Inspired by the traditional Dutch Colonial Caribbean influenced architecture found on the island of Bermuda, this 2011 built, LEED Platinium Certified dwelling, finds itself right at home in the coveted waterfront community of Harbor Acres. The creative team behind this unique and beautiful residence consists of Josh Wynne construction, Kurt Lucas interior designs, and Michael Gilkey landscape architect. The home lies behind a majestic Cuban-Laurel tree providing both shade and privacy. The interior has an arts and crafts feel with extensive woodwork and built-ins including hand-scrapped espresso wood floors throughout. Many of the beamed ceilings are covered with pecky cypress and cedar wood. The goal was to create an environment of understated elegance that although traditional, would feature crisp, clean lines, and a soft, tropical feeling. Downstairs includes a den, powder room, living room, dining room, kitchen, and guest bedroom with attached bathroom. Upstairs includes a family room, laundry room, master bedroom/ bathroom suite with 12 foot cathedral ceilings and a private balcony, two additional guest bedrooms, and a shared guest bathroom. The grounds are beautifully landscaped featuring olive, magnolia, and Egyptian cypress trees. Enjoy the paver walkways that meander throughout the backyard past the open pool, gas heated spa, and covered trellis that provides shade while enjoying the outdoor space. The location is second to none close to downtown, Southside Village, and the beaches.
