Spectacularly reimagined, meticulously renovated, and thoughtfully expanded, this circa-1765 five-bay antique home in the heart of Town has been transformed into a modern masterpiece. Every detail has been carefully considered to achieve a seamless blend of historic character and contemporary luxury, creating a sanctuary that is as timeless as it is exceptional. Thoughtfully designed with an emphasis on natural elements—color, light, and texture—the home blends historic charm with modern tranquility. Every detail showcases pure craftsmanship and attention to detail, brought to life through the collaboration of Coastal Nantucket, Sandcastle Construction, and Jardins International. Positioned on picturesque cobblestone Ash Street, with convenient rear access via Ash Lane, this rare offering is a perfect retreat for those who appreciate exceptional quality and timeless design all in the heart of Town. Access the property from the rear via Ash Lane, where parking for two cars is conveniently provided side by side. From the parking area, enter through a gate that opens to a private side garden, or take the opposite entrance through a charming gated archway, leading to a side patio with expansive Goshen stone and beautifully crafted stone walls, surrounded by lush gardens. Both gardens are bathed in sunlight, offering privacy and stunning landscaping, enhanced by ambient lighting and exquisite stonework. Per ROH zoning, there is just under 500 SF of additional groundcover remaining.

Floor 1: The property’s official front entrance on Ash Street welcomes you with a set of friendship stairs leading to a gracious foyer. The first floor offers twin living rooms flanking a central hallway, each showcasing two cased openings.

One living room is casual and inviting, featuring a large TV and interior windows that overlook a sitting room adjacent to the dining area. The second living room exudes elegance, with a library wall, a dining area, a cozy sitting space, and French doors opening to the side porch with serene garden views. A charming half bath is conveniently located in the main hallway.

The rear of the home includes a sitting room and a spacious dining room with a fireplace, both offering direct access to the rear patio. The custom-designed kitchen boasts exquisite cabinetry, marble countertops, high-end appliances, a built-in coffee bar, a wet bar with an ice maker, and unique, high-end lighting that enhances its sophistication—perfect for the home chef.

Outdoor Living:
One garden features a space for al fresco dining, complete with a cooking area, cabana, built-in cabinetry, wet bar, under-counter refrigeration, and an outdoor shower. Behind the cabana is a utility room for storing beach gear.

The second patio, accessible via a gated entrance on Ash Street and Ash Lane, is surrounded by a lovely, tailored English garden. This enchanting space features comfortable seating areas ideal for entertaining or relaxing. The covered porch, connecting to both the living room and kitchen, adds an additional cozy nook for hosting gatherings or enjoying peaceful moments outdoors.

Floor 2: The home is equipped with both front and rear staircases. The rear stairs lead to a serene bedroom with a fireplace and glimpses of the water. Beyond the bedroom, a hallway connects to a full bath. Further along, accessed via the front stairs, are two cozy Queen bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom and a fireplace for added warmth and charm. The generous primary bedroom, also featuring a fireplace, offers abundant space and comfort, complete with a spacious walk-in closet and a luxurious bathroom that includes a freestanding tub and a separate shower. All four bedrooms on this floor offer on suite bathrooms, custom designed with the most beautiful finishes and executed to perfection.

Floor 3: The third floor is accessed via a staircase in the center of the hallway. At the top, a landing provides access to a half bath, as well as a large roof walk and utility area. The roof walk boasts incredible views of Nantucket Sound and the town's rooftops. On one side of the landing is a cozy bedroom with two twin beds, showcasing exposed beams and offering glimpses of the water. On the opposite side, a flexible space awaits, currently set up as a TV room, but with many possibilities to suit your needs.
