Property Description

Rodney Heights is one of the most sought after residential locations in Saint Lucia. The popularity of the area is due to its proximity to the best amenities in the north of the island. There are numerous beaches nearby, including Pigeon Island and Reduit. These are often described as Saint Lucia’s most beautiful beaches and are both less than 5 minutes from this house. Pigeon Island national landmark is the island’s only national park. With its stunning views, calm swimming areas and historical walks, the park is a must visit! Perhaps what makes Rodney Heights most appealing, is its proximity to Rodney Bay. This is the main commercial town in the north of Saint Lucia and is home to shopping malls, restaurants, bars, a marina with waterfront dining and a plethora of other conveniences. This property is a short walk to the main road, which makes it convenient and easily accessible. This is as close as it gets to central, urban living on this laid back Caribbean island. 

This central location makes this property an ideal choice for buyers who want to be close to it all. It also means that this property presents a unique opportunity for rental investments. With 6 bedrooms divided among 3 units, the house offers flexibility for persons interested in long or short term rentals. The vacation rental market in particular, is hungry for apartments that are within walking distance to amenities. Apartments in the area generally command high occupancies and nightly rates. 

The 2 story structure comprises the main house on the top floor. This contains 3 bedrooms, 3 and a half bathrooms. Sitting on 3,830 SQFT, the upper level is a spacious, if not grand, abode. Downstairs, there are 2 self contained units. The smaller apartment contains 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom. The larger comprises 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom. Each unit has its own kitchen, living room and dining room. 

The entrance to the main level is via a flight of stairs which leads to the front balcony or to the kitchen. The balcony is very spacious and would more appropriately be termed an outdoor living room. It accommodates dining and lounge furniture and is an ideal space for entertaining or al-fresco living! The cool breeze and scenic view of Rodney Bay make an excellent first impression to the home. 

The main living room is adjacent to the balcony. You access this via 2 large doors with a glass boarder. With the doors open, there is an easy flow between the living room and balcony. The living room has a high ceiling, which keeps the house cool. The exposed rafters are a charming architectural detail. It is a very spacious, bright and airy room. 

The kitchen is huge and includes a centre island with a sink and stovetop. There is also a breakfast bar with stools. The kitchen has a striking design with black granite countertops accentuated by white cabinets and grey floor tiles. There is lots of countertop space for food preparation, as well as numerous cabinets for storage. This is an ideal space for someone who loves to prepare home cooked meals for family and friends. 

There is a dining room adjacent to the kitchen. It contains more than enough space for a 6 seater dining table and a large china cabinet. This is a well appointed space, right off the kitchen, with a seamless flow between the meal preparation and eating areas. 

A handful of steps and a wide hallway lead to a lounge. This is a nice bonus space which allows different family members to have separate entertainment areas. This room also has French doors which give access to the back yard. There are stairs which connect the back yard to the front of the property. This room can therefore be accessed independently. Given its large size and separate access, the lounge may be converted to a studio, if a buyer wants to maximise rental opportunities. 

The oversized master bedroom has a walk-in closet, ensuite bathroom and private balcony. The 2 additional bedrooms are both very large. Each has its own bathroom and 1 has access to the main balcony. 

The apartments downstairs are accessed via separate entrances. The apartments are finished to a high standard and are very welcoming. They both have a kitchen, living room and dining area with an open floor plan. The bedrooms are bright, comfortable and have built in closets. 

The property comes with just under 10,000 SQFT of land. It is fully fenced with an automatic front gate, driveway and 2 car garage. There is ample parking space. The property is well maintained. 

Overall, this is a spacious and well kept home with attention to detail. The rental apartments are an excellent feature and there is potential to increase the rental space.
