The magic and quiet beauty of Hallowell Lane has attracted families for many generations. This quintessential summer cottage presents the essence of the peaceful Nantucket house setting far from the tourist crowds, while still enjoying close proximity to the hub of downtown activity.

Waterfront living offers active down time for everyone… building sandcastles, crabbing, and shelling for the young – fishing, boating, and picnicking for the young at heart – savored memories for a lifetime!

From this private beach and well perched deck you can watch the sun rise brilliantly over Great Point lighthouse and set stunningly over the beautiful island of Tuckernuck.

The view over the water is always captivating – whether it’s watching sailboats cross the Sound, seeing the gulls patrol the waters or observing the ever changing textures and hues. This Nantucket home has it all!

According to a recent NAR survey, nearly one-third of all existing homes sold recently were either short sales or foreclosures.  For many real estate professionals, short sales and foreclosures are the new “traditional” transaction.  REALTORS^® who have earned the SFR Certification know how to help sellers maneuver the complexities of short sales as well as help buyers pursue short sale and foreclosure opportunities.

“As leading advocates for homeownership, REALTORS^® believe that any family that loses its home to foreclosure is one family too many, but unfortunately, there are situations in which people just cannot afford to keep their homes, and a foreclosure or a short sale results,” said 2009 NAR President Charles McMillan. “Foreclosures and short sales can offer opportunities for home buyers and benefit the larger community, as well, but it’s extremely important to have the help of a real estate professional like a REALTOR^® who has earned the SFR Certification for these kinds of purchases.”

Staging is a great way to brighten up an older house or add a comfortable, warm look to a new house. Staging a home can include everything from putting a fresh coat of paint on the walls, de-cluttering the house or even buying accent furniture pieces. It may be a simple matter of buying new bedding and curtains for the bedrooms. Statistics show that the investment pays off every time.

In Nantucket, many buyers are looking for light and bright homes, classically designed and decorated that they can immediately be enjoyed during the summer months. Nantucket summer cottage or Nantucket beach house is a style that appeals to and attracts our specific buyer pool.

For pointers on staging your home and some statistics on how effective it can be,  see this home staging article featured on Boston Realty Advisor’s website (www.bradvisors.com).
