Easy living in Cisco
The Maury People $4,250,000
What could be more perfect than a simple-but-elegant house suited to all the needs of summer living, where you can see, hear and smell the ocean and walk out of the door, down a path directly to the most soughtafter beach on the island? The house at 11 Mattapoisett Ave. in Cisco meets all those requirements for perfection, beckoning you with its location, and comfort.
At the end of a shell-covered lane, adjacent to a large plot owned by the Nantucket Islands Land Bank, designed for easy living and easy maintenance, you access it through a door which is right next to the outdoor shower.
Once inside, you find yourself in a large entry which doubles as a mud room. A good-sized laundry room, with a sink and cabinets, is to one side and storage closets are along the other side. You immediately realize that this is one of Nantucket's ubiquitous upside-down houses and before going upstairs to the living area, you explore the four bedrooms ahead of you.
One, the master bedroom, with full bath and its own access to the outdoors, features a brick, wood-burning fireplace. Another bedroom, with a full bath with shower, is huge; large enough for two bunk beds and a whole slumber party besides. A door leads to the front deck from this room and alternative uses of the space would be as a playroom or family room. Two more large bedrooms share a third full bath.
At the top of the stairs, you immediately realize why the house is upside down. The views of the ocean and of the conservation land are spectacular!
The living room area is to your right. Other than the views, the fieldstone, wood burning fireplace is the centerpiece but, actually, there is enough space to have two separate seating areas, one more formal and the other perfect for games or curling up with a book.
You step out through the French doors to the deck which crosses the entire front of the house. You pause for a moment, because as the ocean fills your senses with all of its splendor, you really do think you may have found paradise.
Going back inside, the dining area is to the left of the stairs. Beyond it, through another pair of French doors, is an arm of the deck that extends around the house and is large enough to serve as an outdoor dining room. Imagine those summer evenings …
Behind the dining area, the black granite counters of the kitchen beckon. They impart a surprising warmth to the space which has a large island with a bar sink and extensive counter space and cabinets. The large stainless refrigerator and the six burner stove and a number of other important features insure that the kitchen has sufficient capacity for entertaining or providing for many hungry people back from a day at the beach.
The rear hall takes you to another full bath and then to the den/bedroom which extends across half of the length of the house.
The house has a partial utility basement. Forced air heat allows you to enjoy your Nantucket house as much in the off-season as in the summer. It would also make air conditioning the house quite easy if the ocean breezes aren't enough to keep you cool.
This four bedroom, four bath house in one of Nantucket's most desirable beach locations, close to the farm and the golf course and with all the comfort and amenities one could want in a beach house, is
offered for $4,250,000. I
