About this property
Ten min. walk to Downtown. Perfect for families. Aug. 25-29 available.
'Hunky Dory' is a spacious and light-filled fully equipped five bedroom home with decor and furnishings inspired by its history and Nantucket Island. Built in 1841 by mariner Joseph Lewis and recently beautifully renovated, 'Hunky Dory' is situated on a very quiet narrow lane near the working, 18th-century windmill. Located in the downtown historic district, this home is a short walk past sea captains' mansions to the heart of Nantucket town's shops and restaurants. A private enclosed backyard is beautifully landscaped with hydrangeas, lilies, and Roses of Sharon and features an enclosed outdoor hot water shower. The front of the house has hydrangeas, roses and and flowering window boxes. Hunky Dory is as charming outside as it is inside. The home is immaculate and has all hardwood floors, original artwork/photographs and beautiful Claire Murray rugs. Its central location to town and grocery stores, all a 10 minute walk from the house, make it perfect for those who do not need to bring or rent a vehicle. For those who choose to have a vehicle, the seashell driveway provides space for 2 SUVs to park side by side. My home is owner operated and not owned by an impersonal professional management real estate company, so I am available 24/7, as is my on island professional caretaking company.. Unique features are: * FULLY ENCLOSED LARGE GRASS BACKYARD * LARGE BRICK PATIO // 2 LARGE PICNIC TABLES AND CHILD'S PICNIC TABLE * AIR CONDITIONING WINDOW UNITS // CENTRAL HEATING WITH 4 ZONES * FULLY EQUIPPED KITCHEN SEATS 11 KEURIG AND DRIP COFFEE POT AND FILTERS * LARGE DINING ROOM TABLE * OFF STREET PARKING FOR TWO SUV VEHICLES SIDE BY SIDE * LARGE DOUBLE HAMMOCK AND PILLOW * 11 RECLINING BEACH CHAIRS/BEACH UMBRELLA/COOLER * NEW HEMINGWAY MATTRESSES AS OF SEPTEMBER 2023 * PRIVATE ENCLOSED HOT WATER OUTDOOR SHOWER WITH RAIN SHOWERHEAD * WEBER GAS AND WEBER CHARCOAL GRILLS WITH BARBEQUE UTENSILS * HIGH SPEED INTERNET WITH WIRELESS ROUTER * EXPANDED TIER CABLE CHANNELS * 24 HOUR ON CALL ISLAND CARETAKING COMPANY * ALL LINENS INCLUDING BEACHTOWELS PROVIDED AND EXTRA LINENS ON SITE * WASHER/DRYER WITH FRAGRANCE FREE DETERGENT AND OXYCLEAN SUPPLIED// IRON // IRONING BOARDS AND STARCH * VRBO PREMIER PARTNER STATUS REFLECTS HIGH STANDARDS * CLOTHESLINE FOR BATHING SUITS BEHIND SHED // GARDEN HOSE * GAMES/BOOKS/DVD LIBRARY * IN HISTORIC DISTRICT OF NANTUCKET TOWN * SHORT WALK TO DOWNTOWN SHOPS AND RESTAURANTS WITHOUT HASSLE OF TRYING TO FIND PARKING. * SURFSIDE BEACH BIKE PATH AT TOP OF STREET/CISCO AND MADAKET BIKE PATHS 5-10 MINUTE BIKE RIDE FROM HOUSE * "THE WAVE" ISLAND WIDE SHUTTLE STATION IS AN 8 MIN.
