About this property
Spacious & Historic: Classic Nantucket Home with Large Garden, Charm & Elegance
This classic Nantucket home, located just up the street from the Jared Coffin House in Nantucket town, was built in 1807 by Captain Robert Gardner, Jr. who captained the Chili, a whaler made famous during the War of 1812.
This elegant and spacious 4-bedroom home features a large eat-in kitchen, lovely dining room, comfortable den, living room and powder room on the first floor. Four bedrooms and 2 baths and a central family room on the second floor provide relaxation and privacy. Behind the house is a very large, sunny English garden, filled with butterflies and wildflowers. Reading? Writing? What's your pleasure?
Within biking distance of Jetties and Surfside beaches and located on a quiet tree-lined street 3 blocks from Main St, this is the perfect in-town option for families on the go who want the convenience of shopping in town but also a quiet environment for their Nantucket vacation.
The house is fully up to date with all appliances (electric stove, dishwasher, refrigerator, washer, dryer) and has private outdoor shower.
The second floor includes a large master bedroom with a canopy queen bed, a second bedroom with a double four-poster, a single bedroom with an antique iron bed and a fourth bedroom with two twin beds. In addition, there is a central sitting room with flatscreen TV, chess board and a variety of board games. The second floor also includes two full baths (one with shower, the other with a shower/ tub combination).
We are a no-smoking and unfortunately (due to Lyme), a no pets house.
A lease is required along with a security deposit for all rentals. 10% discounts are offered for stays of 2+ weeks and for all past tenants.
