I fell head over heels in love with this Nantucket island cottage! It's secluded, rustic, cozy and powered by wind and sun.
Realtors say kitchen and bathrooms sell houses, but this Nantucket island cottage had me with its fireplace. It's built by a local craftsman with river rocks and beach rocks, and the mantel is a one-of-a-kind piece of driftwood washed up nearby.
The bow-beamed ceiling is designed to look like a whaling boat's hull, reflecting Esther's history as a whaling island.
The house incorporates bits of the old ramshackle cottage that sat on the property, such as wood studs and the weathered shingles that line the covered porch.
White painted beaded-board walls for a timeless New England feel.
And gorgeous farmed-mahogany floors throughout.
The cottage, featured at Coastal Living, sits on Esther island off Nantucket, MA.
