Property Description 37 Sankaty Head Road, Nantucket, MA 02554

Commanding a presence high on the Sconset Bluff, this private family compound is inarguably one of the most stunning properties on Nantucket. Sited so as to enjoy sweeping, unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean, Sesachacha Pond, and Sankaty Light, the 6-acre estate includes a 12,000 square foot main residence, a 2 bedroom guest house, and a water feature. This water feature is unmatched with a fire pit and seating area, surrounded by a wrap around pool. While using these outdoor amenities, enjoy spectacular sunsets and sunrises over the Atlantic Ocean. Originally constructed in 2006 and extensively and thoughtfully renovated in 2024, this legacy property has extraordinary architectural details and exquisite museum-quality finishes. Drawing inspiration from the island’s serene natural color palette, the interior is washed in soothing sandy beiges, coastal grays, and nautical blues, seamlessly blending with the breathtaking seascape to create a tranquil and calming respite. 37 Sankaty Head Road marks an opportunity for a new owner to create their own tradition of exceptional living.

Quiet elegance is the hallmark of this residence. Generously-sized, light-filled rooms feature intricate box trim and coved ceilings, solid panel doors, and exquisitely crafted bespoke details that add dimension and depth. Every element—from the light fixtures to the carefully chosen pops of color—has been selected with reflection and intention.

Lower level

The foyer sets a tone of understated luxury. Oversized windows and multiple sets of French doors from the living and dining areas invite access to the expansive decks and patios, while two large fireplaces offer warmth during chilly late summer evenings. The kitchen, the true heart of the home, features a custom-designed center island, top-of-the-line appliances, and finely crafted cabinetry. Here, ocean views accompany every meal prep, casual meal, or gathering with family and friends. Adjacent to the kitchen, a cozy seating area with a fireplace opens to a spacious stone patio that overlooks the water, perfect for al fresco dining. A fully-equipped California kitchen further facilitates outdoor entertaining. Parallel to the kitchen, a hallway leads to a first-floor guest suite, which boasts a cozy fireplace and a luxurious spa bathroom, complete with a walk-in shower, freestanding soaking tub, and elegant French doors. The first floor also has a powder room and laundry room.

Ascending the grand staircase, illuminated by a striking chandelier, one finds the primary suite—a sanctuary with soaring ceilings that enhance its airy ambiance. An expansive private balcony invites gentle ocean breezes and panoramic views, while the spacious spa bath, featuring a large shower, soaking tub, double vanity, and walk-in closet, complete this serene retreat. Two additional ensuite bedrooms, each with private balconies, provide luxurious accommodations for family or guests.

The lower level extends the home’s living space, offering a well-appointed kitchenette, a gym/dance studio, extensive laundry facilities, additional living space, and two more bedrooms, ideal for hosting guests or extended family. This includes a built in bunk room and a king suite with direct access to the outside. The basement also provides easy access to the utility space and additional storage areas, ensuring that every need is met in this thoughtfully designed lower level.

Area

Siasconset, better known as Sconset, is situated on the eastern coast of the island and is the best spot to catch the first US sunrise. The quiet village will make you feel like you have traveled back in time with most residents preferring to travel around by foot or bike. Beautiful rose covered cottages are quintessential here and are beloved by the residents. Homes range from quaint cottages to large estates depending on the location. Low Beach Road, Ocean Ave and Baxter Road have some of the most coveted Sconset real estate with sweeping Atlantic Ocean views and some private staircases down to the beach.

7.5 miles to Town
Sankaty Golf Club and Nantucket Golf Club, both private, afford members and guests some of the best golf facilities on the east coast.
Siasconset Golf, better known as Skinners, is a public 9 hole course just down Milestone Road.
The Sconset Casino offers beautiful tennis courts and a wonderful event facility that also showcases plays and movies throughout the summer.
The village center features Sconset Market for basic provisions and great ice cream on a hot summer evening. Also here you will find a Post Office (with the exclusive 02564 zip code if you can get a box) as well as Claudettes for breakfast, lunch and take out.
If you are looking for a fabulous dinner, but you don't want to drive to Town, the Chanticleer is the place for you! Featuring french inspired food and a beautiful cottage/garden setting is a must do in the summer.
Down in the Codfish Park area is parking for Sconset Beach and a wonderful playground for the kiddos.
