This Eastern Road hilltop estate is a Bahamian classic and is truly tropical living at its finest, from the native stone-walled entrance to the sparkling tile Mediterranean pool, Koi pond and lush gardens. The residence is situated on almost a half an acre with stunning views of Montague Bay and Paradise Island. Entered through magnificent double mahogany and glass doors, the home encompasses 5,283 square feet of luxurious living space on three levels. On the ground floor we find a cozy two bedroom, one bath guest apartment with living/dining room.

The apartment can easily be re-incorporated into the main dwelling. Amenities in the unit include central air conditioning, a sliding window wall leading onto a large covered porch, double sink bath and fully-equipped kitchen with reverse osmosis system.

 A covered veranda with seating areas and equipped bar runs the length of the residence and embraces views of the pool, Montague Bay and fabulous Paradise Island. These stunning views are also enjoyed from the living room, dining room and master suite. Accessible from the master suite, the veranda is the perfect spot for early morning coffee and contemplating sunrises.

Through glass French doors in the kitchen there is a dining terrace overlooking the Koi pond, waterfall and gardens, the perfect venue for al fresco dining and entertaining.

This area could be converted into a large additional bedroom.

The space enjoys incredible views through a wall of north-facing windows and from the balcony accessed through a sliding glass door. This level of the home also features a roomy storage area and attic space.
