Retreat - Under Offer

Retreat is a contemporary 4,000 sq ft home located in Heywoods, St. James, resting on approximately 32,956 sq. ft. of land. It abounds a dramatic gully and is nestled perfectly in a quiet residential area.

On the exterior, the innovative use of antique and reclaimed materials makes an impressive statement. At the front door are commanding pillars, that were fabricated from materials reclaimed from old sugar cane factories in Barbados. The bricks used to construct the path leading to the front door and the downstairs terrace were salvaged from ships. These bricks were used as ballast from the 18th century.

Indoors, the main level is home to the master bedroom suite which features a dresser, antique doors and a bed imported from Indonesia. Wrought iron also salvaged from old sugarcane factories are on all the windows throughout the home. 3 guest bedrooms and 1 guest bathroom also occupy this level.

The upstairs sitting room has a bookcase imported from the Middle East; this room leads onto the upper deck. A central staircase with Victorian-style railings leads down to the lower level. Under the staircase is a waterfall which previously housed a Koi pond. Imposing antique teakwood doors from Indonesia open out to the spacious terrace which overlooks the garden and wooded gully beyond. A gazebo adjoins the pool terrace where a brick pizza oven is ideally positioned, perfect for entertaining. Approximately 14,000 sq. ft. of the property is enclosed. This incorporates an entrance wall with electronic gates. This property also has a double car garage, a monitored alarm system and security cameras.
