This Enchanting Artist’s Home Used to Be a Barn — Peek Inside
There’s something magical about seeing the home of an artist. Getting to see all the views and doorways that inspired their work makes even the most mundane details feel like potential masterpieces. That surely rings true for this home for sale in Stony Point, New York, formerly owned by the American artist Jasper Johns. Although the home and studio is just an hour north of Manhattan, you’d never know from the sylvan surroundings. Situated on an acre of woodsy slope, the home looks down onto a picturesque brook flowing below.

Originally a barn, the home has evolved over the years, from its conversion into a residence and then the addition of a living room and art studio. But you can still spot its barn origins in the hand-hewn ceiling beams, wide-plank floors, and barnwood walls.
On the main entry level, you’ll find two rustic bedrooms, a full bath, a massive picture window in the hall, and, of course, a studio absolutely soaked in natural light, thanks to a pair of overhead sectional doors that roll up to let the fresh air and leafy trees form the room’s fourth wall.
Downstairs, the dining room features a fireplace on one side and floor-to-ceiling windows on the other. The living room is also wrapped in windows looking out onto a long deck, the woodsy slope, and Cedar Pond Brook below.
Those with a curated pottery collection will adore the wall of open shelving in the kitchen, where you can show off all your dishware, and anyone is bound to fall for the handmade tile floors and wooden ceiling beams that make even this room feel like an art studio.
