The Thomas Starbuck House, originally built in 1761 in the old town of Sherburne, was relocated to 11 Milk Street in 1790. This Quaker-style home has been fully and meticulously renovated while respecting its historic grandeur, with antique features thoughtfully preserved and documented by the Nantucket Preservation Trust.

First Floor

The entry hall is spacious and features an L-shaped staircase. The comfotable front parlor boasts antique paneling surrounding a functional fireplace. The large dining room also has an impressive antique inglenook fireplace. A hall with an original blanket/gun closet connects to the den, originally the Starbuck family’s birthing room, which has served as a downstairs bedroom with a working fireplace and powder room, as well as a Dutch door that opens onto a large, private patio. To the rear of the home, the modern eat-in kitchen is generously sized, featuring a center island with a breakfast bar and a walk-in pantry. A rear staircase off the kitchen leads directly to the primary bedroom. A mudroom with laundry and great storage is at the back of the house.

Second Floor

The front stairway ascends to a spacious second-floor landing, currently utilized as office space. The front bedroom features a fireplace and a private bath. The middle bedroom also includes a fireplace and a large bathroom with a tub/shower. The primary bedroom at the rear of the home has cathedral ceilings and a generous bath with double vanities, a free-standing tub, and a shower, as well as a stairway leading to the attic.
