''Hunky Dory'' is a spacious, fully equipped, and light filled five bedroom home with decor and furnishings inspired by its history and Nantucket Island.

Built by mariner Joseph Lewis and recently beautifully renovated, ''Hunky Dory'' is situated on a very quiet narrow lane a short ten minute walk from the heart of Nantucket town. The house is also a three minute walk to the historic working 18th century Old Mill Windmill. Located in the town's historic district, the home is a short walk past whaling captains' mansions built centuries ago, to shops, restaurants, and Nantucket Harbor.

The private yard is fully enclosed and features a grass lawn, mature landscaping with hydrangeas, lilies, roses of sharon and a fully enclosed hot water outdoor shower. This immaculate home is as charming inside as it is outside. Featuring all hardwood floors, original artwork/ photographs, a kitchen seating 11, and a dining room with plenty of seating, there is plenty of room for inside family meals. Outdoors, two large picnic tables seat 11 people and children at a children's picnic table.

Coveted off street parking allows room for two side by side SUVs, so you can walk to town for meals or ice cream without the stress of trying to secure parking during the busy summer. Downstairs there is a king bedroom and full hallway bathroom. Upstairs is a queen bedroom, two walk through twin bedrooms with a 3/4 bathroom, and a bedroom with a full and twin bed.

The Surfside bike path is at the top of the street, with the Cisco beach/brewery and Madaket bike paths a 7-10 minute bike ride from the house. The house is a ten minute walk to ''The Wave'' depot, where you can catch the inexpensive island wide shuttle.
