Island summer vibe’s built in

- By miriam Schwartz

This is it, unofficial summer’s last official weekend — why not escape to Nantucket to a magical, shinglecla­d charmer set on a tranquil, tree-lined half-acre?

Ensconced in one of Nantucket’s highly sought after neighborho­ods, 30 Somerset Lane boasts proximity to the island’s most desirable spots, including Bartlett’s Farm, the Miacomet Golf Club, and sparkling south shore beaches.

It’s a setup for the perfect summer day. The home’s new owners — and their lucky guests — can explore seaside trails as the sun rises, hit a round or two of golf, catch a sunset at Cisco Beach, and end the day with a moonlit al fresco meal in the home’s generous yard. Is there a wood-burning fire pit? You already know!

Built with a weathered patina that fits right in with Nantucket’s laid-back aesthetic, the home is not even two decades old, so it’s roomy and comfortabl­e. Just under 1,900 square feet and two levels, the main house features warm wood detailing throughout, cathedral ceilings, and windows galore to let the sun stream in as the day turns.

An open-concept kitchen and living room area serves as an intimate gathering space with a wood-burning fireplace. Sliding barn doors open to an adorable den off the living room so you can make room for a crowd or add a sleeping nook for impromptu guests.

And ditto for the home’s attached garage with workshop, which can be revamped to add even more living space.

Outdoor living is encouraged here, with covered porches, a dining area, and a flat, low-maintenanc­e yard.

The property is on the market for $1,850,000. The sale is represente­d by Jennifer Shalley Allen with Fisher Real Estate, 508-332-0568.
