Overlooking Nantucket Sound and just steps from the vibrant heart of downtown Oak Bluffs, this distinctive compound blends laid-back West Coast style with classic island charm. The light-filled four-bedroom main house has been thoughtfully updated with modern, year-round comforts. Privately set at the rear, the guest house known as The Nest offers a peaceful retreat with a private deck, outdoor shower, parking, and mini-split climate control; its upstairs bedroom enjoys views from Farm Pond to Nantucket Sound. Completing the property is the charming Lilac House, a fun open-concept bunk house with a full bath, water-view deck, and private outdoor shower. A wraparound porch captures sweeping ocean views, while beaches, shops, restaurants, Circuit Avenue, and the Harbor are moments away. An established rental history further enhances this rare opportunity in one of Oak Bluffs’ most iconic locations.
