The list of Massachusetts’ most expensive single-family and condominium sales of 2022 is very nearly a list of Nantucket’s most expensive home sales of 2022, despite numerous notable transactions involving Boston’s new luxury towers and high-end historic homes last year.
Address: 21 Lincoln Ave., Nantucket
Price: $36,000,000
Buyer: Nantucket Re Invest LLC
Seller: 21 Lincoln Avenue NT
Size: 6,655 square feet on 1.22 acres
Sold: 4/15/2022
The most expensive single-family sale in Nantucket history takes the top spot in this year’s home sales. The 4,903-square-foot main house, built in 1878, and the 1,752-square-foot, 2013-vintage outbuilding sit on 1.22 acres. The property appears to have been substantially renovated after its most recent sale, for $14.02 million in 2012. An off-market transaction, the buyer of the house just over a half-mile from the island’s village center was a Texas LLC.

Second only to a $36 million sale in Nantucket’s Cliff section earlier this year, and ahead of Red Sox owner John Henry’s newly purchased $25 million island estate, this waterfront home on Hulbert Avenue is surprisingly demure for its price. The listing noted only a “recently renovated chef’s kitchen,” dual master suites and a two-bedroom guest house.
Address: 4 Middle Valley Road, Nantucket

Buyer: Harbor Hill House LLC

Size: 18,012 square feet on 4 acres

Boston Red Sox owner John Henry bought this estate through an LLC, and what a purchase he made. The unique, nearly new home plays on classic Nantucket forms with decidedly contemporary architecture designed by Hugh Newell Jacobsen and Simon Jacobsen. It sits on piece of harbor-side high ground and boasts steps down to the sea and “gathering areas for every time of day and season” across several interconnected buildings.

Size: 6,002 square feet on 0.41 acres
Agent: Michael O’Mara, BHHS Island Properties
Sold: 11/18/2022
This home looks out from top of Nantucket’s Cliff in the exclusive Lincoln Circle. At $3,315 per square foot, what do its new owners get? No gracious, Gilded-Age-esque front yard like nearby 45 Cliff Road (sold for $3,062 per square foot in 2020), but similar views and the two-bedroom guest house and lush garden give them plenty of privacy not far from both beach and town.
Address: 159 Main St., Osterville
Price: $18,500,000
Buyer: Chapin 2 RT
Seller: 159 Main Street T
Size: 10,027 square feet on 6.11 acres
Agent: Robert Kinlin, BHHS Robert Paul Properties
Sold: 9/15/2022
Big vistas looking out on Nantucket Sound are the big draw at this house. The listing also advertised smart-home features, vaulted ceilings in many rooms and custom Travertine marble flooring in the master bath.
