There is a quality of light that artists seek-the kind that pours through the soaring atelier window of the great room in this updated vintage home. Once the studio of Norman Mason, each aspect of its design was in service to his art. Set on 1. 26 acres overlooking Winslow Park, this charming home carries its history lightly and beautifully. The dramatic great room is anchored by an oversized fireplace, newly refinished hardwood floors and a special light that imbues the space with a certain atmosphere whether holding a dinner party for 20 or relaxing alone with a good book. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated for how we live now-new appliances, clean lines, proper workspace, a walk-in pantry. The library offers a quiet place to work from home. The first floor primary suite is its own private world, serene and removed, with a generous walk-in closet and full bath that feels both practical and indulgent. Guests have a separate wing with room to settle in, while additional space throughout the property invites expansion, reinvention or room to grow. Step outside and the story continues. The grounds are lush and unhurried. The perennial gardens and flat sweep of lawn provide a living landscape that changes with the seasons. Moments from the center of town, theater, shops and restaurants, the particular rhythm of a place that is sophisticated and yet part of a neighborhood.
