About This Home

A piece of history tailored for today's living. This exquisitely restored 1824 four-bay home, built by Captain John C. Gardner, invites us to appreciate an antique gem. A rich texture of history blends seamlessly with elevated updates and modern amenities across four finished levels. It's a joy to experience a classic Nantucket house with refined interiors and two-car off-street parking. Of the five bedrooms, three are ensuite plus the option for a fourth. At this sunny corner of Lyon Street, the numerous windows cast light beautifully into the double parlor and bedroom above. Mature privet and arborvitae border the property and the expansive patio features a pergola. Through the arbor and behind the handsome garage shed is a flowering garden that compliments the bluestone sitting area. Sweeping views from the widow's walk.
