Modern Barn House in Stony Point

Free onsite parking, Free street parking

There is a parking area in front of the house and a two car garage. Overflow can also park on the road next to the house where there is county (i.e. unused) land. I estimate there is room for a maximum of seven cars

This is a barn that was renovated in the seventies in the Mid-Century style in fashion at the time. That means windows, windows, windows. The entire south face of the house on the ground floor is made up of floor to ceiling windows and the natural light is lovely. The upstairs has a large picture window and the entire south wall of the studio area is made up of two all glass paned roll-up garage-type doors so that one is able to get complete access to the out of doors. That double-height room also has a skylight a second bank of windows on the western wall and a glass door to the outside. With all these lighting conduits the studio room gets useable and lovely ambient natural light even on cloudy days. Sometimes, however, photographers use flash or reflectors for fill and the studio is equipped with two very large black and white reversible V flats and a copper/silver reflector disk for this purpose.

This house is surrounded by 1.29 acres of its own land but on Saturday nights and holidays loud parties can be heard at houses nearby. The property is not directly on a busy road, but is bounded on one side by a two-lane paved road which gets moderate traffic during the day. The central AC and the window AC in the studio room make a standard AC hum

Stairs, Ground Floor

There is a parking area above the house and a two-car garage. Equipment must be carried down one outside flight of stairs to get to the houses. The parking space has held as many as seven cars. It has also held one large equipment van and five cars. Parking is on my property so no moving is required to satisfy parking regulations

I have hosted a number of video and still shoots here with crews of about 15 people and people tend to designate one room -- sometimes its the dining room, sometimes the studio. One group set up their craft services table outside in a terraced area.

I do not know the answer to this question. There are at least two outlets in each room and the circuit breaker is in the pantry

No smoking inside the house Outside catering is allowed Kitchen use is allowed Treat the house like the historic relic that it is -- with great care and respect Artistic nudity is allowed but no porn shoots

Any of furniture or paintings or other fixtures can be moved if I agree ahead of time or am contacted and agree at the time. I ask that movers are extremely careful around my stone floors and wood walls.
