Island home’s the stuff of dreams

- By miriam Schwartz

Summer is a state of mind — especially with a lush home base on Nantucket.

Tucked into a tranquil neighborho­od minutes from Main Street in Nantucket’s sought-after Historic District, 1 Twin St. is a lavish family compound, on the market for $10,900,000. The expertly renovated circa-1800 antique home offers up close to 5,700 square feet of interior space between multiple dwellings, more than enough room to host friends, extended family and guests.

An ample yard — a rarity for an in-town home — extends the good time to groomed summer gardens and patio space.

High-end craftsmans­hip is on display throughout the primary dwelling, at once paying homage to the home’s historic character with just the right amount of contempora­ry detail so everything feels fresh, inviting and warm.

Paned windows wrap the home, flooding the interior with soft natural light, along with coffered ceilings and millwork throughout that turns each room into a perfect vignette.

While there’s no shortage of inspiring spaces inside the home, notably the fireplaced great room overlookin­g the grounds, the luxe farmhouse-style kitchen is a dream. Topped by a dramatic, wood-beamed cathedral ceiling dotted with clerestory windows, the space is both sophistica­ted and laid back, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or a family brunch.

There are rooms galore across four floors and the additional dwelling for the new owners to use as their needs change throughout the season — extra bedrooms and living spaces for guests, home office space for getting work done, the possibilit­ies are endless.

The sale of the estate is represente­d by J. Brent Tartamella with Fisher Real Estate, 508-901-0191.
