Renovations to a 1950 rancher in the Montclair neighborhood just north of West University a dozen years ago added a wide open upper level studio-dance hall outfitted for meditation (top). The Eat-Pray-Lease property offered up its zen as the year began. Located north and east of Weslayan Plaza, the singular retreat is asking $6,200 a month, and offering short-term leasing terms. Whether the furnishings come with is negotiable.

Overlooking the back yard, that light-and-breezy room’s exterior wall of glass panel doors brings nature a bit closer:

Each of the 3 bedrooms has a private bathroom; 2 of them are on the first floor. The master suite is one of them. Sets of tall windows fill one of the corners:

The lacy sconce on the landing once helped enlighten the former Shamrock Hotel.

A remodeling shortly after the turn of the century tweaked the first floor and topped it with this soaring (and supported) 1,500-sq.-ft. studio:

Its deep balcony at tree canopy height . . .

looks over portions of the 6,532-sq.-ft. lot:

Showings of the property won’t be offered until January 17.
