Located just moments from the heart of downtown Nantucket, 21.5 Hussey Street—known as “Watercolors”—offers the rare combination of historic charm and modern luxury. This stunning in-town Nantucket property blends the timeless character of the island’s architectural heritage with the comfort, efficiency, and craftsmanship of contemporary construction. Spanning four beautifully designed levels, Watercolors features five ensuite bedrooms, a bright and open floor plan, and multiple indoor and outdoor living spaces ideal for entertaining or relaxing. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated to create a seamless flow between historic authenticity and modern convenience. Step outside to experience one of the few plunge pools in downtown Nantucket—a private, resort-style oasis rarely found within the island’s historic district. Reimagined by the Nantucket Art House Team, 21.5 Hussey Street is more than a home; it’s a one-of-a-kind retreat designed for connection, comfort, and unforgettable island living.

First Floor

Stepping through the front entry, guests are welcomed by a gracious staircase and an inviting formal living room centered on a gas fireplace. Just beyond, a custom wet bar provides a seamless transition to the formal dining room—perfectly scaled for intimate dinners or festive gatherings. Also on this level is a versatile bedroom suite that easily serves as a den or private study, complemented by an adjacent full bath that doubles as a powder room. The state-of-the-art kitchen offers a generous workspace with a substantial island, Thermador appliances, and sleek European cabinetry, opening directly into a dramatic secondary living space. Vaulted ceilings, a second gas fireplace, and French doors leading to a sun-drenched patio create a natural flow between indoors and out. Outside, a private side patio offers a rare retreat in the heart of town. The professionally designed and meticulously maintained landscape features a bluestone patio and hand-crafted stone walls that frame a pebble-tech plunge pool and spa. A direct-plumbed built-in grill, outdoor shower, and lush garden complete the setting—creating a resort-like environment ideal for both relaxation and entertaining. The property is serviced by a whole house generator.

Second Floor

The second floor is anchored by an expansive primary suite with a spacious ensuite bath featuring a glass-enclosed shower and double vanities and a generous closet. This level offers a dedicated laundry room. Down the hall, a guest suite includes a tub-shower combination, while a third ensuite bedroom, also accessed by a rear stair, is distinguished by vaulted ceilings that amplify light and volume.
