Overview

Description

Built in 1963 by artists Pat and Nanno de Groot, this iconic East End waterfront home is a true reflection of Old Provincetown. Spread across three levels, the interior showcases original wood from floor to ceiling, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace that adds warmth and soul. Legally a two-family property, it includes two studio spaces in addition to the main living area—offering flexibility for guests, creative use, or rental income. Set on one of the largest front yards in town, the home's outdoor spaces are just as remarkable. A whimsical garden nods to its artistic heritage, while a nearly 1,000 sq.ft. waterfront deck provides rare and expansive space for outdoor living. With three decks in total, direct beach access, and panoramic water views that are uniquely breathtaking—even by Provincetown standards—this is a timeless and truly singular retreat. The property awaits its next chapter—ready to be reimagined.
