Bridgetown, St Michael, Barbados

This classic coral stone property in Pine Gardens, St. Michael, is a quintessential executive residence. Its "upside-down" layout-placing the main living areas and primary suite on the upper level-is a clever architectural choice for the Caribbean, as it maximizes cooling breezes and offers better views of the pool and gardens from the social spaces.
The lower level of the property offers 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 2 family rooms, an office or a 3rd bedroom and a fully self-contained 1-bedroom 1-bath apartment.
The upper level offers a galley kitchen, breakfast nook, living & dining rooms, a covered patio with wet bar and powder room overlooking the swimming pool and jacuzzi. The primary suite (ensuite + walk-in closet), 2 additional bedrooms and a bathroom are also on the level.
Other features include a backup generator and water storage tanks for self-sufficiency, fully enclosed and landscaped grounds with electric gate access and a paved driveway with ample car parking space. Pine Gardens is one of St. Michael's most established and prestigious "central" neighborhoods. Its appeal lies in its proximity to both the diplomatic/commercial hubs and the leisure districts. Walking distance to the Canadian High Commission; minutes from the US Embassy and the Wildey commercial corridor. Close to top-tier private schools and under 10 minutes from the South Coast's best beaches (such as Carlisle Bay or Accra), fine dining and other amenities.
