1 Pleasant Street, Nantucket MA

In 1837, wealthy whaling merchant William Crosby commissioned Henry Macy to construct a 7,000+/- square foot, seven-bedroom mansion at One Pleasant Street. Now, this magnificent Greek Revival style residence, known as the William Crosby House, is offered for sale and represents an opportunity to acquire one of the island’s finest, most significant buildings. Behind the historic facade are rooms of gracious proportion and grand scale, with plentiful natural light, soaring ceilings, and exquisite craftsmanship. A recent renovation meets the highest standards; great care was taken to respect the historic integrity of the structure and its original design. New systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC), a spectacular new kitchen, new baths, and new flooring were carefully conceived and integrated to make this nineteenth century gem conducive to today’s modern lifestyle. A truly spectacular residence, One Pleasant Street awaits a new owner to enjoy gracious living and entertaining in what is inarguably one of Nantucket’s most iconic buildings.
