5 Capaum Pond Road, Nantucket, MA
Property Facts
From its rise above Capaum Pond — near the site of Nantucket's first settlement — this shingled residence looks north over the pond to the open water of Nantucket Sound. Eight en-suite bedrooms span three finished levels, joined by a two-story great room, a granite-and-butcher-block kitchen, and a paneled study. Covered porches on two sides step down to stone-walled gardens, a pergola-shaded dining terrace, and an infinity-edge pool with spa; a roof deck with a fire pit faces the sunset. A separate guest cottage with its own kitchen, den, and bedroom stands beside the circular drive. The lower level adds a theater, bar, and games room. The property is minutes from Town and the north-shore beaches.
First Floor: A covered front porch opens to a foyer and stair hall rising two stories. The living room, anchored by a fireplace, runs the depth of the house and opens to a covered deck; the dining area and the granite-and-butcher-block kitchen sit alongside, with a family room leading to the covered patio and second deck. The primary suite occupies its own wing: a 16-by-22-foot bedroom, a bath of nearly equal size, and a walk-in closet the length of the room. A second en-suite bedroom, a powder room, and a large laundry and mudroom complete the floor. A full single-level life, with the gardens a step away.
Second Floor: The landing overlooks the foyer below and leads to a second family room with its own fireplace, opening through French doors to a 21-by-26-foot balcony facing Capaum Pond and Nantucket Sound. Four bedrooms share the floor, each with a bath of its own, two with walk-in closets, the largest nearly 20 feet deep. Morning light reaches the east rooms; the balcony holds the long north view over the pond to open water.
Basement: The lower level is built for the off-hours of a full house. A 22-by-30-foot recreation room with a wet bar sits at its center, joined by a media room, an exercise room, and a wine cellar. Two further bedrooms with full baths make quiet quarters for guests or staff. Windowed along the garden side, the level lives brighter than the word basement suggests. Additional storage rooms are not counted in the living area.
