A Hidden Gem in Prestigious Belle Haven – An Artist’s Retreat with Timeless Elegance Tucked away in the private and highly sought-after Belle Haven community, this stunning 1940 Cape Cod/Cottage-style home is a true hidden treasure. Behind its charming façade lies an expansive 3,000+ square feet of mostly above-grade living space. Previously owned by a renowned local architect, artist, sculptor, and published author, this home masterfully blends historic charm with curated, custom finishes. Step inside to find a home that exudes warmth, character, and artistic elegance. The inviting foyer leads into a seamless entertaining flow, beginning with a spacious family room, a formal dining room with a gas fireplace and built-ins, and a private, year-round sunroom. The beautifully renovated kitchen features 42” custom cabinetry, recessed lighting, granite countertops, a custom range hood, and an overhang island for barstool seating. Stunning hardwood floors enhance the home’s refined aesthetic, while thoughtful storage abounds throughout. Off the living room, a private balcony provides a peaceful spot for morning coffee, while a spiral staircase leads down to a custom patio terrace, perfect for entertaining or unwinding in the fresh air. The lower-level primary suite is a breathtaking retreat, featuring original 1940s stone walls, two full bathrooms, and his-and-hers dressing rooms. Two sets of French doors open to the meticulously landscaped gardens, filling the space with natural light and serene views. The massive library is a showstopper, lined with built-in shelving and offering French door access to a terrace—ideal for an afternoon of reading or quiet reflection. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms share a beautifully updated full bath. Outdoor living is unparalleled, with multiple terraces, a picturesque fountain, a wading pool to wind down and relax in the evenings, and an artistically designed garden setting. The rear Super Shed (approximately 14.5' x 10.5' with an 8' interior height) is fully powered and climate-controlled, featuring built-in shelves, work tables, plasterboard walls, and a hardwood floor—ideal as a workshop, studio, or additional storage. This is more than just a home—it’s an artist’s residence, a place where grace and creativity shine in every detail. With a dedicated driveway pad and private street parking, this rare Belle Haven retreat is ready to be yours.
