Historic 3-story, 5-bay Federal style mansion circa 1827 home originally owned by William Swain, a famous Nantucket Sea Captain reputed to have speared a whale himself on one of his last voyages before settling permanently to the completed four-level mansion in 1827. Many improvements have been recently made to this property, including foundation repair, gutters, rebuilt historical woodwork, roof repair, paint in and out, flooring, refinished cabinets, Volcanic Rock countertops, appliances, historical lighting, hardware, bathroom remodels, floor joists reinforced, new water heater, insulation evaluation and more. Two story foyer with Mahogany spindled railing and banister, five ornate fireplaces. Front French doors open to balconies with wrought iron railings. Rear door opens to large, open porch. Fully finished third story includes two bedrooms (one with a kitchenette), full bathroom, additional room for storage or a 6th walkthrough bedroom, a large landing at the top of the stairs that could be set up as a living room, and stair access to the roof. A beautiful property that is a must see!
