2 Summer Street

Discover the charm of 2 Summer Street, Nantucket, a meticulously preserved Victorian home radiating with natural light. Located just steps from Main Street and directly across from the Summer Street Church on a tranquil one-way street, this historic residence offers the perfect blend of elegance and convenience. Built in 1852 for the Louis Coffin family, this home has only had three owners throughout its storied history. Boasting exceptional curb appeal, 2 Summer Street features a striking deep blue exterior complemented by classic white shutters and period architectural details. Behind its enchanting facade lies a spacious backyard adorned with mature ivy and evergreen plantings, creating a private oasis. There is also potential for expansion, with remaining ground cover available to extend the living room, kitchen, or even add a first-floor bedroom. Experience the timeless beauty and potential of this Nantucket treasure.
