My Sweet Pad # 1: Rachel Paxton


Helping people discover their niche and settle into a home that is uniquely their own is what makes being a real estate agent satisfying and a great joy for me at times.

Rachel had lived in JP part-time for years - alternating between a small condo in JP and her home on the Vineyard where she has created a thriving business selling her paintings and painting custom commissions. But -- she yearned for a place in JP where she could live and paint and had been looking on and off for years for something in her price range that could work. I came across the Union St house and thought of her immediately because the first floor was already semi-gutted and potentially perfect for a painting studio. Still, when I saw how cleverly she closed up some windows for a 'painting wall' and lit it to her precise needs - and added a few windows to each side of the room for more natural light - I couldn't get over what a perfect work space it became.


I sold this house tucked away on Union Ave in JP to an artist - Rachel Paxton - and I can't get over how she transformed every square inch of the place. Let's just say the trim wasn't hot pink when she bought it..among other things. The decor of the interior rooms are all done in a 50's mod theme.
