"En Fin . . ." At Last. There’s nothing more to be said. Finally you’ll possess a house on Nantucket with no equal. Commanding views of the harbor, sunrises over Pocomo and sunsets over Coatue and Tuckernuck beyond. Nearly six acres of privacy. Over 1200 feet of private beach. En Fin belongs to the sky and the sand and the sea. Built like a stately ocean liner with glass everywhere, the house is lit by the sun all day long. On summer’s warmest days, the southwest breeze brings the cool air of the harbor to your house on the bluff. On cool September nights, the Milky Way arcs over the length of the decks, its reflection shimmering in the water below. This is a house to sit quietly in, listening to gulls in the fog and harbor tides lapping at the sand—the faraway island at its tranquil best. En Fin is built for active people, for parties, for dinners with dear friends and generations of family. The house is designed to be inhabited in many ways, with both dramatic public spaces and cozy private nooks. Every detail is an expression of a sure and worldly taste. Craftsmen from both sides of the Atlantic lovingly created roomscapes with extraordinary details—marquetry floors, imaginative cabinetry, soaring staircases, whimsical windows, and flowing living spaces. Built above and beyond ordinary standards of craftsmanship, the house is above and beyond in its power to delight the senses.
First Floor
Enter a grand foyer with open stairs through which the water is immediately viewed via French doors. A partially ensconced dining room seating 12 with lovely, custom built-ins and uncompromising views neighbors a comfortable gathering / bar area with sounds system and similar views. Down two steps of a noticeably unique parquet and inlay floor (designed uniquely to each living space or room) to a main living room with French doors facing both North and East, one finds the primary and most gracious room for entertainment. With raised hearth fireplace and cathedral ceiling, open to the second level, and 7 sets of French doors, this proves to be every bit a host’s and guest’s delight. While very grand in some respects, this room and the house remain understated and elegant at every turn. A large, open, and comfortable eat-in country kitchen with 6 burner gas stove, 2 Miele dishwashers, tile floor, double Thermador oven, double Sub-Zero refrigeration, a butler’s pantry, granite countertops, and high-gloss, enamel-finish custom cabinets rests at the center of house’s activity. The back hall supports an artistically designed Monet motif powder room with pedestal sink, an office / library with water views and second fireplace, two guest rooms with private baths, laundry room with extra freezer, and several hall closets for storage. Access to the basement mechanicals and wine cellar, as well as private spiral stairs to the master bedroom sit at the end of the hall, near the side entrance. Both first floor bedrooms are of ample size and accommodation. 10 foot ceilings carry throughout the first floor area where not cathedraled.
Second Floor
Second floor landing with water views and French doors access a stunning deck. From a strategically situated second hall sitting area one can view all three lighthouses, Sankaty, Great Point, and Brant Point, as well as activity below from the balcony perched above the cathedraled living room. Another two private ensuite guest rooms with stunning views and deck access, as well as a large office with same views and deck access occupy the east side of the house. To the west of the centrally located open air stairway, one finds a pass through area with room for ample exercise equipment and views to work out by. The spacious Master bedroom is perhaps one of the largest rooms in the house and offers room for multiple sitting areas, work spaces, several closets, a commodious bath with separate jetted tub and walk-in, glass-enclosed shower, double sinks, as well as private his and hers water closets. Most second floor areas enjoy water views both north and south.
