House of the Week: $5.95 million for a film studio that was converted into a jaw-dropping home

Bragging Rights: Designed by artist Rose Lindzon with the help of Gordon Ridgely Architects, the space functions as both a home and a serene artist’s studio complete with natural light and a calming indoor fountain.

Big Selling Point: In its previous life as a film studio, the space was made completely soundproof. Disturbing your neighbours will be nearly impossible.

Possible Deal Breaker: The layout isn’t conventional, which means you may need to move your stuff around a few times before finding an arrangement that works.

By The Numbers: • $5,950,000 • $10,612 in property taxes (2013) • 4,995 square feet • 1,345-square-foot lower level • 20-foot ceilings • 3 bathrooms • 2 bedrooms • 2-car garage • 1 fireplace • 1 fountain • 1 elevator • 1 skylight
