    Features
    • A, AC, Ins, Irr, OSh, Floor 1: Passing through the beautiful covered front porch on this quintessential Nantucket home, you arrive in the entry hall through the front door flanked on either side by sidelight windows. Through double doors to your right is the cozy den with original wood burning fireplace, complete with oversized window pocket doors to create privacy from the living room. Straight ahead past the stairs to the 2nd level, you enter into the large comfortable living room with large sliding doors and windows and direct access to the deck and pool area. A great wet bar area with amazing lighting, hammered metal sink, and refrigerator and freezer drawers bookends the entrance to the 10 person dining room flanked on both sides by windows; one side looking out to pool and backyard and the other to the front yard. Through the dining room is the great kitchen and family room area with beautiful oversized island and high ceiling with lots of windows and sliding doors out to the pool and deck area. Boasting double SubZero refrigerators, 2 Bosch dishwashers, a 6 burner Wolf range, it also has a separate pantry area with double ovens, appliance pantry and plenty of extra cabinets and storage space. Off the kitchen is the well designed mudroom (the most commonly used entry) with built in seating and special details like outlets at each shelf to setup designated charging stations. A half bathroom is located off the mudroom. On the other end of the first floor, past the main living room is the 1st laundry room and the large first floor bedroom suite with king bed and gorgeous private deck with nice view of the garden. Beautiful fabric wallpaper wraps this room, including the walk-in closet near the entry to the bathroom with double vanity and large walk-in shower. Beautiful hardwood oak floors run throughout the first 2 levels of the house with tasteful shiplap walls, wood shingled roof and copper downspouts. No detail was missed in the design of this incredible home., Floor 2: Ascending the stairway from the front door, which has a custom carpet runner installed, you arrive at the landing for the 2nd floor with 3 ample bedrooms, all en-suite bathrooms with double vanity areas and oversized walk-in showers. The larger principal bedroom on this floor overlooks the pool and has a separate dressing area with great closet space. The bathroom for this bedroom has an extra wide double vanity, a gorgeous oversized soaking tub and an incredible shower space with zero threshold entry, dual shower heads and linear drain.
    • Flooring: Wood/Tile/Carpet
    • Basement: Descending the stairs from the main living room, to the left is a very large owners storage area and utility room, with plenty of room for an abundance of extra linens and any other items you’d like to store away. To the right is the 2nd laundry room, incredibly generous in proportions with a wealth of pantry storage, lots of custom cabinetry, counter space and a washing sink. Continuing on you pass by the powder room, with a fun burst of color that services the downstairs recreation area. Off the main recreation area is a bedroom fitted out as a gymnasium currently, but can be used as the 6th bedroom, complete with window egress, closet and full bath with walk-in shower. The large recreation room with huge comfortable sofa lounge area also has a refreshment station with sink and refrigerator and great storage cabinetry. Passing through the rec room, you transition to a smaller game room/reading nook that’s a nice break away area and finally you come to a very generous bunkroom, complete with custom cabinetry and 2 queen size bunks (4 beds in total) and its own ample sitting area. Past this is the full bath with tub/shower combo that services both the bunkroom and also can be accessed from the stairs directly from the pool area.
