Description

Commanding a presence high on the Sconset Bluff, this private family compound is inarguably one of the most stunning properties on Nantucket. Sited so as to enjoy sweeping, unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean, Sesachacha Pond, and Sankaty Light, the 6-acre estate includes a 12,000 square foot main residence, a 2 bedroom guest house, and a water feature. This water feature is unmatched with a fire pit and seating area, surrounded by a wrap around pool. While using these outdoor amenities, enjoy spectacular sunsets and sunrises over the Atlantic Ocean. Originally constructed in 2006 and extensively and thoughtfully renovated in 2024, this legacy property has extraordinary architectural details and exquisite museum-quality finishes. Drawing inspiration from the island’s serene natural color palette, the interior is washed in soothing sandy beiges, coastal grays, and nautical blues, seamlessly blending with the breathtaking seascape to create a tranquil and calming respite. 37 Sankaty Head Road marks an opportunity for a new owner to create their own tradition of exceptional living. Quiet elegance is the hallmark of this residence. Generously-sized, light-filled rooms feature intricate box trim and coved ceilings, solid panel doors, and exquisitely crafted bespoke details that add dimension and depth. Every element—from the light fixtures to the carefully chosen pops of color—has been selected with reflection and intention.
