Nantucket’s high-end market just got a new bragging right. A nine-bedroom harborfront house at 36 Easton Street in Brant Point has changed hands for $25 million, setting the island’s top residential sale price so far this year. The shingled spread sits just steps from Nantucket Harbor and closed in early July after several weeks under agreement. The price more than doubled the home’s last recorded sale in 2021.
According to Compass, the nine-bedroom property at 36 Easton Street closed at $25 million on July 2. The same MLS record shows the house previously traded in October 2021 for roughly $12.4 million, a turnaround that tells you everything you need to know about demand for prime harbor frontage.
Listing history and home highlights
The house had been on the market since mid 2024 and saw price adjustments before finally finding its buyer, according to local listings. The Maury People Sotheby's International Realty listing pitches the property as a turnkey, fully furnished waterfront compound, complete with nine bedrooms, 9½ baths, multiple terraces and private harbor frontage.
The listing also highlights an oversized two car garage with bedrooms above and direct water access suitable for kayaks and small boats, the kind of setup that makes “backyard commute to the mooring” feel like a perfectly normal phrase.
Public records and transfer details
Local transfer filings reported by Nantucket Current show the deed moving from JFM Cacique LLC to EPOQUE ACK MA LLC, with a $500,000 Land Bank fee recorded as part of the transaction. Town MLS and deed entries list the property under MLS #91356 and include a deed reference in the public record, as shown on Compass. Assessors’ figures noted in those records put the parcel’s assessed value in the low twenty million dollar range.
Where this sale fits in Nantucket's market
The $25 million deal “leads a string of eight figure sales” across the island this season, according to the Boston Business Journal. Local broker roundups and sold listing pages show a steady drumbeat of seven and eight figure transfers in recent weeks, keeping overall dollar volume elevated, per market trackers such as JPFCo.
The sale is a sharp reminder that on Nantucket, prime waterfront still commands top dollar even as some other luxury markets hint at cooling. More detail will surface as public filings, transfer paperwork and tax records continue to hit the town’s databases.
