Timeless elegance with modern amenities in this historic gem. 150 Ocean Avenue is a distinguished Queen Anne Victorian designed by architect George F. Barber, thoughtfully preserved to showcase the craftsmanship, materials, and character that define this era. Known locally as a notable Painted Lady, the home offers a rare blend of architectural integrity, historic detail, and careful modern stewardship. The entry sets the tone with original front doors, restored plaster medallions, and period wallcoverings that complement the home’s late-19th-century design. Formal and informal living spaces flow seamlessly through working pocket doors, each room enhanced by historically appropriate wallpapers, antique chandeliers, and restored plasterwork. The first-floor tower room—long used as a music studio—offers exceptional acoustics and a unique sense of place, a reminder of the home’s cultural roots within the Northport community. The kitchen balances heritage and function with custom Crown Point cabinetry, granite countertops, a Viking six-burner range, updated appliances, and hand-painted tiles inspired by Victorian garden motifs. A butler’s pantry, original doors and hardware, and a collection of vintage and reproduction lighting contribute to the home’s continuity and character.
Upstairs, the tower bedroom features graceful bay windows and a generous walk-in closet. Additional bedrooms follow the same commitment to preservation, with historic wallpapers, vintage fixtures, and restored plaster walls. The upstairs bath combines original elements with carefully selected updates, including marble flooring, a clawfoot tub with shower conversion, and cherry-blossom stenciling completed by the current owner. The third floor presents a fully finished suite originally used as maid’s quarters, now reimagined as a private retreat with original beadboard, flexible living space, and a restored turret room with wraparound seating. This level offers ideal separation for guests, creative work, or additional recreational use. Throughout the home, improvements have been completed with an emphasis on authenticity and quality, preserving the architectural story while ensuring comfort and functionality. For buyers seeking a historic residence with remarkable detail and a deeply preserved sense of its original era, 150 Ocean Avenue represents a rare opportunity in the heart of Northport.
