30 Orange Street, Nantucket MA

A truly extraordinary and spectacular property, "Long Hill", built circa 1831, is the master work of housewright John Nicholson and is a reflection of the significant prosperity experienced during Nantucket's whaling era. With its commanding and prominent location at the crest of Orange Street, this iconic and stately 9 bedroom, 8+ bath mansion is set well off the street's edge behind an impressive mature privet hedge and offers rare and exceptional panoramic views of Nantucket Harbor, Town, Brant Point, and Coatue. The home's grandeur and elegance are evidenced by the richly ornamental and classic architectural details found throughout, including high ceilings, recessed windows, intricate crown moldings and wainscoting, handcrafted fireplace mantels and many other impressive touches. In addition to the exquisite interiors, the outdoor spaces are equally remarkable, including an expansive harbor facing first floor covered veranda, second floor deck, beautiful manicured yard with formal English gardens, perennial flower beds and spectacular views. The property also features an over sized two bay garage with second floor storage area. NOTE: The property is being sold in its entirety but includes a separate buildable lot.
