The combination of the grandeur, prime location, and stunning harbor views makes 30 Orange Street truly a rare property. "Long Hill", the stately Federal Style mansion built by John Nicholson in 1831 during the height of the Nantucket Whaling Era, is prominently sited behind an impressive wall of privet featuring beautifully manicured gardens. The house has been lovingly maintained to preserve the historic details throughout this historic gem. The views from the house look up Nantucket Harbor, over to Brant Point Light House, Coatue and the scenic Salt Marshes abutting Monomoy. The views intensify as you travel to each of the three floors of living space, with expansive decks flanking the house's first and second floor. The easily accessible Widow's Walk provides truly panoramic views. This important property is a genuine retreat located in a setting moments from the center of Nantucket Town.
