In the heart of Nantucket’s Sconset Village, this adorable abode provides an escape from it all. The cottage was built in 1850, and possesses a whimsical beauty that sets it apart from the other sparkling estates for sale on the island.

The two-bedroom retreat exudes charm from every nook and cranny. There’s a window in the kitchen overlooking a study, and beyond, an open-concept living and dining area is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. One of the bedrooms has a screen door that opens to the property’s seaside gardens, which boast both ocean views and a great deal of privacy, thanks to a row of mature hedges.
