This beautiful coastal-style family home was designed by Mellowes & Paladino Architects, nestled in the picturesque surroundings of Nantucket, Massachusetts. The main residence within this family estate sets the tone for this property, characterized by its charming New England coastal architectural elements and transitional interior features.

The guest house, a smaller yet equally enchanting structure, mirrors this same coastal aesthetic, ensuring continuity throughout the retreat. The centerpiece of summer gatherings is undoubtedly the pool area, which boasts a cozy lounge area nestled between two pool houses.
