28 India Street, Nantucket MA

Sitting high above India Street, this Georgian-style home was built in the 1830's for the prosperous whaling Captain David J. Baxter. This stately home exudes the grand elegance of those constructed during the glorious and most prosperous whaling days. These homes are found mostly along our cobbled Main Street, making 28 India a rare exception. The interior boasts high ceilings, spacious rooms (including a first floor living room and double parlor), and many original molding details. Sited on a substantially oversized lot, this property is now priced well for the buyer interested in restoring history to accommodate modern and stylish amenities.
