Welcome to The Nantucket House, one of Ketchikan's most recognized and cherished historic homes, where timeless character, spectacular harbor views, and exceptional income potential come together in one truly remarkable property. Originally constructed in 1939 by the McGillivray Brothers for prominent Ketchikan dentist Dr. W. E. Peterson, this iconic Knob Hill residence has long been admired as one of the community's distinguished landmark homes. Perched high above downtown, it enjoys panoramic views of Tongass Narrows, the bustling cruise ship harbor, Deer Mountain, and Ketchikan's vibrant downtown waterfront. Lovingly updated throughout the years, The Nantucket House perfectly balances modern convenience with its original historic charm. Rich hardwood floors, original wood doors adorned with vintage glass doorknobs, classic millwork, and other period details have been thoughtfully preserved, while extensive renovations have enhanced the home's comfort, functionality, and enduring appeal. Every improvement has been made with respect for the home's architectural heritage, creating a residence that is both timeless and exceptionally well maintained. The pride of ownership is evident throughout every level of this remarkable property. One of the home's most impressive features is the beautifully remodeled gourmet kitchen, thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Rich custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, premium stainless-steel appliances, abundant built-in storage, and a large center island create a space that is both elegant and functional. The open design flows seamlessly into the dining and living areas, where expansive windows showcase breathtaking waterfront views and fill the home with natural light. Most recently, the upper two levels have been combined and successfully operated as a spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bath vacation rental, while the lower 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment has provided dependable long-term rental income. An interior staircase connects all three levels, allowing the property to easily function as one of Ketchikan's premier single-family residences, continue as a highly successful vacation rental with supplemental rental income, or be utilized as a traditional triplex with three separate units. Outdoor living is equally impressive with two spacious view decks providing the perfect setting for morning coffee, evening entertaining, or simply watching cruise ships, floatplanes, fishing vessels, bald eagles, and spectacular Alaska sunsets pass through Tongass Narrows. Beautifully landscaped grounds with mature trees and colorful plantings create a private, inviting setting rarely found so close to downtown. Additional amenities include a two-car garage, generous storage, a fish processing room an exceptional Knob Hill location just minutes from downtown shopping, restaurants, Creek Street, schools, the waterfront, and Ketchikan's vibrant downtown district. Whether you're searching for an extraordinary family home, a proven income-producing vacation rental, or a unique investment opportunity, The Nantucket House offers an exceptional that is truly unmatched in Southeast Alaska. This is more than a home--it's an opportunity to own one of Ketchikan's most iconic and enduring residences.
