Properties such as 181 Polpis Road, offering a timeless Nantucket setting, are becoming nearly impossible to find. Steeped in the Island's farming history, this 1928 storybook bungalow offers 5 bedrooms and a full staircase leading to an unfinished second floor brimming with potential. The south-facing garden offers a beautiful, protected, and expansive vista of rolling moors and Tupelo trees in the distance. An oversized garage is great for storage, or could be reimagined into an artist’s studio, workshop, or pool cabana. This east end area offers miles of trails, access to Polpis and Wauwinet Harbors, and the scenic Polpis Bike Path connecting directly to 'Sconset Village. Close to the acclaimed Wauwinet House and some of Nantucket’s most pristine beaches, Polpis is perfect for those seeking privacy, an authentic connection to nature, and arguably the most picturesque landscapes in all of Nantucket.

First Floor

Bathed in natural sunlight, the home exudes warmth and character throughout. A generous entry foyer opens to a comfortable living room centered around a wood-burning fireplace. A pass-through connects the living room to the dining area, which flows into a modest, sunlit kitchen. The eat-in kitchen features a bank of windows overlooking the lawn and surrounding natural vistas. To the left of the dining room, two bedrooms share a full bath, while a second hallway off the kitchen leads to another full bath and three additional well-sized bedrooms.

Second Floor

The second floor is unfinished, featuring vaulted ceilings and exposed wood, offering a blank canvas full of potential. A half bath is already in place on this level.
