This iconic home, known as the House with the Blue Door, boasts a rich history within
Provincetown's vibrant art community. Located in Provincetown's Gallery District, once a studio and now a residence, its design carefully preserves its artistic heritage while embracing modern living.The old postcard, 'Studio Gardens,' shows a clipped-gable cottage nestled in a flower bed on an
idyllic lane. Impossibly quaint? No, it really exists. Alice (Douglas) Grant, the owner of 496 Commercial, built it in 1910 as a studio for her husband, the English-born artist Lawrence Grant. With a nod to Normandy Revival architecture, this unique home offers an open, contemporary layout featuring two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a den/atelier. As you enter, you're welcomed into a spacious great room anchored by 20-foot ceilings, wide plank floors, and a pained north-facing artist-window that fills the space with natural light. The living space is illuminated by strategically placed windows, providing the perfect backdrop
for displaying artwork. A modern Danish Rais wood-burning stove adds a cozy element, and easy access to the wine storage room beneath the home ensures convenience. The Hemlock wood floors and stair treads were milled out of massive antique beams reclaimed from the renovation of the Provincetown Art Association and Museum.The kitchen area is a ideal for creating, featuring honed black granite stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, and sleek lacquer cabinetry. A tiered breakfast bar anchors the kitchen while seamlessly connecting it to the living and dining areas.On this main level, is the guest room with floor-to-ceiling windows inviting both morning and afternoon light. A shared full bath with a tiled tub and shower completes this floor.The second level features a private primary suite with a dressing area, walk-in closet, and an en -suite bath with a double vanity and a tiled shower room.Off the primary suite, step out onto the secluded rooftop deck, offering views of the water. From here you'll enter the den/atelier which overlooks the great room, and enjoys the light from the north-facing windows, proving to be an inspiring studio space. The atelier can also be accessed from a library ladder in the great room. Designed by architect Ted Chapin, the home seamlessly blends its historical exterior with contemporary interior spaces creating a timeless atmosphere. Just moments from the beach, galleries and restaurants, this is your opportunity to own a piece of Provincetown's history in the Gallery District. Come explore the House with the Blue Door and envision your next chapter in this iconic home. (Seller welcomes Offers with requests for buyer concessions.)
