Summer may be on its way out, but it’s never a bad time to invest in a beach house or even better, an island home. Located on Nantucket, this classic Colonial set on nearly an acre of rolling green land offers the chance at a sweet summer escape. With its cozy nooks, brick walkway, shingled siding, and arched gateway leading to a lush fenced-in yard, this home is truly the epitome of charm.

Inside this coastal cottage, you’ll find nautical-inspired design with whites and blues intermingled with warm wood accents, for a fresh, yet homey feel. The layout features a mix of open spaces and smaller hideouts, so you can enjoy either the company of friends or get some calming alone time. On the first floor is the heart of the home, with a large open living room with a fireplace. Off this space is an updated kitchen, equipped with sleek minimalist cabinets against a gray backsplash. In the finished basement below is an additional TV room and wood-paneled office space with built-in bookshelves.

When it comes to bedrooms, this home offers a fun twist with a room with built-in bunks in the basement, a feature that’ll be sure to make summer nights spent here memorable. There’s two more bedroom suites on the upper levels as well, including the primary bedroom on the first floor, which boasts vaulted ceilings.

Further special memories can be crafted outside, where the backyard opens up into an outdoor living space. Here, you’ll find a patio for lounging and outdoor dining, plus a hot tub for further relaxation. And there’s a bountiful backyard, thanks to the size of the plot of land, which lends itself well to outdoor games. It (along with the rest of the house) invites you to relax, have fun, and create a summer full of memories, even if you have to wait another season to make them.
