A magnificent private
residence in one of Nantucket’s most picturesque, peaceful,
and sought-after locations. Entirely custom-designed and built,
with meticulous attention to quality, craftsmanship, and architectural
detail. An elegant, distinctive and beautifully positioned property.
The setting is as compelling for the natural beauty of the land
as for the panoramic, sweeping, unobstructed views of Nantucket
Sound.
Tucked onto a wide, well-protected knoll, the setting evokes a
perfect feeling of peace, privacy, and tranquility. Views across
the water can be experienced from numerous rooms and outdoor decks,
the guest wing, and, of course, the master suite.
The residence has been designed and finished to perfection, is
beautifully and tastefully appointed, and has been meticulously
well-maintained since completion of construction in 1997. Interior
spaces are warm, comfortable, quiet, and filled with sunlight.
The floor plan provides for an easy, natural flow from level to
level and from room to room; the layout of rooms and interior spaces
was designed to provide for extensive entertaining and accommodation
of summer guests, and to create a quiet, comfortable, highly liveable
year-round residence which would be filled with natural light.
It would be difficult to find a home on Nantucket better suited
to these intentions.
Included is an expansive, custom-designed gourmet kitchen with
vaulted ceiling and a two-room butlers’ pantry, full complement
of gourmet-calibre stainless steel appliances, granite workspaces,
and extensive custom cabinetry. The kitchen itself is a bright,
highly functional and inviting space, with a sweeping view across
Nantucket Sound -- even the butlers’ pantry has been designed
to offer a view of the water.
Just off the kitchen is a large breakfast room, which also overlooks
the Sound and the rear lawn, and offers an outside entrance to the
main deck.
The master wing is a quiet, comfortable, expansive suite of rooms
-- fully separate from the main living areas of the residence. The
master bedroom is beautifully positioned to capture the views of
Nantucket Sound, and has been designed to be comfortable, open,
and filled with natural light. There is an entry foyer, vaulted
ceiling, fireplace, window seats, dressing room, and a sunny custom-designed
tile bath with jacuzzi.
The master wing also includes a private, covered outdoor deck with
a breathtaking view of the water – a perfect place to relax
with coffee and the morning paper, or, perhaps, to spend a quiet
moment before retiring on a star-filled summer night.
In addition to the master wing, the residence includes a substantial,
very comfortable guest wing. The guest wing includes an entry foyer,
large master bedroom with brick fireplace, full marble bath, a charming
second bedroom with full tiled bath, wraparound covered porch, and
a separate entrance. Like the master suite, the guest wing includes
a private covered terrace off the master guest bedroom, with views
across a beautifully kept rear lawn.
The main portion of the residence provides two additional bedrooms
for guests, each with its own full, beautifully tiled bath.
As one might expect, the residence includes several expansive decks
and terraces, and two magnificent covered wraparound porches on
the lower level, each with a southern exposure and beautiful views
across the lawns.
The property includes approximately 2 acres of land, and is well
protected with a deep natural boundary of pine trees to the east,
a grassy meadow to the south which is part of the property, and,
of course, Nantucket Sound to the north.
Grounds have been professionally landscaped, and are beautifully
kept. Lawn areas are level to very gently sloped, and are irrigated
with a custom-designed 14-zone computer controlled underground sprinkler
system. Planting beds are filled with neatly-trimmed shrubbery and
flowers. In the summer, clay pots are placed on the wraparound porches,
and literally overflow with masses of beautiful, brightly colored
flowers.
Originally intended to be used most often during summers on Nantucket,
the residence has also been used frequently during the Fall, Winter,
and Spring, and is well-suited for use as a quiet, comfortable primary
residence. It is, in fact, a perfect place to experience the natural
beauty, tranquility, privacy, and the genteel lifestyle which draw
so many to the island of Nantucket.
This offering represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Nantucket’s
most elegant, distinctive, and beautifully positioned properties.
This residence is also
available for rental to well qualified parties during the summer
season will be considered. In-season rates (June thru September)
range from $25,000 to $35,000 per week. Call for details and availability.
