This authentic summer house has been beautifully enhanced for the 21st century in 2021 with its Rustic-Luxe interior & new expansive cabana-deck on Hulbert Avenue featuring a gas fire pit and an extra large custom outdoor shower. Fabulous for families, there’s a stunning secret sandy beach only 100’ across the street, down our right-of-way path to swim, picnic, SUP & sail. Community Tennis & Sailing at the Jetties Beach is a short 5 minute walk down our beach. Walking to Town takes 15 minutes. Views of Great Point Lighthouse from the front deck sectional, and water views from 4 of the bedrooms upstairs at this preferred spot on Brant Point.

Dog friendly; work-from-home option in the first floor primary suite which can be closed off from the rest of the house and overlooks gardens designed by The Sconset Gardener out of all 3 sides of its windows. Parking for 4 in the courtyard driveway on Hulbert.
The space
“Gray Goose” is a house that lends itself equally well to 3 couples and their children; multi-generational holidays; or to enjoy bubbles with your friends’. It's cozy enough for a spontaneous romantic weekend on an Island. The location is Nantucket’s best for summer and the shoulder seasons as it’s a quick walk to town but out of the fray down on Brant Point with views of and access to the harbor entrance and stunning beach! A marvelous timeless home with modern updates like Dyson fans, all new stainless steel appliances, plumbing and electrical.

•Chef-equipped fabulous summer house kitchen with all new stainless steel appliances, Vitamix, ice cream maker, Sonos and a separate bar area for your cocktails.
•Truly charming, screen-lined porch off the kitchen.
The Dining Room:
•Red lacquer dining table seats 12 ~~ Ambassadors, vintners, sea captains, Harvard professors, interior decorators, chefs, fishing champions, writers and old salts alike have all enjoyed breaking bread around this table for over 10 decades (and a very famous movie actress had one of her weddings at Gray Goose!)

•New expansive cabana-deck on Hulbert Avenue side with large teak dining table.
•Mahogany deck and professional gardens enclosed by tall privet on Walsh Street side in the back.
•Beautiful secluded patio off the master suite, replete with the Outdoor Shower.

The Living Room:
•One of the original “Nantucket Rooms”— It is as appealing in the shoulder seasons after a day of golfing or fishing or shopping, as it is with the Nantucket air blowing through the screens. Burnished depth of Nantucket history and comfort. New 65” Frame TV with Sonos and high speed Internet which allow you to get into your groove the moment you arrive.
The Sun Porch:

Brant Point is one of the most sought-after areas on Nantucket to spend a summer vacation. Much of this gorgeous corner of Town is on the water or a very short walk to it. Brant Point is situated on Nantucket Harbor, an ideal location to watch the ferry boats and sailing yachts pass by. The quiet and flat streets of Brant Point are perfect for leisurely bike rides or a walk with the kids, before or after a day at the beach. White picket fences, lush green hedges, and vibrant flower gardens provide the backdrop where you will experience soft ocean breezes and unparalleled harbor views.
Attractions
Brant Point Lighhouse, the second lighthouse established in all of colonial America, sits at the entrance to the harbor and provides a lovely spot for picnicking, fishing, or lounging in the sun. Spectacular sunrises and sunsets can also be viewed from the lighthouse.
The center of Town is a short walk, home to world class shopping, museums, entertainment, nightlife, and many fabulous restaurants. On a rainy day, stop by the Whaling Museum to catch a glimpse of the island’s rich maritime history, or pop into the Dreamland for a movie or concert.
Beaches
Children’s Beach is a small beach around the corner from the the White Elephant Hotel. A perfect spot for small children as it has a park, playground and a snack bar. Just to the west are the calm waters of Jetties Beach. This family beach has changing rooms, bathrooms, beach chair rentals and their Sandbar restaurant that offers a beachfront casual dining experience.
Restaurants
In addition to the Sandbar, other restaurants within the neighborhood are the upscale Galley Beach (known for watching the sunset at their beach lounge), Brant Point Grill (located in the White Elephant Hotel), Breeze Restaurant (located in the Nantucket Hotel) and the uber swanky and chic Lola 41 known for their creative sushi menu and truffle fries.
Events
Independence Day and Boston Pops fireworks displays can be enjoyed from the deck or yard of your Brant Point vacation home, or set up a blanket on the beach and bring your favorite picnic treats. In August, Brant Point is the prime location to watch the Nantucket Race Week regattas. Relax on the beach while watching the Hobie, International One Design, Open Laser Regattas, Opera House Cup, and of course the beloved Rainbow Fleet Parade.
