The patio outside the primary suite is made of bluestone pavers. The gabion walls were “a cost-effective way to build retaining walls, which we needed because of the slope, and for privacy,” says David.

Prospective buyers who want to tour the interior of the restored Smith Point Lighthouse—and are on board for the $450,000 cash sale—will have to provide financial verification and sign a release.

Landscaping was another major investment in the project’s budget, turning the backyard into something more closely resembling a “golf course with trees.” Isaac spent $48K on the illuminated stone pathway that leads up to the space.

Outdoor lounge chairs from Design Within Reach rest on the floating wood deck.

The upstairs sleeping loft is used by the couple's family and friends that frequently come to visit. It’s furnished with the Ophelia Bed purchased from Rove Concepts.

The art studio is used by both Isaac, who works with oil paintings and pencil drawings, and his wife, Helen, who plays the piano: “She’s much more talented than me,” insists Isaac.

Generous windows, framed by electric shades, bring nature inside the space along with ample nature light for when inspiration strikes in the art studio.

A sitting area features a sofa from Edloe Finch, a Herman Miller Nelson Saucer Bubble Pendant, and a Troubadour Saddle Leather Wood Frame Chair from CB2.

Isaac invested in a video set up that easily and discreetly folds up into the cabinetry above his desktop computer, which was also a recent purchase.
