12 Academy Lane • $6,295,000

Step into timeless Nantucket charm at 12 Academy Lane, a beautifully renovated 1843 home steeped in history and thoughtfully modernized for today’s living. Tucked away on one of Nantucket’s oldest registered roads—named for the island’s first academy—this residence offers a rare opportunity to own a part of the island’s storied past. Lovingly maintained by the same family for over 175 years, the home has changed hands only once outside the original lineage. Now, with the major renovations already complete, it’s ready for your personal touch to make it truly your own. Spanning three levels, this four-bedroom, four-and-a-half bath home features en-suite bedrooms, detailed woodwork, and fresh, elevated finishes throughout. Original elements have been carefully preserved, offering a subtle yet striking nod to the home’s historic roots. Located in a peaceful pocket of Town, you’ll enjoy privacy and quiet, while still being just moments away from downtown Nantucket’s vibrant shops, restaurants, and harbor. 12 Academy Lane isn’t just a home—it’s a legacy. Don’t miss the chance to make it yours.

Floor 1: The spacious entryway of the home holds the stairs to the second level and is adjacent to a sitting room, complete with fireplace. As you move further into the space, you are welcomed into a dining room, where one can also access the first of the bedrooms. At the back of the home are two additional entries: a mudroom featuring brick detailing, warm wooden accents, and a half-bath, and on the other side of the house, a doorway to the covered porch and backyard. The final room of the first floor is the open-concept kitchen and living area. Complete with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a feature wall with the original flooring, the room feels spacious while remaining cozy and welcoming.

Floor 2: At the top of the stairs waits a landing area, where the bonus space is accented by an abundance of natural light and a unique glass chandelier. Two en-suite bedrooms occupy this floor, both with ample space and interesting architectural details.

Floor 3: Large open loft inspired space with ample light and full bath. Utilize this space as a sleeping loft or create an office space or library in this unique sunlit space.

Basement: The renovation included digging down roughly four feet in the basement to create a finished lower level. This level of the home features a laundry and storage area, an oversized living area with a built-in bed nook. The fourth bedroom is located in the lower level with a full bathroom and a large closet.
