A wide porch, front-gabled roof and shingled exterior walls with crisp white detailing give this inviting home its Nantucket character. Designed by architect Peter Stoner and completed in 2004, the 4,680-sq.-ft. house replaced a 1951 dwelling original to the site. The transformation gave the 3-level home new systems, beautiful detailing and all the amenities desired for contemporary living. The house is situated on a 7,200-sq.-ft. lot that retains its mature plantings, including a magnificent old cherry tree at the entry.
