READY FOR MOVING IN.

House was rebuilt after Hurricane Maria exceeding hurricane resistant standards. The roof over the house is anchored into a steel rod reinforced ridge built around the outside of the house. Owners waited until they were able to purchase extra heavy, wind resistant, industrial grade galvanized steel roofing. They added a layer of heat insulation to help keep the house cool. Extra-long anchor screws and extra heavy tar paper were used to avoid leaks. The interior has vaulted, beamed ceilings throughout, with concrete block walls that rise to the roof, creating a solid anchor for the roof. This also creates a very large, open feel. 

Inside, the ceiling is individual wood slats with open beams for an elegant appearance. All rooms have high vaulted wood ceilings with upgraded ceiling fans with downlights. Crown molding circles the entire ceiling that hides the all new electrical wiring throughout the house. The entire house, inside and out, has been freshly painted. The interior is all white, again, creating a sense of open space. 

New custom doors were installed. All windows have screens. The hillside retaining wall behind the house was rebuilt in 2014. Interior doors, closets, and tile floors were remodeled in about 2006. The spacious kitchen is well equipped and has lots of cupboard space. 

 

 

 

 

 

Title is free and clear with no encumbrances. The house is owned through a corporation formed by current owners.  Alien landholding license fee can be avoided by simply transferring the corporation to the new owners.  So you get to enjoy substantial savings when you buy this house.

 

 

 

 

 

The window of this bedroom and the bedroom adjacent to it, both open out to a stunning view.

 

 

All 3 bedrooms are outfitted with spacious built-in closets.

The balcony roof is separate from the house roof, thereby providing additional protection to house roof in the event of a hurricane. Balcony roof is flat, steel rod reinforced concrete anchored into steel reinforced support posts. It has a wood panel ceiling underneath with ceiling lights to create a lovely appearance. The owners built a new balcony railing with a minimalist design to give the most open possible view when seated on the balcony.

This spacious covered L-shaped balcony is any entertainer's delight as it provides lots of room and best of all, an awesome view of the ocean and the capital city, Roseau.   You will enjoy relaxing on this balcony.

 

 

 

There is a garage with grille gate, which could be particularly useful if you use this property as a 2nd home as your vehicle will be sheltered and secure while off-island.  However, there is ample parking on the grounds for both you and guests while on island. 

There is a room right next to the garage which could be used as a study, gym or whatever else new owners desire.

 

 

 

 

One of the many things that you will love about this house is that it has a country feel but is located less than a 10-minute drive from the capital city, Roseau.

 

 

 

 

 

This house is just a few yards off the main road yet very private as it is nestled on the hill and accessible via private road and long driveway. 

There is a garden laden with bananas on this property.  Additional fruit trees can be found on the spacious grounds of this property.
