Spanning three parcels and perched above the Atlantic, this storied coastal compound includes four dwellings — the grand main house, The Rec Cottage, The Stable, and The Chauffeur’s Cottage — each thoughtfully preserved to honor its early 20th-century origins. Steeped in history, each structure tells a story of summers past and generations gathered. The additional guest cottages provide the rare luxury of privacy and independence, with kitchens and living spaces where family and friends can gather, relax, and entertain — all while enjoying the serenity of their own separate quarters. A true legacy property, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of Nantucket’s most iconic landmark coastal estates. Set on 1.15 acres with sweeping ocean views and lush gardens, One Ocean Avenue offers a rare chance to carry forward a piece of the island’s enduring story.

The living room features a large stone fireplace. To the left, a classic study evokes a bygone era with its quiet elegance. To the right, a formal dining room opens through French doors to a covered veranda overlooking the garden — a perfect setting for long summer lunches and evening gatherings, all with ocean views as the backdrop. A sunroom, bathed in natural light, leads seamlessly to a broad veranda. On the main level, a guest bedroom has a full bath. Beyond the dining room, a thoughtfully designed service wing includes a charming pantry with windows and a coffee bar, a well-appointed kitchen, food pantry, and a sunny breakfast room. There is a powder room, spacious laundry room with dedicated hanging and folding areas, and a functional mudroom. Two original “cabanas” have been thoughtfully updated — nostalgic spaces once used for changing and rinsing off after the beach, still complete with showers. A dedicated storage room completes the floor., Floor 2: An open staircase leads to a spacious landing where you're immediately drawn to the “morning room” — a serene sitting area offering a front-row seat to the endless horizon of the Atlantic. To the left, a private wing includes a guest bedroom with en suite bath and walk-in closet, and a second bedroom with its own bath and a charming dressing room — a space that could easily serve as a third guest bedroom or private retreat. To the right, the primary suite with water views features an expansive dressing room, and a full bath. Down a quiet hallway, two additional bedrooms — once quarters for household staff — have been lovingly transformed into storybook children’s rooms. A full bath serves this area, which is also conveniently accessed by a separate back staircase., Floor 3: The third floor is a sunlit blank slate, waiting to be transformed to suit your vision. With vaulted ceilings, sweeping water views, a full bath, and multiple storage areas, this expansive space offers endless potential. Thoughtful built-ins original to the house and cedar-lined closets add both charm and function. Whether imagined as additional bedrooms, home office, or whimsical playroom, this floor offers the flexibility to evolve with your needs.
