For the first time in nearly a century, 35 Shell Street is being offered for sale. Originally acquired in 1929, this is a cherished cornerstone of ’Sconset history. Unrivaled in location and scale, this represents a true once-in-a-lifetime legacy opportunity. Commanding an expansive and elevated vantage point with sweeping, unobstructed 180-degree views of the Atlantic Ocean, the estate includes a 10+ bedroom Main House and three-bay garage on a lot with a deep oceanfront lawn. Designed with flawless flow and symmetry, a grand central living room anchors the home, separating two distinct wings. North Wing: Features a dedicated office/mudroom, kitchen, chef's pantry, and formal dining room with expansive views and direct access to the ocean-facing deck. South Wing: Offers a cozy den with a fireplace and a private two-room guest suite complete with its own sitting room and full bath. The dining room, central living area, and den all open directly onto the sweeping ocean-view deck—perfect for al fresco dining or shaded afternoon relaxation. Dual staircases—one in each wing—enhance privacy and provide exceptional internal circulation. The upper floor features nine of the property's 10+ bedrooms, almost all of which are ocean-facing. The Primary Suite: Spans the entire depth of the house to connect the north and south wings, boasting a private dressing area and en-suite bath.
The grounds are an entertainer's dream, defined by the expansive oceanfront lawn and two private, hedge-lined patios beautifully configured for firepits, lawn games, and lounge seating. The property has HDC approval for a pool.
More than just a home, 33 & 35 Shell Street represents an irreplaceable piece of Nantucket’s heritage. Welcome to the ultimate ’Sconset legacy.
(The guest house at 33 Shell street is also available for purchase and can be included in the sale for a combined price of $19,975,000.)
