Nantucket Home Magazine, Vol. 15, Issue 3, Late Summer 2023

Welcome to Nantucket... or even be琀er welcome bACK!

Whether you have been coming to Nantucket for years, or this is your first visit to the island, you will likely experience what so many of us did when we first set foot here. Nantucket is special, different, and “other” than the rest of the world. Here you will find a rare combina琀on of beau琀ful and accessible beaches, world class restaurants and shops, a lowkey lifestyle, and an enduring commitment from the community to preserve and support Nantucket’s significant history, beaches and open spaces. Nantucket offers some of the most beau琀ful real estate in the country. But it is the people that make this island most special.

People come to Nantucket from all over the world and many decide, a昀er coming for a visit, that they want to stay. Our year­round popula琀on has grown rapidly in the past two decades and is now represented by people from many different countries and cultures. Many of our visitors decide to come back and end up ren琀ng a vaca琀on home year a昀er

year. Nantucket has a long history of ren琀ng to vaca琀oners, many of whom can only experience the island by ren琀ng (and not owning). Some people, with the means to do so, decide to buy land and build a home, or to purchase an exis琀ng home on­island.

The past three years, driven by the pandemic and the demand to be in special places, saw real estate values soar to unprecedented levels on Nantucket. The Nantucket Associa琀on of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB) is here to provide local knowledge, resources and professional exper琀se in all thing real estate related on Nantucket. Our agents are not only highly informed about the island real estate market but are the best source of informa琀on about anything related to the island. A昀er all, we live here too.

We pride ourselves on our experience, local knowledge, and ability to navigate smoothly in this very special market. Please reach out to a NAREB member office and take the first step towards a great real estate experience.

Gardens to Help Our Community Thrive

by EleniSinnis

Nantucket is known for its love ofhor culture and lush gardens lining the cobblestone walks oftown and the jagged coastline ofSiasconset and Madaket.Gardens beau fy your home,while also helping the environment,butonly ifmaintained naturally.A rain garden isan environmentally beneficial, func onally landscaped garden designed to capture and filter stormwater,allowing you to sustain a beau fulgarden without fer lizersoroverwatering.They are idealforthe landscape of Nantucket since they are able to thrive adjacent to a beach, dune,coastalbank,waterbody,or within an area prone to flooding.

Stormwaterpicks up pollutants while traveling along:oil from roadways;siltand sand from exposed soil;nutrientsfrom fer lizers;bacteria from petwaste;and pes cidesfrom lawns.

In many Massachuse s towns, including Nantucket, stormwaterrunoff doesnotgo to a treatmentplant.Pollutants flow through a storm drain and are delivered into the nearest body ofwaterresul ng in stormwaterpollu on thatcontaminatesshellfish bedsand swimming areas.Rain gardenstransform stormwaterfrom a destruc ve carrierofpollu on into a source ofsustenance forplantand wildlife habitats:the plants thrive on nitrogen and phosphorus that is picked up,while their stems trap sediment.Through this process,plants are able to thrive withoutthe need forfer lizerorexcess watering.Rain gardens collect rainwater from a roof,driveway,or street,capturing it in shallow depressions and allowing it to

soak into the ground.Rain gardens also help recharge stores ofgroundwater in aquifers.The plants and grasses filter out pollutantsand ideally encourage na ve biodiversity.They are a cost­effec ve and beau fulway to reduce runoff.

Clean water is a topic on the minds ofmany Nantucket residents,especially when it involves gardening. The desire fora beau ful,colorfulgarden can lead people to using harmfulfer lizers,pes cides,and even overwatering. Asresidents ofan island,we mustbe mindfulofwhatwe are pu ng into our water sources. Water is an invaluable resource on Nantucketbecause ourwaterisdrawn from a single­source glacial aquifer. Plunging hundredsoffeetbelow sea level,ouraquifer isa bowl­shaped store offresh watercaptured beneath the island in the sand,which serves as an excellent naturalfilter. The lens, or the water within the dense clay walls of the "bowl," is replenished by rainfall.

