Hobbit to the Unicorn: How Much Farther to... West Bag End?

~ The Corner of South Shore Road and Blueberry Lane, Nantucket ~

From 1982-1984, I owned this Quarter-Acre Corner Lot in "The Badlands" of Nantucket Island, which was to be the site for my permanent home built of wood and covered with red cedar shingles and having a wrap-around porch on three sides. Roofing was to be green architectural shingles and trim painted forest green. Windows were to have Z-back shutters, plus little brass lanterns on the porch posts and illuminating both doors. Dormers on the upstairs roof with an English country cottage look were to complete this image that was inspired by books of J.R.R. Tolkien, in particular: The Hobbit & Lord of the Rings trilogy... ~ JDHWB-R
