage house provides additional guest quarters above and it mimics the architecture and the detail of the Greek Revival façade of the original house.
