With the limitations on life due to the coronavirus pandemic, Nantucket offers plenty of reasons to decamp. And this four-bedroom house created by architect Joe Paul near Nantucket Harbor is nicely positioned to making staying home a joy. Plus, it comes furnished by designer Audrey Sterk, taking the guesswork out of choosing paint colors and fabrics. (Sorry, the artwork goes, though.)

Stepping through the front door, the view is of coffee-colored oak flooring (found throughout the home) and a wide stairwell with a far-from-cookie-cutter newel post. The den is on the left. On the right, an entrance with waist-high board and batten wainscot leads to the master suite. Straight ahead down the main hallway is a half bath — with a half-barrel ceiling, a porthole-shaped mirror, black-and-white floral wallpaper, and a floating vanity with foot-height lighting and a deep sink — and then the kitchen.

The master suite offers recessed lighting, thick crown molding, a chandelier with a glass and metal drum shade, and windows with plantation shutters. It’s a space where the weather can set the tone: Windowed double doors open to the deck for lounging on warm, sunny days, while the soaking tub in the adjoining bath offers a respite on cold, rainy ones. The bath also has a basket-weave marble floor, two vanities with white cabinetry at opposite corners of the room, and a separate shower with clear-glass doors and a marble surround.

Back out in the foyer, the entrance to the den kicks off with what might be considered a mudroom. There’s a closet and a planter filled with succulents, bringing a nice touch of the natural world into the space. In the den, the design and architectural choices are bluish-gray crown molding and board and batten wainscot, plantation shutters on the lower half of the three windows, and recessed lighting.

The den flows into a butler’s pantry with white upper and lower cabinetry on both sides and, on the right, a wine refrigerator and a sink. The pantry adjoins the kitchen, which has an expansive island with a sink and seating for at least three, three pendant globe lights with clear glass, a stainless-steel gas stove flanked by two windows, and a dining area in a windowed bump-out. The other appliances are clad in white fronts to match the cabinetry. The counters are a honed black granite.

The living room, the final space on this floor, offers a gas fireplace with a minimalist mantel, a vaulted ceiling, seven windows, a brass sphere chandelier with candle-like lights, and a door to the same deck found off the master.

The second floor is home to three bedrooms with en-suite baths. One bedroom overlooks a salt marsh, and all of the baths have marble counters atop white single vanities and showers with clear-glass doors and marble surrounds. All but two of the baths have marble floors; the third has brown ceramic tile.

A stairwell leads to a third-floor hideway with a custom dry bar, a beverage refrigerator, bluish-green cabinetry, a window, room for a chair or two, and a ladder to the widow’s walk. (How could a residence on a street named Mariner Way not have one?) This one offers views of the harbor.

The home, which sits on 0.11 of an acre, does not have a basement, but there is an outdoor shower. The home comes with off-street parking for two vehicles.
