About this property
Nantucket Gem - Private Setting / Edge of Town/1 mile to beach and town
Welcome to the Windham House! This upside down vacation home is casual, comfortable, and is set on a very private, quiet lot with beautiful sunset views. The setting is truly wonderful and idilic, situated off a private dirt road.
The location provides easy access to everything that Nantucket has to offer! Getting around is convenient on foot, bike, car or bus. The home is adjacent to the Madaket Bike path and also close to the local bus (called “The Wave”). It is one mile to the historical downtown area filled with museums, galleries, shops and restaurants. The closest beach is 1.3 miles away (Steps Beach). If you love nature, there are many conservation areas to explore within walking distance. Our favorite for expansive ocean views is Tupancy Links.
The house is a great spot to access Nantucket’s shops and restaurants and is also great for relaxing and taking it slow. A typical day could involve walking to downtown for some shopping, getting sandwiches at Something Natural, choosing a beach for some sun and fun, and then unwinding at home on the upstairs deck to let the fresh ocean air recharge you. Grab a cocktail or a Cisco beer and sit and read your book all day. Bird lovers, keep a lookout for hawks and the many bird species that abound.
The home is an upside down house, which means the main living area is upstairs to take advantage of the setting. The first floor has two bedrooms each with twin beds, a full bathroom, laundry area, and a living room with two futons and a TV. The laundry area has beach towels for 6. Upstairs is the master bedroom with a queen bed, a full bathroom, the kitchen and dining area, living room, and an outdoor deck with seating to enjoy the wonderful scenery. The side deck features a charcoal bbq. The yard is private with plenty of parking and room to have fun and play. Use the outdoor shower and shed with beach chairs and toys. The home is also equipped with a pack-and-play and baby gates for families traveling with children.
We look forward to hosting you at our Nantucket home! Please reach out with any questions.
