A tumble of colourful bougainvillea over the wooden picket fence offers immediate kerb appeal for this unusual home, nestled in the quiet community of Rodney Heights, just minutes away from the busy commercial and touristic centre of Rodney Bay.
Brimming with character, the curved facade of Blue Mahoe Villa rises above its double automatic gate, which leads down sweeping curved steps to the tiled front patio surrounded by pretty landscaping and colourful shrubs. A second staircase from the street is flanked by charming columns and natural wood balusters, providing easy pedestrian access.
Once inside, it's clear where property gets its name from: Hibiscus elatus or blue mahoe is a timber tree common in the Caribbean and renowned for its bluish green colour. Throughout Blue Mahoe Villa, this striking local wood is featured in built-in cabinetry and unique design elements.
The bright, spacious, open plan living area flows from lounge to dining to kitchen, enhanced by gleaming ceramic floor tile, pickled wood cathedral ceilings with exposed rafters, and striking chandelier and sconce lights.
Double French doors protected by artistic, wrought iron gates, lead to an attractive curved balcony offering a calm neighbourhood vista and generous space for outdoor lounging and dining.
A comfortable TV area and formal dining area - currently occupied by the owner's baby grand piano - lead past the tiled breakfast bar to the villa's curved eat-in kitchen which has copious amounts of storage and display cabinetry above and below the black granite counter tops.
The kitchen walls are completely tiled in faux natural stone that adds to the rustic feel of the interior design, while brushed stainless steel triple sinks and faucets complement the modern appliances. A full guest bathroom with glass shower, granite vanity and marble sink is adjacent.
Off the kitchen, blue mahoe details continue in the banisters around the staircase leading to the lower floor and sleeping accommodation.
With cathedral ceilings and ceramic tiled flooring throughout, the L-shaped Master Bedroom has a signature wall of stained blue mahoe closetry offering a visually stunning feature as well as tons of practicality. The spacious en suite bathroom features a corner jacuzzi tub-with-a-view, glass enclosed shower, and granite topped vanity with vessel sink and blue mahoe cabinetry.
A spacious queen bedroom and generous single with floor to ceiling closets offer plenty of space for family and share a well-appointed bathroom with shower and tub, while the upstairs balcony offers a clear view of neighbouring Mount Pimard.
At the top of a spiral staircase, the villa boasts a unique, circular bonus room perfect for a home office, gym or relaxing den.
