Four Chimneys on the island of Nantucket was built in 1835, long before Nantucket was a thriving tourist destination and was still a community based on the whaling economy. Like many of Nantucket's older houses, this grand four-story home has since served as one of the island's many bed and breakfast inns. The home was renovated in 2003 and with new electrical and plumbing systems. The first floor includes the stairway with a decorative painted floor and two parlor rooms with high ceilings and fireplaces. There is a large kitchen and a dining area with wide, plank floors, fireplace and a window seat. There is also a bedroom on the first floor and a large covered porch. The second floor includes more bedrooms and a master bedroom with access to a large deck which provides ocean views. The basement includes a two-bedroom ground floor apartment with an open living and kitchen area. This home listed at $6.495 million.
