A Century on Nantucket: 100 Years on Cliff Road

07/31/2025

Cliff Cottage, originally built in 1842 for Peter Folger—a poet and interpreter of the American Indian language for the first settlers of Nantucket—has recently been renovated to provide modern amenities while preserving the historical integrity of this charming home. Nestled in the heart of Nantucket’s desirable Cliff Road area, 18 Cliff Road stands as a classic Greek Revival home, differentiating itself from its neighbors. Its classic proportions, original architectural details, and prime location along one of the island’s most desirable corridors make it a rare and timeless property.
