NANTUCKET TOWN COTTAGE
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Built around 1848, this cottage, located adjacent to the Nantucket Downtown Historic District, showcases all the classic qualities of a Nantucket summer cottage. Its exterior features weathered white cedar shingles and simple trim, enhanced by trellised roses and colorful flower boxes.
The cleverly designed interior feels expansive while maintaining a simple yet refined aesthetic. Traditional white-painted shiplap walls and ceilings contrast beautifully with the dark, wide plank floors in informal spaces. The kitchen and sitting area appear larger thanks to the absence of upper cabinets. The living room exudes an understated formality that suits the small cottage setting. Additionally, an intimate outdoor room, tucked away from the street, serves as a delightful extension of the living space during pleasant weather.
