Listing broker remarks

A rare offering steeped in Provincetown's artistic heritage, this single-family home was once the studio of renowned impressionist Pauline Palmer. Within these walls, she honed her craft and hosted many of the town's artistic luminaries at the turn of the last century, leaving a legacy that endures today. Renovated in 2018, updates included a new kitchen and 2.5 baths, on-demand hot water, mini-splits, and upgraded systems. The interior features two king suites - one on each floor - with en-suite baths, a soaring great room with an open cottage kitchen, and a cozy and yet very functional loft ideal for lounging or hosting additional guests. The home's unique light--beloved by artists--fills the space. Outside, a private patio invites alfresco dining and relaxed evenings. Tucked on a quiet street in the heart of town, this lovingly cared for property is offered turnkey with some exclusions and a strong rental bookings.— Gibson Sotheby's International Realty
