If you’re going to launch your own Nantucket-based real estate brokerage firm, you might as well do it with a big, splashy, Architectural Digest worthy compound right on Main Street. Diana Minshall Real Estate brings to market a rare double-lot gem at 126 Main Street — steeped in history and infused with modern luxury.

Over the course of three years, a team of top-tier designers and builders meticulously transformed this home into a bespoke compound, blending an understated elegance (think: coastal white and millwork) with contemporary sophistication via clean lines and eye-catching details (we see you, staircase!) The residence offers five en-suite bedrooms and an additional sleeping loft, making it perfect for hosting guests galore or multi-generational living.

The heart of the home is a chef’s dream — where a stunning Lacanche range and hood serve as both a culinary workhorse and a striking focal point. The range was hand-selected in Burgundy, just one example of the attention to detail that imbues the space.

Spacious living and dining areas invite gatherings both intimate and grand, extending seamlessly to the oversized garden and thoughtfully articulated outdoor spaces. The lower level functions as a fully independent guest suite, complete with two en-suite bedrooms, a kitchenette, and even an outdoor shower for the ultimate island retreat.

With approved plans for landscaping, hardscaping, and approvals for  a 3,000-square-foot guest house, the possibilities for this estate are endless. And its location? Unbeatable. Historic Main Street captures the essence of Nantucket with its charming cobblestone roads, centuries-old architecture, and vibrant boutiques.

On the market for $16,995,000, the sale of the compound is represented by Diana Minshall of Diana Minshall Real Estate, 240-401-7474
