19 Pleasant Street - Moors End

19 Pleasant Street, Nantucket, MA 02554

For generations, Moors End has intrigued those who pass its gated entrance and distinctive ivy-covered brick walls. Prominently situated on Pleasant Street, this landmark estate encompasses approximately 1.06 acres in the heart of Town - an extraordinary expanse within Nantucket’s historic district. Comprising four separate parcels, the estate extends across three streets: the distinguished brick mansion at 19 Pleasant Street; wooden fencing along Candle House Lane leading to the historic carriage house and stable at 9 Candle House Lane; a separate vacant parcel at 11 Candle House Lane of approximately 5,300 square feet; and, along Mill Street, white gates and the cottage at 2 Mill Street. Formal gardens, fountains, mature trees, and multiple points of access create a remarkably private in-town setting.

Constructed between 1829 and 1834 for prominent whaling merchant, mariner, and shipbuilder Jared Coffin, the main residence retains significant architectural details, including a panoramic dining room mural depicting a Nantucket whaling voyage to the Pacific. Meticulously restored and impeccably maintained, the residence pairs its historic character with modern living. The interiors are beautifully updated, while new mechanical systems, a copper roof, and carefully restored balusters, gutters, and architectural details reflect the exceptional level of care throughout.

Rarely does an estate of this scale, privacy, and historic significance become available in the heart of Town. Moors End is a singular Nantucket landmark and an extraordinary opportunity.

First Floor:
The stately front entrance, detailed with a fan-shaped louver, opens to a gracious center foyer with high ceilings and a curved staircase accented by finely carved trim. To the right, the double living room features two fireplaces and a continuous panoramic mural by Stanley Rowland, signed and dated 1926, depicting the journey of Nantucket whaling voyages. To the left, the formal dining room includes a wood-burning fireplace and hand-painted French wallpaper illustrating Captain Cook’s South Sea expeditions. A comfortable sitting room beyond opens to the side porches. The rear wing includes a renovated dine-in kitchen with soapstone countertops and high-end appliances, followed by a spacious family room overlooking the gardens. Both rooms provide direct access to the brick terrace. A powder room completes this level.
Second Floor:
The grand front staircase rises to the bedroom quarters on the second floor. The generously proportioned primary bedroom features a fireplace and three sets of doors opening to a balcony overlooking the gardens. Two full baths serve the primary suite. Two additional spacious bedrooms, each with a fireplace, share a full bath with a shower. A defining feature of this level is the remarkable pumpkin pine library and game room. Built-in bookshelves line every wall, framing a commanding fireplace measuring approximately six feet across. Wide-plank flooring and an adjoining sunroom with views over the grounds further distinguish this memorable space. A secondary staircase at the rear of the house provides convenient access to the library.
Third Floor:
The third floor includes three bedrooms. One has a private bath with a shower, while the remaining two share a renovated hall bath illuminated by a skylight. Stairs continue to the belvedere, where handwritten notes left by sailors and sea captains in the 1800s offer a remarkable connection to the home’s history. From this elevated vantage point, breathtaking views extend over Town toward Nantucket Harbor.
Basement:
The lower level, known as “The Bistro,” is distinguished by exposed brick walls and floors and has served as a memorable setting for garden parties and gatherings. Ground-level access connects directly to the gardens and surrounding grounds. An interior staircase leads to this level, while a secondary staircase provides direct access to the laundry and storage room.
2nd Dwelling:
Formerly the estate’s gardener’s residence, 2 Mill Street was built in 1900 and occupies a separate 5,766-square-foot parcel. The three-bedroom, three-bath cottage is ready for thoughtful renovation.
Other Struct:
The carriage house and stables at 9 Candle House Lane retain remarkable elements of their original use, including the horse stalls and carriage garage, along with a basement and an expansive, open second floor. Adjacent, 11 Candle House Lane is a separate, buildable lot totaling approximately 5,300 square feet.
