The-Sheiling-Cottage-Nantucket

This 1880 Sconset house is across the street from the beach, and is just minutes from the center of Main Street. 

In addition to the classic detail-rich interior, what I love about it is the understated exterior.  It looks like a charming small cottage.  But actually, it is a fairly large house on four acres, with a gunite pool, a variety of gardens, oversized two-car garage (with potting area downstairs and studio above), guest house, and a “bunk house.”

Both the main house and guest house look out to the ocean.  There are seven bedrooms and seven baths with three half baths in total.

This property was put on the market in April 2015.  The asking price is $21.5 million.  For details and many more photographs, visit Jeffrey Lee, of Lee Real Estate.


All photos this page are of the main cottage, “The Sheiling”, which is the house pictured above and below, closest to the ocean.
