Great Point Properties
$3,250,000
The contrast of deep, rich, green lawn against the bright whiteness of a shell driveway. The blue sky giving way to rolling, glacial moraines. Native trees, gnarled and shaped by years of wind and island weather. Deer, hawks and rabbits. A gentle breeze and the scent of sea air and pine. This new home at Six Eel Point Road, known as Pheasant Hill, is truly a feast for the senses, providing the discriminating home buyer a quintessential Nantucket experience for summer, or year-round living.
The most attractive feature of this visually stunning property is the location itself. Protected Land Bank land wraps around your new home on two sides and as far as the eye can see to the south, there is conservation land, so it is a certainty that the view you see today is the same view you'll see for decades to come. The expanse of land to the south offers some of the best public walking trails on the island, and the location of this property is minutes form the island's North Shore beaches - a bonus for anyone who cherishes the outdoors.

From Eel Point Road, the view of the
property is obscured by thick black pines and scrub oak and cherry. Only when one turns onto the property's white shell driveway does the impact of the stately edifice become apparent. Set before a circular shell drive and a perfectly manicured lawn, the home projects a feeling of elegance and strength. A second floor balcony with a slight curve to it, sits above. Simple, square columns support the front porch where the main entrance is found. Once inside, to the left of the entrance, is a guest bedroom suite with plenty of light and a large private bath. To the right, is the kitchen and family room area, as well as a dramatic stairway.
This entryway is very much like a breezeway as it leads to a second set of French doors that guide the visitor to a large backyard deck area overlooking the pastoral transition from lawn, to tall grass to thick woods. A second dramatic covered porch with seven more square columns in front, brings you to another entrance - this one leading to a mudroom (a must-have on Nantucket) with an adjacent laundry area.
The kitchen is framed by dark, rich mahogany cabinetry with a long slab of granite as the countertop. In the center is a massive, solid breakfast bar with a frontfacing curved edge and room for four or five. The top is also made of opulent mahogany. Three pendant lighting fixtures above the island and three double-hung sash windows above the sink provide light and a sense of space. As one would expect, this kitchen is appointed with the finest stainless steel, restaurant-grade appliances; a chef would feel right at home here.
Opposite the kitchen is a large, open area suitable as a dining and sitting area. There is a brick Federal-style fireplace surrounded by raised-panel walls painted bright white. The south-facing windows practically coax the sunlight into the room. Further along is the formal living room, which also features great light, raised-panel walls and a second fireplace. Beyond the living room, through the mudroom and laundry area is a full bath and a rustic guest bedroom.
The floors throughout this home are crafted of oak which seems to radiate warmth and character.
At the top of the stairs on the second floor, you'll find yourself in a large, cathedral ceiling sitting area with access to the curved front balcony that provides views of Nantucket Sound. Behind you is a sunny study or home office, set apart by an oversized pocket door. Inside, you'll find walls of windows and a wonderful, broad view of Ram Pasture. The west end of this home features two large bedrooms with cathedral ceilings and two full baths.
At the east end, you'll find the master bedroom suite. This space is wonderfully airy and provides a great view of Sanford Farm. In the master bath, you'll find both a tiled shower and a generous in-set soaking tub placed below a sunny window. The tile work here, and throughout the house, bears the mark of a master craftsman.
This fabulous, new five-bedroom, fourbath home, with spectacular views and plenty of privacy is offered at $3,250,000.
