Nantucket Town House | 6 BDR, Pet-friendly, newly remodeled whaling captain’s house downtown Nantucket!

6 Bedroom House in Nantucket Town, Nantucket

Historic Skyemoor, originally built in 1694, is one of the 50 oldest houses on the island. Built by the Macy family, who arrived on Nantucket with the first settlers, Skyemoor is steeped in island history and culture, played host to Herman Melville and others, as well as served as the home of wealthy Whaling Captains throughout Nantucket’s whaling golden age.
Today, Skyemoor is the perfect family home, having been tastefully and carefully renovated to provide modern conveniences without losing its antique roots. The house sits high up on Main Street, at the head of town and central to all that Nantucket has to offer. Charming shops, fine dining restaurants, and beautiful beaches are all just steps away. Experience Nantucket the way the island is meant to be, with an appreciation for her beauty, a nod to the past, and from the comfort of a welcoming and grand family home.
Floor Plan
First Floor: Living Room, fireplace, dining room with a table for 8 and room for extra seating. A gourmet kitchen with Wolf stove, Miele appliances, an island with seating, and pantry.
One queen bedroom, a hallway full bathroom, and another bedroom with a full bed, a pullout twin bed and ensuite bathroom.
Second Floor: One Queen bedroom overlooks the beautiful back garden. Another bedroom with two twin beds. These two rooms share a full bathroom in the hall, complete with a shower, washer & dryer. A luxurious master bedroom suite has its own soaking tub and shower.
Third Floor: 2 twin trundle beds and an ensuite full bathroom with a shower.
The house has a private garden accessible only to Skyemoor. Skyemoor has an attached cottage that shares a wall with the main house, and runs down the side street of Gardner Avenue. The cottage has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, and depending on the time of year, it can be let along with the main house to provide a total of 9 bedrooms for large groups or families. Most of the time the back cottage is let to respectful island professionals who have limited contact with anyone from the main house, as their entrance is separate.

Summary: This house has it all for families with kids. Great kitchen perfect outdoor spaces with fencing. The location is perfect for walking or strolling your kids into town. Great house! Tons of space and the third floor was perfect for our grandkids! Out only issue was there is ALOT of street noise. It didn’t bother the adults but it woke the babies after 9pm. Buy everything else was amazing! We loved how beautiful the property was and also all the history of staying in an historic home! The property manager was so helpful in every way. This home is well stocked for families!
