Description

Historically known as the “Polpis Schoolhouse”, this outstanding property is privately situated on 3.2 acres located moments to the beach and many trails that lead to over 3,000 acres of Nantucket Conservation Land. The main house has been thoroughly and mindfully renovated, keeping many authentic details throughout the interior. The home offers many custom features including a light filled, open “great room’ with a fireplace, antique wide pine floors, vaulted ceiling, shiplap, built-in bookshelves, storage cabinets and window seating. The original ‘schoolhouse’ study offers three walls of floor to ceiling books shelves and a fireplace; perfect for morning coffee or reading and relaxing. A large screened-in porch looks out towards the rear and side yards; ideal for summer days and cool evenings. The property includes a 5 bedroom IA septic system, a separate two-car garage with storage above, HDC/CONCOM approved plans for a pool and potential for a second dwelling. There is also a separate building which was originally a stable that is now a private office and gym with built-in book shelves, cabinet storage, fireplace and an attached greenhouse. This sophisticated, exquisite and turnkey property has been exceptionally well maintained and is ideal for summer or year round living, offering the best of Nantucket!
