Property Description

This is a 3 bedroom home with 2 apartments. It is in Bonne Terre, one of the most desirable locations for residential real estate in Saint Lucia. Bonne Terre is a quiet and scenic suburb, a stone’s throw away from all the main amenities in the north of the island. The Rodney Bay marina and Rodney Bay village are both 5 minutes’ drive. Here you will find a variety of restaurants, shopping facilities and everything you need for a convenient lifestyle. There are also beaches very close by. Pigeon Island and Reduit, considered 2 of the island’s most beautiful beaches are both 5 minutes from the property. For golf lovers, there is an 18 hole golf course 10 minutes away in Cap Estate. 

The house is very easily accessible via a long driveway which leads to a 2 car garage. There is more than enough parking space for a handful of vehicles. There is a relatively flat front yard with a stone pathway to the main entrance. The yard is well landscaped with tropical plants that accentuate the home’s character and make a welcoming first impression. The carpet grass, with its soft touch and low maintenance needs, is a personal favourite. 

The foyer has an arched stone facade, which is, at once, charming and grand. The stone is complemented by iron railings that give the space a classy feel. This front space doubles as a patio, which can be used for entertaining visitors or simply enjoying the garden view.  The foyer, with its indoor/ outdoor living and rustic architecture, is an impressive and functiona;l entrance to the home.

The living room is the central space in the house, flanked by the dining room and kitchen to the right and the bedroom wing to the left. Tall, towering ceilings with open rafters draw the eye upward, where you are greeted by an influx of natural light from the rows of skylights along the boarders of the room. 2 sliding doors separate the living room from the balcony. These let in additional sunlight, making the space airy and pleasant. This is a grand space for large get togethers or close family time. 

The balcony faces west and enjoys a lively view of Pigeon Island and the Caribbean Sea. Approximately 10 ft in width, the balcony offers an indispensable outdoor space for enjoying the lush surroundings. From here, you overlook the back garden, which has numerous mature fruit trees.  The balcony wraps around the living room and provides ample space for eating, entertaining or just chilling. It is one of the key features of the property. 

There is a formal dining room to the left of the living room. The space accommodates a large china cabinet as well as a dining table with seating for 4. The table is symmetrically placed beneath the chandelier, and facing the balcony. 

The kitchen is adjacent to the dining room. The granite countertops reflect the overhead pendant lights, giving the kitchen a ‘wow’ upon entry. There is a large, centre island  which provides storage and work space. There is additional storage in the numerous overhead cupboards as well as a large pantry. Details such a a built in plate rack show the thought that went into designing the house. The kitchen also has access to the outside. A door leads to a spacious courtyard, which is convenient for odds and ends such as clotheslines and tools. The courtyard connects to the front garden, which gives easy access to the kitchen. 

Back inside, the next rom adjacent to the kitchen is a TV lounge. This is a great space for getting cozy with loved ones. The lounge connects to the wrap around balcony, which gives the home a nice flow. This house therefore has numerous spaces, which cater to the needs of the entire family. 

The bedrooms are to the left of the living room. This level contains 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. The master suite is very spacious and boasts a walk in closet with generous storage space. There is an en-suite bathroom as well as a private balcony where you can enjoy peaceful mornings or beautiful sunsets. 

The 2 additional bedrooms share a bathroom. In addition, there is a powder room for guests. There is also a very large linen closet in the hallway. In a house this grand there can never be too much storage space. While the house is very well maintained, the bedrooms require retiling - a minor upgrade which allows you to put your personal touch on the home. 

The lower level of the house contains 2 apartments. While these are both separate and self-contained, they are also accessible from the main house via a stairway. The stairs lead to a landing with a locked door to each apartment. The apartments may therefore serve as entirely separate rental units. They may also be useful as guest suits which expand the living space of the main house for visiting family. 

The apartments contain 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom respectively. The property therefore has 6 bedrooms in total. The apartments both have independent living and dining rooms and are pleasantly spacious. With such a desirable location, the apartments are excellent for rental income either on the long or short term rental markets. 

The apartments have access to a large patio to the back of the property. This is another wow feature as it provides ample space for guests to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The patio overlooks a garden with mature trees including mango, avocado and coconut. 

All in all, this is an impressive property. The well mnaintained house boasts old world charm and large rooms. There is a lovely sea view. The property is private, serene and has a spacious lot with ample parking. The 2 apartments are a huge bonus. It is well located in the north of the island, a short drive away from amenities.
