This exceptional 1.84 acre property is nestled less than a mile away from the bustling heart of Main Street, Nantucket, renowned as ''America's most beautiful small-town street.'' Boasting an excellent elevation and a clear site, the property has received approval for an 8-bedroom septic design. The engineering work is complete, the order of conditions and Conservation Commission NOI have been issued for the development of a 3,000-square-foot footprint and a pool. With picturesque protected pastoral views to the north and south, the property overlooks the birthplace of Benjamin Franklin's mother, Abiah Folger, who was born on Madaket Road in 1667. Her father, Peter Folger, played a significant role in Nantucket's early settlement and development. He was among fourteen tradesmen invited by the original proprietors to settle on the island and contribute their designated trades in exchange for a half-share of Nantucket. Situated along the Madaket bike path, the property provides easy access to Nantucket's natural beauty, including numerous nearby conservation areas.
