Built c. 1870 as the parsonage for the Center Methodist Episcopal Church, this extraordinary Provincetown residence is one of the town's most iconic and photographed homes. Known as ''The Hazel House, '' it was reimagined in the 1990s by visionary Shop Therapy founder Ron Hazel, transforming the property into a one-of-a-kind sculpture and crystal garden featured in Provincetown Magazine, Boston Spirit, and The Boston Globe. Behind handcrafted iron gates lie intricate stone arches, crystal-inlaid walls, volcanic Buddhas, brass amphoras, and monumental works by noted artists including Pierre Riche, Michael Kacergis, and Richard Pepitone. Crystals and semi-precious stones from Brazil, India, and Arkansas shimmer throughout the garden, glowing from day to night under professional lighting. Inside, the home retains its parsonage charm with opportunities for preservation or creative reimagination. All bedrooms enjoy ocean views, and the third-floor deck opens to sweeping vistas of the Atlantic, sky, and Commercial Street. Steps from beaches and Provincetown's vibrant art district, 4 Center Street is a rare fusion of history, art, ocean views, and individuality--a living work of art.
