Built in 1765
Spectacularly reimagined, meticulously renovated, and thoughtfully expanded, this circa-1765 five-bay antique home in the heart of Town has been transformed into a modern masterpiece. Every detail has been carefully considered to achieve a seamless blend of historic character and contemporary luxury, creating a sanctuary that is as timeless as it is exceptional. Thoughtfully designed with an emphasis on natural elements--color, light, and texture--the home blends historic charm with modern tranquility. Every detail showcases pure craftsmanship and attention to detail, brought to life through the collaboration of Coastal Nantucket, Sandcastle Construction, and Jardins International. Positioned on picturesque cobblestone Ash Street, with convenient rear access via Ash Lane, this rare offering is a perfect retreat for those who appreciate exceptional quality and timeless design all in the heart of Town. Access the property from the rear via Ash Lane, where parking for two cars is conveniently provided side by side. From the parking area, enter through a gate that opens to a private side garden, or take the opposite entrance through a charming gated archway, leading to a side patio with expansive Goshen stone and beautifully crafted stone walls, surrounded by lush gardens. Both gardens are bathed in sunlight, offering privacy and stunning landscaping, enhanced by ambient lighting and exquisite stonework. Per ROH zoning, there is just under 500 SF of additional groundcover remaining.
