Nantucket home on sale for $59 million

Could the sale of one single-family house boost the entire state’s housing market? Maybe, if it goes for anywhere near the asking price of $59 million. The waterfront property, which features 20 rooms and 9 1/2 baths on a 70-acre parcel, was put up for sale Sunday. It’s located at Nantucket’s Polpis Harbor, a particularly exclusive part of an island dotted with multimillion dollar houses.
