HouseNassau (The Bahamas)

Perched atop a picturesque hill, this charming historic home boasts traditional Bahamian architecture and panoramic views of the sea and surrounding islands.
Nestled within the quaint Winton Highway community, “Hillcrest” benefits from approximately 1 acre of land, complete with a timeless terraced garden speckled with mature fruit trees.
The ideal canvas for a visionary, Hillcrest boasts strong bones, historic notes and ample space to incorporate a pool and guest cottage. The carefully considered footprint offers 3 bedrooms, and two full bathrooms, with the master bedroom suite and the second bedroom both benefiting from sweeping ocean views. The main entryway is an elegantly designed foyer, itself offering 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 to dine al fresco.
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 grounds man. The property would make a wonderful family residence as it has always been used. Alternatively, with its generous space 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.
