About this property

Historic 2 bedroom cottage in the heart of old town Nantucket


Enjoy a privet surround and the garden's southerly orientation define the outdoor living space, offering warm sunshine. Enjoy mornings on the slate terrace, take time out for sunbathing or an afternoon of reading.Evenings offer stargazers a clarity unique to Nantucket. Birds abound.
The first floor plan is open, the furnishings and art collection selected by and for cognoscenti, and the kitchen designed by a serious cook. When day is done, there's a cozy, tucked away, sky lighted, first floor bedroom & adjacent bath offering privacy to a second couple.
The second floor master bedroom suite includes a side room with day bed, foyer, and bath. Certain seasons birds stage themselves for breakfast amid the canopy of branches to the west. The side room also enjoys a westerly view.
Just steps away form the historic 'Three Bricks' on magnificent, elm shaded, upper Main Street; private Howard Court is a short, five minute walk to Town center. Designed for a totally self-indulgent summer idyll, the property is perfectly located, allowing occupants and their guests plenty of flexibility for both at-home or walking distance activities, without the need for a car; though the property does provide off-street parking for one vehicle.
Nantucket, 'one of the most perfectly preserved examples of 19th century architecture in America.' and the once Whaling Capitol of the World pairs its unique history with pristine beaches, fishing & sailing, miles of bicycle & nature trails, absolutely world class restaurants, galleries and distinctive shopping. It's no wonder so many people return year after year.

Host profile image
My husband and I met on the Island in the mid '90’s and have family that live here year round. We are happily raising our family in New Jersey on a small farm. While we enjoy raising and showing Lincoln Sheep we stay busy with all the critters! If we do not get back to your email straight away it is because of the joys of country living.
Please note for security reasons we want to protect you and ourselves from any fraud/scams. We will never ask payment to be wired for that very reason.

Why they chose this property

History, Character and Charm. Seeing this converted carriage shed repurposed into a cottage neatly tucked away, we knew immediately it was exactly what we were hoping for. The side streets of downtown lend themselves to wandering. Just off the beaten path and yet a 7 minute walk to the heart of town.

What makes this property unique

Nestled among the gardens on a quaint shell lane in the historic center of Nantucket Town, this circa 1827/1850 carriage house offers historic charm while providing the comforts of modern amenities and gracious living. It's a real life fairy tale cottage. Some call it magical!
Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall our cottage covers it all.
Daffodil weekend. A Joyful time of year to kick off -springs first kiss- with flowers abound. Truly the daffodil is a marvel of splendor with intricate details. Bartlett farms has a wonderful island display. The beaches are yours for the walking, jogging, or sheer beauty of just watching the waves. This brisk time of year the island is buzzing as the pace quickens, "summers almost here" atmosphere. If your anxious to get away and relax our tucked away cottage is just the spot.
As summer arrives so does the bustle of beach goers. If you are unfamiliar with the island or have been able to enjoy the shores too often to count we are happy to help with activities.
Should fall -Autums last caress- be your retreat time for R&R few spots could be sweeter.
