What's special

Classic wood-burning fireplacePrivate shell-lined drivewayCathedral ceilingsWarm pine flooringInviting light-filled layout

Located just moments from Main Street, this Nantucket retreat is tucked away down a private, shell-lined driveway in the heart of the Historic District. The residence balances a prime Town location with a sense of secluded tranquility. The interior offers an inviting, light-filled layout centered around a classic wood-burning fireplace. The open kitchen and dining area—defined by cathedral ceilings and warm pine flooring—flows seamlessly into the outdoors. Here, a private brick patio enveloped by lush gardens serves as a serene sanctuary for morning coffee or evening relaxation. Situated a short distance from the peaceful Lily Pond, the home currently features two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Whether used as a cozy pied-à-terre or expanded with the property’s remaining ground cover, this offering is a rare opportunity to reimagine a quintessential island escape.
