Fresh Catch
Located just off Main Street is one of the oldest homes remaining in the historic section of Nantucket , which was originally part of the fish lots . Built in 1746 , designer Elizabeth Georgantas charted a new course for the home that honors its roots and paves the way for new adventures .
The style is authentically New England . Tucked away on a one-way street , even though it is “ in town ,” the home manages to maintain a country-road-lesstraveled approach .
During the three-year renovation , Elizabeth made every effort to use reclaimed materials , sourcing old wood , stone , and flooring . The result , while a mixture of new and old , celebrates the quirks rather than correcting imperfections .
“ I ’ m very ‘ in the moment ’ and prefer to design in a flow as we come across items , especially in these historic homes . When you see a beam that ’ s a beautiful piece of wood , it ’ s so hard to say , ‘ The plan is to put up board and cover it .’ So , we redirect and change to fit the house and what the house wants to be ,” says Elizabeth .
