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.
