Rental Property Information

First Floor Description

Time & Place Homes has done it again? converting a 6,500 square foot structure into perhaps the most unique in-town estate on Nantucket. Just a 3-minute walk to American Seasons Restaurant, this Cliff Road residence is extraordinarily private, commencing with the 100 foot long Belgian block and manicured grass entry drive. Opening to a charming courtyard of antique stone and lush landscaping, the guests are struck by two rather non-Nantucket architectural treasures: a Provence-style entry and extra wide carriage house doors, which preview this estate?s views and backyard?the lush, lovely, and very private 5-acre Coffin Park. This estate is perfect for those who seek a sophisticated in-town residence but also desire the ability to entertain and house many family and friends in a gracious yet relaxed manner. Main House Pausing in the entry motor court, the first-time visitor will be captivated by the grandeur of the two-story, light-filled entry foyer, as well as the two guest wings (imbedded in the main house) that flank the motor court. Beyond the West Wing lie the manicured lawn, pool, spa, as well as the lush herb and cutting gardens. Main Floor Beyond the elegant two-story staircase is the 25 foot first floor art gallery (featuring the owner?s collection of English and French architectural prints). The entry to the family room is framed by stunning 8 foot pine filials. The family room, with its 42 inch plasma television, Stereo Surround Sound system, and half bath, is the ideal entertainment area for adults and kids alike. Looking through the large media/family room is the enchanting loggia with framed views of the very private Coffin Park beyond. Ascending the elegant light-filled staircase to the landing on the second floor, guests have the option of going north to the exterior balcony, where you can welcome other guests in the motor court below or into the estates Great Room. The Great Rooms French doors enjoy a beautifully framed view of Coffin Park, and this home allows guests direct access to the park for romantic morning or sunset strolls. The Great Room has dramatic cathedral ceilings, a handsome floor to ceiling fireplace, and beautiful heart of pine flooring. Flanked on three sides by balconies, it truly is light-filled. Decorated in linen, turquoise, and butternut yellow, this relaxing space includes its own 42 inch Plasma television, stereo, and Stereo Surround Sound system. Dining Area-Behind the Living Room area and in front of the raised kitchen is the dining area?positioned in the casual Nantucket style with a large pine table and eight chairs, allowing dinner guests viewing options of the large fireplace as well as glorious views through the French doors of Coffin Park. The Dining Area is easily serviced by the kitchen and it is envisioned that there will be many wonderful family dinners here. This is a serious kitchen for a serious cook?and yet one that is also conducive to fun gatherings of family and friends. Anchored by a large Viking range and oversized Sub-Zero refrigerator, as well as two Waterworks sinks and 3 Fischer-Paykel dishwashers, this kitchen also boasts two large islands that are perfect for prep work or as eat-in dining areas. There is ample storage space and the large kitchen opens beautifully to one of the two large rear balconies, which make delightful outdoor dining areas. The designated chef will be able to enjoy the company of many in the light-filled, cathedral-ceiling kitchen as well as participate in the conversations that may be on going in the adjacent Great Room and the loft game room above the kitchen. Behind the kitchen is a private powder room for the use of dinner guests. Adjacent to the kitchen is a small but handsome library with wet bar and cozy sitting area. It is perfect for that intimate pre-dinner gathering, or it can also function as the study for the adjacent Master Bedroom. It also has French doors opening to a balcony with views of Coffin Park. This Master Suite has it all?connecting private study, fireplace, and private balcony with park views, as well as a large walk-in closet, laundry, and luxurious master bath. Decorated in soothing tones of taupe and white, it is elegant and restful?all done in signature Time & Place style. This is voluminous space and one may open the windows and ample French doors to enjoy and abundance of light and those delightful Nantucket breezes?or one may make it cozy and warm on those cool Nantucket nights in front of the fireplace. There is an area for sitting with a great book just in front of the balcony?s French doors, as well as seating on the balcony with one?s morning coffee or perhaps evening cocktail. Practicality has been a careful consideration as well. There is a 42? plasma television over the fireplace, and across from the King-sized, computer-enhanced bed, a large walk-in closet, complete with the Master?s own stacked washer/dryer unit. In addition, there is a small separate dressing area next to the Master bath. The Master bath?all Waterworks, of course, has two sinks, a separate WC, and a multi-spray, oversized shower that allows for plenty of natural light. Third Floor Loft/Widow?s Walk A fun and pleasant surprise is the unique loft area above the kitchen. This is a great area for children to be playing table games or being part of the adult crowd without being under-foot. It has dramatic lighting, which up lights the handsome beams and carries through the theme of soaring ceilings from the adjacent Great Room and kitchen. One can access the large widow?s walk from this loft area, and from that widow?s walk one can partake in amazing views of the Town spires and the harbor and Nantucket Sound beyond. The East Wing Cottage (also Provence in style) houses one of three Master Suites (two of which are on the first floor). One approaches this cottage through a lovely rose and lavender garden set in Belgian stone and adjacent to the motor court. The entry foyer sets the tone with pickled bead board and displays a lovely collection of hand-painted French botanicals. To the left is the cottage?s living room with raised fire hearth fireplace, light pickled pine walls, and heart of pine floors. Opening onto this living room is a galley kitchen and food-prep island. Over the fireplace is a 42 inch plasma T.V. supplemented by a stereo surround sound system. Completing the charming space is a ¾ Waterworks bath (with park views) and loft sleeping quarters (with a full-sized bed---younger ones will love climbing the ladder!). Decorated in fresh, crisp tones of linen, pink, and Kittery green, this living area ties in with the French botanical and Provence-style theme. Practicality has not been overlooked, however, with the Queen hide-a-bed and drop leaf trestle table, anticipating that a family with young children could host as many as six guests in this cottage and, similarly, serve six for dinner from your own kitchen. Flanking the East Wing cottage entry foyer is the master bedroom and bath, decorated in subtle, relaxing tones of linen and celadon with a lovely splash of color here and there. This matching pair of French armoires flanks an inviting window seat. The Queen bed has a state-of-the-art computer program system to assure an incredible night?s sleep. The Waterworks bath carries through the linen and celadon theme, and its glass slower also enjoys Coffin Park views. The adjacent guest wing is entered through the charming porte cochere and includes a family/media room complete with two bedrooms (one with twin beds and the other with a Queen bed), two baths, and its own laundry. The guest wing was designed to easily accommodate as many as six adults, but can also be used by two couples (each enjoying a private en-suite bath) who share a common and private entertaining space. West Guest Wing The West Wing Cottage (or Pool House) is accessed through the art gallery and is consistent with all three Master Suites, as West Wing also has its own living room, kitchen, and laundry, as well as luxurious Master bedroom (with Queen-sized bed) and bath. This suite, too, enjoys multiple French doors opening to a landscaped patio and the pool and spa and cutting gardens beyond. Decorated in vibrant variations of aqua, hot pink, and cream, this Pool House Suite beckons guests to entertain poolside or retreat into their own private oasis. Exterior Features Guests will certainly enjoy the privacy and security afforded by this secluded In-Town Estate?and yet will be just steps to the finest restaurants and shops Nantucket has to offer. In addition, the beautiful gardens and mature plantings afford another layer of privacy. The alluring lap pool and 8-person spa (complete with dual cascading waterfalls) are enhanced by the dramatic pool side mahogany deck?perfect for casual or elegant dining. There is also a raised terrace overlooking the pool with picture frame views of Coffin Park. Tucked off of the street with amazing views of Conservation Land.
