Chip Chop on the Block

Chip Chop, the storied Martha's Vineyard home of the late stage actress Katherine Cornell, and most recently of Diane Sawyer and her late husband Mike Nichols, has been listed for sale for $24 million by Wallace & Company Sotheby's International Realty in Edgartown.

Originally known as The Barn, Chip Chop is nestled on 20 acres along Chappaquonsett Road between Vineyard Sound and Lake Tashmoo, and its several white and black-capped chimneys have long been visible to boaters.

As reported in the Vineyard Gazette:

"I'd always hoped I'd find the summer place I wanted, a place where I coould lead a blue jean kind of life. This is it," Ms. Cornell told the Boston Sunday Globe in 1954. The famed actress who had been dubbed the First Lady of the Theatre tended gardens and flocks of chickens on her Vineyard property.
