Hillcrest

Description

This delightful, traditional Bahamian home is positioned high on a hilltop with stunning, commanding panoramic views of the sea and surrounding islands. Set within the established community of Winton Heights, the residence sits on approximately 1 acre of land, with a classical terraced garden having mature trees and landscaping. This beautiful home features 3 bedrooms, and two full bathrooms with the master bedroom suite and the second bedroom benefiting from sweeping ocean views. The main entryway is an elegantly designed foyer, itself having unobstructed seascape views with an outside entertaining ocean-facing terrace. The open and generously proportioned living room boasts 10-foot-high ceilings with a large brick-built active wood-burning fireplace, anchoring the room, with the original mantelpiece and extended chimney breast. The kitchen is conveniently located adjacent to the private and separate dining room which in turn leads to the private rear terrace of the home, making this a perfect place for outdoor entertaining and evening dinner parties. There is an abundance of natural light and space in this home together with impressive space in the garden for additional amenities to be incorporated such as a pool and accompanying entertaining pavilion. Beneath the house, there is a one-car garage with a dedicated bathroom, ideal for convenient use by a groundsman. The property would make a wonderful family residence as it has always been used. Alternatively, with its generous space and attributes and being located less than a block from the ocean, close to public beach access this property would make an ideal short-term rental investment property. Additionally, the home includes an automatic backup generator and a rainwater tank. The property is offered unfurnished.
