A prominent feature of this Bensonwood timber frame home recently raised on Nantucket is its large wraparound porch. Commonplace for homes in the area, these porches aren't just for looks. Historically, wraparound porches were installed as a practical design element, offering social gathering spaces as well as a cool, shaded place to spend hot summer days. Through the years, these porches have remained popular, and are still implemented in new builds as a way to maintain the historical charm of Nantucket.
