"The Wheelhouse" Historic Nantucket Family Summer Beach House Nantucket, Massachusetts Vacation Rental by Owner Listing 59172
Location: Nantucket, Nantucket Island, Massachusetts, USA
Accommodations: Summer Beach Home, 4 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 2.5+ Baths (Sleeps 8-10)
In one family for four generations, The Wheelhouse is a classic, three-story, four-bedroom, two and a half-bath, Nantucket home on The Cliff overlooking the harbor entrance with views toward Great Point.
Picnics, beachcombing, and sunny days at Steps Beach, a two-minute walk away; touch football in the fenced grassy "circle" across the street; sunset-hour cocktails on the wrap-around wicker porch watching ferries leaving for the Cape and private yachts heading for the marina; feasts in a dining room that seats 12, and games in the living room are family traditions in this historic summer house.
Antiques including a six-foot diameter ship's wheel, a claw-foot tub in the attic bathroom, and outdoor shower, and big family kitchen complete the home located on Lincoln Circle. There is a large yard with off-street parking for several cars in a high-end neighborhood away from the in-town hubbub.
Walk or bike to public tennis courts, fishing, windsurfing, and kayaking at Jetties Beach and Brant Point, or to shopping and dining in Nantucket Town. It is an easy drive to the airport, supermarket, south shore beaches, golf courses, Siasconset, and the eastern side of the island.
