Today there is little left of the days when Paradise Island was truly an island and could be accessed only by boat and the few homes that were located there truly represented the grandeur of a bygone era.....

Paradise Found is one of those homes.

The Grounds.

The main house, set in the middle of large sweeping grounds with 200 ft of beautiful beach on one side and Nassau Harbour on the other, is surrounded by epic super tall palm trees and lush tropical foliage. A large classically styled swimming pool is located on the harbour side of the home and makes an impressive entrance to the home as you enter from the dock. There are two, 2 bedroom guest cottages, one set on the beach and the other is closer to the harbour. Both have the same design with a large indoor lanai area facing the sea, and a kitchenette so that guests can take care of themselves if needed. In addition there is a "Boat House" on the harbor, located on the eastern boundary of the property, that accommodates the live- in staff. To the east of the Kitchen, off the main residence, is a separate service area where you will find the Laundry, and other service rooms, in addition to a staff common room. The property is accessed by water only and is serviced by an ample dock with over 200 ft of frontage on several fingers. Currently the dock would easily handle a 100 ft yacht and could be expanded if necessary for larger yachts.

The Residence

The main house exudes a simple elegance and a perfect design where virtually all rooms have a view out to the sea or the private pool area. Upon entry to the home you are greeted by a sweeping lanai that runs much of the length of the home. This south facing room is bathed in light and makes for a perfectly comfortable living area with a view of the pool and the harbour. Other main rooms include a large living room with a high "trayed" ceiling and a working fire place, a family room, and a classic study lined in cypress with exceptional mill-work all around with a delightful amount of detail. The Kitchen has been completely renovated and updated, 2010, and is now equipped with an 8 burner professional stove. There are 4 bedrooms in the main house in the west wing. Two are located downstairs and two upstairs. All have views of the Ocean or the harbour. The master suite faces oceanside and captures the "Old Bahamas" perfectly with french doors that flow out onto a covered balcony overlooking the beach and the ocean.

For anyone seeking a true estate property on Paradise Island or New Providence, this house must be seen.
