Just off the coast of New England, Nantucket Island has always been a prized vacation destination. On a given summer day the population swells with a steady stream of visitors who flock to the extraordinary beauty and history of Nantucket’s shores, its clear skies, and its southwest breezes. Equally significant is the community of people who live on the island year-round. The offseason brings Nantucket to its essence—the vibrant Autumn, peaceful Winters, followed by the magical sounds and sights of Spring. Amongst this endless beauty lies an opportunity to obtain the William Coffin house.
Built in 1786, and once home to Nantucket’s oldest and prominent families, the William Coffin house has been meticulously maintained and restored. One of the island’s original Gambrel-style homes, the three-level, 3,366 square foot, five bedroom, 5 and one-half bath residence features stunning historic details throughout, scenic harbor views, lovely gardens, a welcoming porch, and ample off-street parking.
Step into this graceful home from the beautiful gardens into a light-filled, elegant entry with gorgeous, stenciled floors. To the left is the home office and to the right is the living room with fireplace. Beyond, you’ll find the cozy dining, family room, and large, fully equipped kitchen with the latest appliances. Ideal for alfresco dining, the rear porch, which spans the length of the house, overlooks the lawn, garden, and private ivy-covered shower (a must-have on beach days). Here the outdoors becomes your living room on warm days.
Back inside, wander up a level and you’ll find the guest rooms. There are four gracious bedrooms. Two with are ensuite and two that share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, ideal for the younger ones. Completing this floor’s amenities are a fireplace, storage area, and laundry facility. The primary bedroom spans the entire third floor. Here you can enjoy the harbor views, dual private bathrooms, a sitting area with kitchenette, and easy access to the widow’s walk, where you can enjoy the watching the sunsets and sailboats glide in the benevolent breeze.
Centrally located, the William Coffin house is an easy stroll to the harbor, beaches, and an eclectic mix of boutiques, restaurant, and art galleries. Whether you are looking for a vacation home, to retire, or relocate, Nantucket Island’s William Coffin house gives you the perfect opportunity to change courses and reset.
32 Union Street, Nantucket, MA 02554 is offered at $5,250,000.
