For the first time in nearly a century, 35 Shell Street is being offered for sale. Originally acquired in 1929, this is a cherished cornerstone of ’Sconset history. Unrivaled in location and scale, this represents a true once-in-a-lifetime legacy opportunity. Commanding an expansive and elevated vantage point with sweeping, unobstructed 180-degree views of the Atlantic Ocean, the estate includes a 6+ bedroom Main House and three-bay garage on a lot with a deep oceanfront lawn. Designed with flawless flow and symmetry, a grand central living room anchors the home, separating two distinct wings. North Wing: Features a dedicated office/mudroom, kitchen, chef's pantry, and formal dining room with expansive views and direct access to the ocean-facing deck. South Wing: Offers a cozy den with a fireplace and a private two-room guest suite complete with its own sitting room and full bath. The dining room, central living area, and den all open directly onto the sweeping ocean-view deck—perfect for al fresco dining or shaded afternoon relaxation. Dual staircases—one in each wing—enhance privacy and provide exceptional internal circulation. The upper floor bedrooms, almost all of which are ocean-facing are comfortably sized for king or two twin beds. The Primary Suite: Spans the entire depth of the house to connect the north and south wings, boasting a private dressing area and en-suite bath.

The grounds are an entertainer's dream, defined by the expansive oceanfront lawn and two private, hedge-lined patios beautifully configured for firepits, lawn games, and lounge seating. The property has HDC approval for a pool.

More than just a home, 33 & 35 Shell Street represents an irreplaceable piece of Nantucket’s heritage. Welcome to the ultimate ’Sconset legacy.

(The guest house at 33 Shell street is also available for purchase and can be included in the sale for a combined price of $19,975,000.)

Floor 1: A spacious covered porch graciously welcomes visitors to this distinguished ’Sconset estate, providing an ideal setting to savor the ocean breeze. Upon entry, one is greeted by a grand living room adorned with original wood paneling, a stately fireplace, and an expansive wall of windows that frame panoramic views of the meticulously maintained grounds and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. The residence is thoughtfully configured into two distinct wings, balancing privacy and refined living. To the left, the North Wing encompasses an office/mudroom which leads to the well-appointed kitchen, a side entrance, a rear staircase ascending to the second floor, a butler’s pantry, and an ocean-facing formal dining room with direct access to the rear deck. The dining area integrates seamlessly with the main living space, fostering an inviting environment for gatherings. Adjacent to the kitchen and pantry is a covered porch featuring built-in storage, ideal for beach equipment. To the right, beyond the living room, the South Wing comprises a tasteful den with a fireplace and a wall of windows oriented eastward toward the ocean. This wing also offers a two-room suite complete with a private bath, a secluded deck with ocean vistas, a full hall bathroom, a private guest entrance, and a staircase to the second floor.

Floor 2: Almost all the second level bedrooms, including a serene primary suite with a private bath, offer water views. The South Wing bedrooms are east-facing windows with water views—two full bathrooms, and a sitting room. Two of the bedrooms have Jack and Jill access to one of the hall baths, providing both comfort and convenience for family and guests. The primary suite uniquely connects to both the North and South wings. The North wing includes three bedrooms and a full hall bath. Staircases in both wings ensure privacy and ease of access throughout the residence.
