Nantucket Seaside Charmers Worth Moving For

Share News:

Make your way just thirty miles off the coast of Cape Cod and you’ll land in Nantucket. This idyllic vacation spot is only 14 miles long and 3.5 miles wide. But it’s packed with history, beauty, and charm. And we have zeroed in on two of its gems!

Take your pick in this week’s Splurge vs. Steal.

Splurge: Old North Wharf Cottages On Nantucket Harbor To Build Your Family Compound For $10.25M

First up, our splurge. This darling listing on Old North Wharf is for not one, but two picturesque cottages! Hence, the hefty price tag. In fact, it’s a rarity on the island and commands attention as one of the only opportunities to create your own waterfront compound right on Nantucket Harbor. 

Per to the listing, “Nautilus is larger than most wharf cottages with three bedrooms, and two baths, but its most special features are its four boat slips and its neighboring guest cottage Zenas Coffin which has an additional boat slip, making a total of five. Most all of the rooms in these cottages have expansive views of the inner harbor. No other property on this private wharf or on Nantucket offers what is represented here.”

We love its traditional coastal feel and incredible water views. The quirky sea-inspired interiors immediately give you that old Nantucket sailor’s vibe. There are tons of custom accents, from exposed beams to a boat hull ceiling. And the natural light and calming ocean hues are sure to add a certain ambiance throughout. This would make for one incredible family retreat!

Robert Young with William Raveis Nantucket has listed 24 26 Old North Wharf, Nantucket for $10.25 million.

Steal: Naushop Charmer Perfect For Outdoor Entertaining And Gardening For $1.795M

Next, our steal. This three-bedroom, two-full-and-one-half-bath Colonial rests in Naushop on a mature and manicured lot. The five bay Colonial home is a beauty with so much potential for someone with a design eye. You’ll find soaring ceilings, a brick fireplace, and ample windows streaming tons of natural light. 

There is a gourmet kitchen for the chef, an inviting sunroom for the bookworm, and plenty of space to stretch out and entertain. And the best part? It’s close to town amenities and ready for summer with its beautiful brick patio and flower beds.

There is even a white picket fence and picture-perfect garden shed. So much to love in one charming Nantucket steal!
