Timeless Elegance in Nantucket

Set amidst the serene beauty of Nantucket’s Polpis area, this finely crafted and exquisitely designed home offers an elegant retreat just minutes from Sconset Village and the scenic Polpis Harbor. Surrounded by rolling moors and preserved landscapes, the residence is a sanctuary of tranquility, seamlessly blending sophisticated design with the island’s natural charm.

Inside, the home exudes warmth and refinement, with spacious, light-filled interiors and thoughtfully curated furnishings. The heart of the residence is the open-concept great room, where expansive windows and French doors invite natural light and coastal breezes. Two distinct seating areas flank a stately fireplace, creating a welcoming space for both intimate gatherings and quiet moments of relaxation. The adjoining chef’s kitchen is a showcase of craftsmanship, featuring marble countertops, a Garland six-burner range, and high-end appliances. A large central island with seating for four ensures effortless entertaining, while an adjacent dining area completes the inviting atmosphere.

The main level offers a well-appointed master suite, where French doors open to a private deck overlooking the lush landscape. A spa-like ensuite bath features a soaking tub and walk-in shower, creating a serene retreat. Two additional guest rooms, one with twin beds and the other with a twin-over-full bunk, share a stylishly designed bath. A separate mudroom and laundry area add to the home’s thoughtful functionality.

Upstairs, a loft-style family room serves as a casual retreat with comfortable seating and a flat-screen television. A guest suite with a queen bed and a full bath offers a secluded haven, while a private deck provides a quiet space to enjoy morning coffee or the island’s breathtaking sunsets.

Beyond the home’s elegant interiors, the surrounding landscape offers endless opportunities for exploration. Protected Polpis Harbor, a renowned sailing destination, embodies Nantucket’s timeless coastal beauty. The area’s scenic trails wind through rolling moors, offering a glimpse of the island’s untouched splendor. Whether sailing along the harbor, exploring the historic village of Sconset, or simply enjoying the peace of the home’s private decks, this residence is a place to savor the quiet luxury of Nantucket living.

Wonderful Stay - Beautiful Well Appointed Home

We had such a wonderful stay at “Golden Slumber”. This property, location and host are all wonderful. The house is extremely private, beautiful, and connected to its surroundings. My family genuinely enjoyed our entire stay and were thankful to have had the opportunity to enjoy the island with a home base like this one. One thing that stood out is how well appointed the home is. There is everything you need - which made it feel like our home for the week. We would gladly stay here again! But really, with the doors open, cherry blossoms outside - it is hard to beat! Best house I have stayed at on Nantucket (including some very pricy rentals on the water).”

Stunning Home and Wonderful Host!

We had the most wonderful stay at this breathtaking coastal home in Nantucket. The house was absolutely beautiful, with stunning coastal décor and such a warm, inviting atmosphere that made it feel truly special. Allison was an incredible host. So kind, welcoming, and communicative throughout our stay, making everything seamless from start to finish. It was such a lovely experience to be able to enjoy and appreciate a home so thoughtfully designed and cared for. We would absolutely love to come back again anytime!”

Golden Slumber Success

Our families had a wonderful stay at this special property in Nantucket. The home was welcoming and came equipped with everything you needed for the perfect vacation. Communication with the owner was easy from beginning to end. She was very accomodating and responsive to our questions. We cannot wait to return next year. Thank you for opening Golden Slumber (house name) to us. Big hugs from San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.”
