12 Upper Tawpawshaw Road, Nantucket, MA

Privately nestled at the end of a cul de sac, abutting hundreds of acres of conservation land, laced with walking trails, sits this spectacular family retreat. Exquisitely designed by Shelter 7 and meticulously executed in 2022 by a skilled team of local craftsmen, the 5-bedroom, 6,000 sf property offers the highest quality finish details, state-of-the-art amenities, and wonderful outdoor entertainment spaces, including a 16' x 32' gunite pool, an 8' x 8' spa, and bluestone patio with dining area. The soaring ceiling heights on three finished levels and ample fenestration ensures that the house is brimming with natural light. The generous scale of the bedrooms and the luxurious en suite bathrooms make each bedroom feel like a primary bedroom. While the open concept design lends itself to large gatherings, thoughtful nooks, a quiet den, and a finished basement for recreation allows every guest to find a place within the home for tranquil enjoyment.

First Floor: As you enter the front door, stepping into a light-filled foyer, the custom staircase with a hand-carved oaken handrail ascends and descends to your right. Continuing forward, you are drawn into the spacious living room, punctuated by coffer ceilings, two arch-covered wet bars, and a 55" Samsung art television, flanked on either side by french doors, looking out to the backyard, patio, pool and spa. To the left of the living room is the gourmet kitchen, featuring an 8.5' island with Carrara marble, a Sharp built-in microwave, and four barstools, an Ilve Majestic dual fuel stove with matching marble backsplash and topped with a zinc hood, custom cabinetry, Sub-zero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and walk-in pantry. Directly off the kitchen, and framing the bluestone patio, is the formal dining room. The dining room is accented with grass cloth walls and oak ceiling and features banks of windows on three sides, including french doors to the patio and pool. On the opposite side of the kitchen is the mud room and laundry room, complete with side by side LG washer and dryer, a dog-washing station, bench and cubbies, coat closet and ample custom built-in storage. Just beyond the living room, past the powder room, is a cozy den, ideal for getting away, with a wall of custom built-in shelves and another 55" Samsung art television. The first floor primary bedroom suite is also accessed from the living room, down a short hall, beyond the generous walk-in closet. The primary bedroom, fulfilling the house's U-shaped design, is oriented opposite the dining room, across the bluestone patio, and the combination of the cathedral ceiling and wall of windows fills the room with natural light. The en suite primary bath includes a double vanity, a tile and glass shower, soaking tub with marble deck, and a private water closet.

Second Floor: At the top of the stairs, you arrive at a spacious second floor landing, providing access to a laundry closet with a second set of LG washers and dryers, two bedroom suites, a second floor primary bedroom suite, and a built-in day bed, overlooking the pool. Each of the two bedroom suites feature king beds, custom closets, and en suite baths with large tile and glass showers. The second floor primary bedroom offers a walk-in closet, a primary bath with separate soaking tub, glass shower, and double vanity, and lovely views of the pool and spa.

Basement: The stairs to the lower level deliver you to a small foyer flanked by a wine room with glass door on one side and a storage closet on the other. Just beyond is a large living area, with a 75" flat screen television. To the right, a hallway takes you to a bedroom with four bunks, a bathroom with steam shower, a 6-person sauna, and gym. To the left of the living area is a door and hallway which leads to the mechanical room, a large owner's closet, and basement egress stairs to the driveway.
