5 bd · 6.5 ba

One of Nantucket's most distinguished private residences, 94 Main Street, the Hadwen-Wright House stands as a masterwork of Greek Revival architecture, thoughtfully restored while preserving the extraordinary craftsmanship and character that has defined it for nearly two centuries. Completed in 1847 and designed by renowned builder-architect Frederick Brown Coleman, this iconic landmark has been meticulously stewarded, with modern systems seamlessly integrated to complement its remarkable architectural heritage. Monumental Corinthian columns, soaring ceilings, exceptional millwork, and finely preserved period details reflect the enduring elegance of the home's original design. The magnificent domed ballroom has been thoughtfully transformed into a luxurious primary suite, where every defining architectural detail remains beautifully intact, creating a private retreat unlike any other on Nantucket. Throughout the residence, history is not simply preserved but thoughtfully incorporated into everyday living, from the original brick-lined well displayed beneath structural glass, to the enchanting belvedere, where panoramic views stretch across Nantucket's Historic District toward the harbor. Balancing architectural significance with exceptional livability, 94 Main Street offers gracious formal rooms, inviting gathering spaces, and every modern comfort within one of the island's most celebrated historic homes. A rare offering, it presents the opportunity to become the next steward of a residence whose legacy is matched only by its timeless beauty.
