This beautiful house was built by a good local builder that fashioned the house out of nispero wood – a hard native wood that is almost bug proof and rich in color, and now very hard to find as well as very expensive. The house consists of two 24×24 ft floors inside.  The first floor has 1 bedroom and 1 bath guess bedroom. The kitchen and dining area are also  located on the first floor that measures 1600 sq ft with a 30×12 deck. A deck surrounds the house. A bonus to this floor is the home theater with a large 102 inch projection screen.

The second floor has the master bath and bathroom also has a wet bar. There is a deck off this room that offers spectacular Caribbean views.

The owner has the house furnished but will entertain dealing with certain pieces.   There are many new upgrades such as Whirlpool clothes dryer, LG washing machine, Mabe black propane stove , Kohler kitchen faucet , oversized Kohler soaking tub with Kohler fixtures on the master suite deck for built in vanity, Samsung white glass refrigerator, a glass Navy freezer as well as many smaller upgrades. Many nice add- ons!!!
