Renovated 2024, Blocks From the Inner Harbor/ Downtown - King, Twins, Pull out.

Union Street is a one-way street heading into Main Street, Nantucket. Walkable from the ferries and easy to find from the Airport. Two blocks to the bus station and the wharves. You can roll out of bed, drink a cuppa outside on the patio, do some yoga on the grass, and then catch a bus to go anywhere on the island. Stay for a few nights or months, and you will want to be back.

The Barn is located at the end of the shelled driveway. To access the kitchen door, walk to the grass side of The Barn. The electronic pad works well, alleviating the need for keys.

In 2024, a renovation was completed, upgrading almost every space in the Barn—the new flooring to hold space for the new furniture. My favorite is the full-size sofa that pulls out with a blow-up mattress. Or, a marble top round dining table with four armchairs is in the corner.

The clean look comes from the newly skimmed and painted walls and ceiling holding the new lights. The HVAC cools and heats well. The internet is strong for work and play. The television is mounted to link your home apps and streaming platform.

The brand-new kitchen is beautiful. White marble counters flow over the counters with a white farmer's sink and the four-burner stove. The U-shaped kitchen gives enough room for a few workstations. The full fridge is tucked in the corner. White cabinets above and below highlight the gold streaks through the marble. A combination of convection and microwave makes everything easy.

There are five other windows around the great room, and the window over the sink lets in a lot of light. For privacy, the Roman shades come down.

The open floor plan makes this a great room. The sofa, oversized swivel chair, and two reading chairs create a lovely conversational arrangement around a coffee table. Reading lights are strategically placed.

The circular dining table is in the corner behind the couch, looking past the roses to the white-shelled driveway. A full-sized hutch holds games and books, with space for your items. The black iron circular staircase has wooden slats that look like a piece of art and are functional.

The staircase leads to a front parlor with two low seats that convert into futon-type beds. An antique cabinet holds more books and games. The king bedroom has a dresser, side tables, lamps, and a nice closet. The room has an HVAC system.

The twin bedroom has two twins, a bedside table, and a small hutch for personal items. The closet has enough space. Each bedroom has air conditioning and heat. The king and twin bedrooms have lovely light and beautiful art, including the linens.

It is a five-minute walk to Main Street and all of Nantucket's downtown, two blocks to the bus station and the harbor. No one has ever complained.
