49 Orange Street, Nantucket MA

This house was built in 1796 by a descendent of the original Gardner family settlers, and represents a fine example of late 18th century Quaker design. It remains in much its original configuration, and has been held in the same family for the past 7 decades. The property offers 5 bedrooms, 4 fireplaces, original wide pine floors (some nearly 24" wide!!), a butler's pantry, off street parking, and a wonderful location, high on Orange Street, and very close to Main Street shopping and dining. Views of prominent homes on shady Gorham's Court add to the charm of this special Nantucket gem.
