36 Pearl Street, Unit 2Provincetown, MA 02657Sale Price: $965,000

A genuinely central address that puts the ferry landing, Commercial Street, and the galleries all within easy reach, without sacrificing the quiet of a side-street retreat. Pearl Street has been quietly conspiring for years waiting for just the right moment to deliver exactly this: a freshly and fully renovated 2BR, 1BA condominium that understands, in its very bones, that beauty and practicality are not opposites, but soul mates. We'll get to the renovation, but first, the deck. Oh, the deck. 240 square feet of pure horizontal possibility, suspended above a front lawn so well irrigated by a private well that the grass is smug. This is where morning coffee becomes a spiritual practice, where breezes arrive with opinions, where the creative electricity of the Fine Arts Work Center and the gallery district, humming just beyond your sightline, reminds you that you have chosen; wisely and well.The renovation is thorough and thoughtful. Floating shelves hover above granite countertops with the casual confidence of the enlightened. A passthrough between kitchen and living room refuses to let you feel alone, because here connection, like the expert tile work, is the lingua franca. Oak floors glow with a warmth ready to receive many Provincetown summers and soirees. Though currently shown with queen beds, each of the bedrooms can accommodate a king size bed. The full bath sparkles with modern style, and the stacked washer and dryer handle the laundry situation with a tidy efficiency. What more? Two tandem parking spaces. Weekly rentals and pets for owners permitted.
