Completely renovated in 2011 by Cheney Brothers under the direction of Emeritus Development with thoughtful attention to detail. This four bedroom, four bath home is nestled on one of the most charming streets in the historic district of Downtown Nantucket with off street parking for two cars and a tasteful blue stone patio and yard. The house has historical significance not from the whale-ship captain who built it, Obed Swain, but from his wife, Harriet Swain. Harriet was a Petticoat Whaler, one of the few woman who accompanied their husbands on the ship during whaling voyages.

Walk up the stairs of this sunny abode and into a bright welcoming hallway with two closets for ample storage. To the right sits a small powder room. To the left, a cozy parlor with fireplace. Further down the hall sits the dining room on the left. This dining room features exceptional woodwork: gorgeous wood paneling and a coffered ceiling. The end of the hallway opens on the right to a mudroom thoughtfully appointed with a bench seat and shelves for all your summer gear. Through the exterior mudroom door, access the bluestone patio, and off-street parking area. A convenient full bath with shower completes this mudroom. Beyond the mudroom, the space opens into a large living room and kitchen area. Custom built-in shelves flank one wall. Opposite, the room opens into a beautifully decorated kitchen. The kitchen has a large marble island for prepping and relaxing. The Carrera counters, beautiful backsplash, farmhouse sink, wolf stove, and sub-zero refrigerator round out the superb culinary design of this beautiful space. Adjacent to this area is an eat-in dining area complete with a built-in banquette. The remarkable custom herringbone floors unite this space.
