Many visitors to Nantucket know Straight Wharf. They may have strolled Old South Wharf, where boathouses have been converted into tidy, shingled art galleries and boutiques. Few, however, know the Old North Wharf, which like the others, is just steps from the bustling main streets of downtown.

This former fishery site now harbors a tight enclave of residential cottages. Along its' pebblestone lane, seagulls pose on pilings, buoys dangle over gates and hydrangea crowd white picket fences.

At the end of the wharf, built on stilts, perches Peru -
The summer escape of one East Coast family.
