When you cross the wide plank floors of 10 Milk, you are walking where over two centuries of history have unfolded. Built in 1788, this house was owned by the legendary Zaccheus Macy, the only person on Nantucket by 1790 who still spoke the Wampanoag (indigenous) language. Carefully preserved in a historically sensitive restoration, this timeless and elegant Federal period residence offers six bedrooms and 5.5 baths and is one of the few intact historic homes in excellent condition featuring original wood floors, interior doors with transom lights and six working fireplaces. Few homes on the Nantucket Preservation Trust Registry are as large or infused with natural light. 10 Milk Street is an authentic treasure exemplifying the wonderful combination of historic elegance and gracious proportions with modern amenities, including central air conditioning. It is just steps from the historic downtown yet borders quaint New Dollar Lane and the open field beyond which gives it a breezy and spacious feel unequaled by most historic homes on Nantucket. Excluded from the sale - dining room chandelier and front door knocker
