About this property

This newly renovated 2500 sq. foot, 3 level home, sits directly on the bay/beach in Provincetown. You can hear the waves hitting the shore in all 3 waterfront bedrooms. This magnificently located home, with a huge deck is "Sea Barn" the former home and studio of the American Abstract Expressionist painter Robert Motherwell. It was exquisitely redesigned by a Boston architect to maximize its relationship to the magnificent waterfront site.

There are 3 bedrooms (2 king and 2 twins) with adjacent sitting areas on each floor. Everything is absolutely new! There is a grill for outdoor cooking and balconies on each floor which have unmatched waterfront views of Provincetown Harbor and Cape Cod Bay. All of the bathrooms have been exquisitely appointed in Italian Carrara tile.

Summer Getaway

This is the most beautiful property we've ever had the privilege to stay in. It is more beautiful than the pictures can capture, and the owners were accessible, kind, and very welcoming. This is what you hope for when you book a luxury getaway!

Pure delight in PTown!

Bright and airy perfection right on the beach! Sea Barn was a wonderful! Conveniently located - just a bike ride away from the center of everything. The kitchen well stocked for cooking in. And, the view! Waking up in a lovely place where your fourth wall is the beach and ocean. Pure delight! Highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by judith richland

My husband is an architect who has been renovating Robert Motherwell's historic Sea Barn home and studio for the past 2.5 years. It has been a labor of love, designing every detail of the building and its interior design. I am a graphic designer and a professor of design and video at Simmons College in Boston.

Why they chose this property

"Sea Barn" is a significant piece of Provincetown's history as an artists colony. Robert Motherwell lived in this building from 1961 until 1992. During those summers he produced a significant proportion of work and was a highly valued member of Provincetown's community of artists. We were fortunate to acquire the property in 2012. Since it's acquisition we thoroughly renovated the building for use as our home.

What makes this property unique

If you love being on the beach, walking huge distances at low tide, and swimming at high tide, this is a vacation place for you. This is beach living at its finest with easy access to a lively downtown area. Few homes are as beautifully designed with all modern appliances (air conditioning!) and architectural details that enhance this unique historic building and waterfront location.
