4 Gay Street • $8,500,000

Tucked between the pulse of downtown and the calm of a neighboring park, 4 Gay Street is a rare in-town jewel that pairs historic authenticity with thoughtful, high-quality renovation. Originally built in 1825 and fully restored with craftsmanship at every turn, this home lives like a page out of Nantucket’s past—curved walls, heart pine floors, handmade woodwork—yet delivers modern ease and luxurious comfort.
The result of two years of meticulous craftsmanship by the Carey Company and hand-selected finishes by renowned Nantucket designer Audrey Sterk, the home strikes a flawless balance between enduring beauty and modern livability. From the gas lanterns flickering along the stone walkway to the richly designed interiors and multiple fireplaces, every detail reflects timeless Nantucket character.
Step inside from the spacious wraparound porch and immediately sense the intimacy and grandeur of a bygone era—yet with a warm, livable layout that includes both formal and casual spaces. The property includes a post-and-beam garage with carriage doors and beautifully designed landscaping throughout.
A true masterwork of restoration and design, 4 Gay Street is the kind of Nantucket home that rarely comes to market—inviting you to live right in the heart of Town without ever feeling in the middle of it.
