    Quintessential Nantucket Retreat: Enchanting 4-Bedroom Home with 2-Bedroom Cottage on expansive grounds in the prestigious Shimmo location. Shimmo Pond Road, where sandy paths wind beneath leafy canopies and Nantucket Harbor beckons, this idyllic estate evokes the timeless charm of a countryside residence. Set on an oversized and private parcel, the beautifully proportioned 4-bedroom main house is accompanied by a delightful 2-bedroom guest cottage, both enveloped by lush gardens and mature trees that create a sense of intimacy and seclusion. Perfectly suited for hosting family and friends or enjoying private retreat spaces, the property offers peace, comfort, and enduring character. Meandering garden paths, sunny terraces, and shady nooks lend a sense of magic, while the thoughtful layout allows for both quiet solitude and welcoming gatherings. Just a stone’s throw from the shimmering waters of Nantucket Harbor and a short drive from the cobblestone streets of Nantucket Town, this rare offering marries countryside calm with coastal refinement. With over 2,000 square feet of allowable ground cover, the possibilities for expansion are plentiful. A true jewel in the heart of one of Nantucket’s most serene and sought-after enclaves.