The Clean WaterCoali on wasformed on the island in the spring of2023 by the NantucketLand Councilpartnered with the NantucketShellfish Associa on,the Maria MitchellAssocia on,and 14 otherorganiza onsand en es. The Coali on wasformed in response to the ar cle passed by the town banning the use offer lizer.

lizer,rain gardens are a wonderfulway to sustain a garden. Rain gardensare effec ve in removing up to 90% ofnutrients and chemicals and up to 80% ofsediments from rainwater runoff. When people begin growing a garden fer lizerisa naturaltrain ofthought,itis a reliable resource in orderto culvate a successfulgarden,butfer lizerscontain an overload of nutrientswhich can cause significantdegrada on ofourbodies ofwater,referred to as nutrient pollu on. Rain gardens are a way thatNantucketci zenscan bypassfer lizersand be involved in the fightagainstclimate change on the island. Pollutantsthatare notabsorbed orremoved from waterwayswill create algalblooms.

Nantucket’sMiacometPond isa specialfeature ofthe island. For years,children would swim and play in the pond, butitnow hasa deep muck,fullofnitrogen and phosphorous that's been entering the pond from sep c systems and fer lizerrunoff fordecades. Harmfulalgalbloomsproducing toxins are occurring frequently in island ponds. The nutrientsentering the pond cause algalbloomsand invasive plantsthatdamage the shoreline rendering the pond unswimmable in the summer. Ourtreasured beaches,ponds,and harborare atrisk ifresidents does notdo theirpart.

The NantucketLand Bank hasbeen taking stepsforyears to address climate change on ourisland.Rain gardens collecvely produce substan alneighborhood and community environmentalbenefits.They reduce the poten alfor erosion and minimize the amount ofpollutants flowing from a yard into a storm drain,and ul mately into ourwaterways.

According to RachaelFreeman,the EnvironmentalCoordinator at Nantucket Land Bank,“The biggest benefit is one we can’tsee. Dirt,fer lizer,soaps,and oils are justa few of the pollutantsthatcan be filtered outofrunoff when itiscaptured in a rain garden and allowed to soak into the ground. Removing harmfulcompoundsbefore they enterourgroundwater or reach our harbor and ponds is a very important ecosystem service.” Rain gardens use the concept ofbioreten on,a waterquality prac ce in which plantsand soilsfilter pollutants from stormwater.

The Land Bank is beginning its very own rain garden. On the NLB property of 65 & 67 Easton Street, situated in a densely developed area ofdowntown,this smallpocket of green space has allowed the Land Bank to explore naturebased solu ons forstormwatermanagement.

On the NLB Instagram Guthrie Diamond discusses the Land Banks'excitementaboutthisnew space,“thisisjustone ofmany projects where the Land Bank is looking forways to balance climate resiliency with ourmission ofpublicaccessto open space.”

"We absolutely loved our experience of working with Jeanne. As first time home buyers on Nantucket, her knowledge of the market was invaluable. Every step of the way, Jeanne had advice and guidance that was tailored to exactly what we were looking for. We needed a seasoned realtor to help us navigate the complexities of this competitive market - from thinking through trade-offs from our wishlist to partnering with us on negotiations and closing tactics, Jeanne brings an incredible amount of experience and knowledge. We are so happy with where we've landed and look forward to working with her in the future as well. "

Mid Island | Located just around the corner from numerous rising stars on the list of go-to Nantucket spots, this newly constructed six-bedroom home is slated to be completed at the start of this summer. Brought to life by J5 Development with custom interiors by Hellenic Designs, this exciting new property will feature extensive amenities inside and out. Ensuite bedrooms, three laundry facilities, a separate appliance pantry, and an oversized mudroom top a long list of interior luxuries offered by this home. In the spacious backyard, a covered porch leading to the pool and cabana with a bluestone patio further enhances the property. Situated moments from markets such as Pip and Anchor and Nantucket Meat & Fish, as well as fitness and recreational spots like SUPTA Yoga, Nantucket Fitness, and the 100+ acres of State Forest, you are never far from convenience and summer fun.

‘Sconset | Built in the 1800s as a summer residence for Frederick Mitchell, sea captain and successful businessman, the property at 20 Main Street has a long and colorful history.

Host to prominent Nantucketers and a large cast of characters throughout many storied years, this five-bedroom, eight-bathroom home boasts a covetable patina only achieved through the passage of time. Guests have described the space as transformative, and no wonder — an incomparable feeling of nostalgia enchants and imbues one’s senses upon spending even the smallest amount of time in this home. Nearly every bedroom and gathering space throughout the first floor of the home features a fireplace, contributing to the famed green chimneys dotting the roof, and inspiration for the home’s moniker.
