Step into history at Roan & Black: The Gallery Loft, a one-of-a-kind retreat that beautifully blends its artistic past with mid-century modern style. Once home to a beloved local art gallery and originally built in 1950 as an auto body shop, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath loft has been thoughtfully transformed into a serene, inspiring space surrounded by nearly two acres of landscaped grounds. Please note this is the ground-floor unit of a two-unit property; a separate apartment upstairs may be occupied by other renters during your stay.

Inside, you’ll find a spacious open-concept living area that still carries the creative spirit of its gallery roots complete with authentic paint splatters on the floor, preserved from years of artistic expression. The bright, open kitchen and dining area are perfect for meals at home, while the comfortable lounge invites long conversations and relaxed evenings. A spiral staircase leads to a lofted office a cozy hideaway for reading, writing, or remote work.

The bedrooms are tucked toward the back of the home for quiet and privacy. The primary suite features a king bed and private deck overlooking the lawn and gardens, while the second bedroom includes a queen bed and a semi-open loft design that enhances the home’s airy, industrial feel. Please note the second bedroom is open to the great room at the ceiling - it does not have full walls to the roofline - so it offers a semi-private, loft-style layout rather than complete separation. A modern bathroom with a washer and dryer ensures convenience during your stay.

Outside, nearly two acres of lush gardens and open space invite you to slow down and reconnect with nature. Multiple decks, shaded sitting areas, and curated outdoor nooks create the perfect setting for morning coffee or an alfresco dinner beneath the trees. This unit has its own private fire pit, located in the backyard closest to the house. A gas grill nearby is shared with the apartment upstairs.
