Reclaimed materials and unique design elements throughout the house to brought character and historic appreciation to this rare 1821 5-bedroom, 4-full bath, 3-half bath home in Nantucket, which Stahl dismantled – and had to mark and label each brick, which originally traveled to Nantucket from England to “balance the ship” on the way over.
Up the friendship stairs above Center Street, the house opens to a dramatic two-story cathedral foyer featuring our signature open staircase to above and below. With a nice sightline deep into the house, the foyer also transitions to a warm library den accented with reclaimed beams, antique wood paneling and steel framed glass doors.
The all-season porch has custom oversized sliding glass windows and a wonderful perch above the street. A side door enters to a handsome mudroom with a herringbone brick floor – material reclaimed from the original fireplace. Off of the kitchen is a true walk-in Butler’s pantry with custom cabinetry, small appliance storage and extra fridge & freezer drawers. Opposite the central island is a wet-bar with glass shelves and a long built-in dining bench for the farmhouse dining table. The living room features a central fireplace and cathedral ceiling with rich wood finished walls and french doors to patio.
