59 Washington Street, Nantucket MA

Overlooking picturesque Nantucket Harbor in a wide-open viewpoint forever protected by beachfront conservation land in the foreground, this exquisite compound built in 2016 is a rare gem offering the best of both worlds as an alluring private oasis right in Town. Taking advantage of its beautiful natural landscape and vista, this casually elegant property provides a four-bedroom main residence and companion cottage placed on either side of the idyllic outdoor living spaces in a layout conducive to relaxation and entertaining. Decks open off both homes, stepping out to the terrace’s gathering area around the fire-pit, next to the infinity-edge spa which adds to the resort feel in the garden setting lined with lush cypress trees, boxwood, and rosa rugosa. Quintessential Nantucket style hallmarks the freshly refined design by Botticelli & Pohl Architects, a Nantucket-based firm whose work has been featured in numerous publications including Architectural Digest, and the craftsmanship by Cottage + Castle reflects the same high standards and attention to detail. Altogether, there is 3,400± square feet of living space including five bedrooms, five baths, and a powder room. Cerused oak floors, clean-lined cabinetry, and classic tongue-and-groove and shiplap paneling are signature elements of the interiors.
