Historic Skyemoor, originally built in 1694, is one of the 50 oldest houses on the island. Built by the Macy family, who arrived on Nantucket with the first settlers, Skyemoor is steeped in island history and culture, played host to Herman Melville and others, as well as served as the home of wealthy Whaling Captains throughout Nantucket’s whaling golden age. Today, Skyemoor is the perfect family home, having been tastefully and carefully renovated to provide modern conveniences without losing its antique roots. The house sits high up on Main Street, at the head of town and central to all that Nantucket has to offer. Charming shops, fine dining restaurants, and beautiful beaches are all just steps away. Experience Nantucket the way the island is meant to be, with an appreciation for her beauty, a nod to the past, and from the comfort of a welcoming and grand family home.
