Refined artistry permeates this home. Formerly the NOA Gallery and Design Studio (New, Old & Abstract) for 35 years, its original art gallery elements remain and have been meticulously restored. It is true that this house is unique in every imaginable good way. Historic bayfront with turret, restored wood French front doors...elegant vestibule which opens into an interior which is comforting, pleasing, high end. Immediately captivating and uplifting - this entirely open space features a wonderful kitchen with farm sink, quality stainless appliances, stone countertop, cooking island, white cabinets, extra shelving and exposed brick. Simply amazing dining area - lined with bookshelves and south facing windows. Inviting living room with bay window and original fireplace mantel. Powder room with hewn wood counter and trestle sink, great hardware. High ceilings, warm heart of pine floors throughout. Fabulous owner's suite w/ large walk in closet with restored wood barn door, stunning bath which was gutted to studs - gorgeous. Large second bedroom with bay window, murphy bed and wall of bookshelves. And something rare - a spa like oasis with 67" Gaia Soaking Tub for solace and luxuriating, overlooking trees. DELIGHTFUL deck off the owners bedroom - private and pretty. Greenhouse-like office off the deck. Another touch of artistry and uniqueness. Charming patio off rear. Basement for working out and storage. Gallery lighting - art lights giving a warmer light. Walls painted in Farrow and Ball flat paint with public space ceiling in high gloss - a single hue can be swept up the walls and across the ceiling to envelop your room in color and warmth - incredibly calming.
