Double Happiness - Six Bedroom House, Sleeps 12 | House in Nantucket

Double Happiness is located two blocks from the historic seaside Village of Siasconset on the eastern side of Nantucket where the sun rises first in the United States. It's a short walk to the life-guarded beach and the classic rose-covered cottage village which has a summer movie theater, three restaurants, a seaside bar, Claudette's sandwich shop, liquor store, food market, beachfront playground, and a post office. Kids can easily ride bikes to the ‘Sconset Market for ice cream cones or to one of the two scenic bike paths that lead to other parts of the island.
The two-story home is almost 4000 sq ft, newly renovated 6 bedroom, 3 full bathroom house on a corner lot with a landscaped yard enclosed by privet hedges. There are three off-street parking places, two of them on private Comeau Lane, and three separate outdoor seating areas; a spacious teak deck a with gas grill, a balcony off the second floor master bedroom, and a dining table under a shady tree. At the rear of the house there is an outdoor shower and a laundry line for beach towels.
The house has an open concept, lots of natural light, with many places to gather and hang out, or to be private. On the first floor there is a large living room with a flat screen smart TV and Comcast Xfinity cable, an open dining room/kitchen area with high end appliances. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to make great meals or to entertain. Beyond the living/dining area French pocket doors lead to a marble floor sun room with a storage closet and a sliding glass door that opens to the deck and yard. There are also two large bedrooms with queen beds, closets and entrance. These bedrooms share a separate full modern bath with a shower and bathtub.
The newly designed second floor has four bedrooms and two full baths all with cathedral ceilings. The master bedroom (king bed) is spacious with a walk- in closet and a beautiful master bath with his and her sinks, a glass shower, skylight, and heated tile floors. A second bedroom has two twin beds; the other two bedrooms have queen beds and each has plenty of closet space. These bedrooms share a third full bathroom with heated marble floors, a large soaking tub, and a separate glass shower.
There is high speed internet throughout the house. A first floor door leads to a laundry and storage area in the basement. The house has everything you need for days on the beach, chairs, beach umbrellas, boogie boards, croquet, badminton, and other sports and cooking equipment: a large lobster pot, etc. The linen closet in the first floor bath is stocked with beach blankets and towels as well as bath towels and linens. All the ceiling lighting fixtures in the house are on dimmers for control. The newly restored public Siasconset Golf Club is a five minute drive. The 'Sconset Bluff walk is two blocks away - waves can be heard crashing on windy days and the Sankaty Light beam plays across Double happiness at night.

Siasconset, or simply 'Sconset, as locals call it, is the area on the eastern most end of the island. About a seven mile drive from Town, on Nantucket’s only state road, Sconset is its own little world. In the summer, the village is blanketed with rose-covered cottages, lush green hedges, large hydrangeas and white shell driveways around every corner. Just when you think Nantucket Island can’t get any better, head out to Sconset for a little slice of heaven out on the east end.
Beaches
Just beyond the village is Sconset Beach, great for sunbathing, a picnic and the place where the sun rises first in the United States. Kids can walk across the street from the beach to enjoy the nearby Codfish Park playground.
Attractions
The Sconset Bluff Walk is a popular walking path that is open to the public and winds through rosa rugosa, honeysuckle, and the backyards of ocean view mansions. A must to visit is the beloved Sankaty Head Lighthouse; the only original lighthouse still standing on the island. Completed in 1850, the lighthouse was 60 feet high with 10 more feet added in 1888 as a lantern deck. No longer needed as a working lighthouse, and in serious danger of falling into the sea, the Sconset Trust in 2007 took ownership of the property and moved the lighthouse to safer ground. The grounds are open daily and several times a year the public is welcomed to walk to the top.
Golf & Tennis
Sconset is also known as a haven for golfers. There are three golf courses – Nantucket Golf Club, Sankaty Head Golf Club, and Old Siasconset Golf Course, affectionately known as “Skinner’s.” The first two are 18 holes and private, with the latter course being 9 holes and open to the public. This course is believed to be the oldest privately-owned golf course still being played. If tennis is more your flavor, the Sconset Casino maintains an excellent set of courts for the enjoyment of members.
Restaurants
The Chanticleer is the ultimate spot for a romantic dinner. Whether you dine al fresco in their beautiful gardens or in one of their elegant dining rooms, their French cuisine and wine list makes for a memorable evening. Ocean Avenue is where you will find the Summer House. Enjoy cocktails and lunch by the pool, or have dinner in the main restaurant while listening to classic tunes on the piano. The Sconset Café (cash only & BYOB) and Claudette’s Sandwich Shop are two other options in the heart of the Village, next to the rotary. Around the corner is the Sconset Market, a great place to grab a morning coffee and blueberry muffin, a sandwich for the beach, ice cream, or that gourmet dinner ingredient you forgot while you were downtown.
Events
Celebrating the beginning of spring, the Daffodil Festival is held the last weekend in April and it is the first of many island festivals. Hosted by the Nantucket Chamber of Commerce, the weekend is full of events such as art shows, tours, parades, contests, and the annual Nantucket Daffodil Flower Show. The tailgate picnic in Sconset that follows the Antique Car Parade is a favorite among everyone who attends this Nantucket festival.
