Waterfront & Water-view Nantucket Homes

Waterfront & Water-view Properties Sold by Bernadette Meyer

Nantucket's relationship with the water shapes some of the island's most distinctive residential properties, from homes with direct ocean or pond frontage to those offering views across its harbors, beaches, and coastal landscapes.

Waterfront and water-view properties offer different experiences of island living. Direct frontage creates a particular connection to the shoreline, while water views can contribute significantly to a home's setting and appeal. Both require an understanding of location, orientation, and the characteristics that distinguish one property from another.

This collection presents selected waterfront and water-view properties I have represented, including two with direct waterfront frontage. The completed transactions illustrate a range of coastal settings, property characteristics, and sale outcomes across Nantucket.

247 Polpis Road in Polpis, Nantucket

Water Views · Harbor · Polpis

247 Polpis Road

On 4.26 acres surrounded by conservation land, 247 Polpis Road offered two residences, each with its own heated pool. The main house's vaulted living room and multiple decks opened toward harbor views, with the primary suite also positioned to take in the water. The second home provided independent accommodation for family or guests rather than simply additional bedrooms under one roof. That combination of separation, shared grounds and coastal outlook distinguished the compound from a conventional single-residence property.

31 Flintlock Road in Tom Nevers, Nantucket

Water Views · Distant Ocean · Tom Nevers

31 Flintlock Road

After an earlier listing had remained unsold since August 2024, Bernadette Meyer was brought in to take a fresh approach to this Tom Nevers property. Recognizing the appeal of its natural light and distant ocean views, she arranged for carpeting to be removed, thorough cleaning of the home and windows, and new photography, including aerial and twilight images that took advantage of the winter landscape. An in-ground pool and water views from the second floor offered additional lifestyle appeal beyond the home’s refreshed presentation. The property was relaunched at $2,695,000, reduced from its previous $2,975,000 asking price. Approximately four months later, it sold for $2,595,000, achieving 96.3% of the revised asking price. The transaction documents a coordinated approach to preparation, visual presentation and pricing following an unsuccessful earlier listing.

37 Cliff Road

At 37 Cliff Road, proximity to Town and Steps Beach was paired with accommodation that could serve family and guests separately. A guest suite above the attached two-car garage complemented the main residence, while a roof walk provided an elevated outlook toward the water. The first-floor bedroom and connected living areas offered additional flexibility for different household arrangements. Together, the independent guest space, nearby beach and elevated views gave the property more dimensions than its Cliff Road address alone.
