8 Ash Street offers a rare blend of historic Nantucket character and refined modern luxury. This circa 1765 five bay antique residence was meticulously renovated, and thoughtfully designed for contemporary living. Situated on a quiet and coveted cobblestone street in the heart of Town, the home pairs timeless architectural details with serene, sophisticated interiors inspired by natural light. Exceptional craftsmanship is evident throughout the three floors of living space, with the most recent renovation being executed by Sandcastle Construction. The beautiful outdoor spaces were designed by Jardins International and extend the living experience, with private gardens, mature landscaping, handcrafted stone walls, and an expansive stone patio. The property extends from Ash Street to Ash Lane, with rear access from Ash Lane providing two coveted, side by side off-street parking spots. There are three gated entrances leading directly into the gardens and outdoor entertaining areas from both sides of the property. This is an extraordinary in Town offering.
First Floor
Enter through the formal entry via Ash Street into a welcoming foyer, where two elegant parlors are divided by a central hallway. Both feature multiple windows and great light. One has a relaxed gathering space, while the other features both informal dining and sitting areas, and French doors opening to the covered porch and gardens. A powder room is conveniently located off the main hall. At the rear, is another comfortable sitting room and spacious dining room that opens directly onto the side patio where you can alternate between shade and sunshine on either side of the house. The beautifully appointed custom kitchen features marble countertops, exceptional cabinetry, high-end appliances, a built-in coffee bar, and a wet bar. The outdoor living spaces are equally impressive, with two private, beautifully landscaped garden settings. One is designed for summer dining and entertaining with an outdoor kitchen, a cabana with a wet bar, refrigeration, outdoor shower, and beach-storage room. The second, an replica English garden, is accessible from both Ash Street and Ash Lane. This area offers intimate seating areas surrounded by lush plantings. A covered porch that connects the living room and kitchen is a peaceful space to relax, and completes the home’s seamless indoor-outdoor living experience.
Second Floor
Two separate staircases at the front and rear of the home provide convenient access to the second floor, where four beautifully appointed en-suite bedrooms offer privacy and comfort. The rear staircase leads directly into a guest suite. Two additional bedrooms, each with custom en suite bathrooms, are accessed from the front staircase. The generous primary suite features a fireplace, a spacious walk through closet, and a luxurious bathroom with double vanities, a soaking tub and a separate tiled shower.
Third Floor
The third floor features a charming bedroom with exposed beams and peaks of the water, along with a versatile bonus room that offers several possibilities. A powder room completes this level, along with access to the roof walk that offers spectacular views of Nantucket Sound and the iconic rooftops of downtown Nantucket.
