Steeped in the Island's farming history, this 1928 storybook bungalow offers 5 bedrooms and a full staircase leading to an unfinished second floor brimming with potential. The south-facing garden offers a beautiful, protected, and expansive vista of rolling moors and Tupelo trees in the distance. An oversized garage is great for storage, or could be reimagined into an artist’s studio, workshop, or pool cabana. This east end area offers miles of trails, access to Polpis and Wauwinet Harbors, and the scenic Polpis Bike Path connecting directly to 'Sconset Village. Close to the acclaimed Wauwinet House and some of Nantucket’s most pristine beaches, Polpis is perfect for those seeking privacy, an authentic connection to nature, and arguably the most picturesque landscapes in all of Nantucket.
