Description

For International Purchasers seeking to create their perfect Bermuda waterfront haven within the island's most exclusive residential enclave, At Last offers tremendous opportunity. Vacant freehold waterfront building lots simply do not exist on the Tucker's Town peninsula. Presiding over its own promontory on Castle Harbour with a delightfully private setting and superb existing private boating facilities, At Last is essentially a 1.4-acre site that includes a well design, single-level home of over 6000 sf -- now in need of renovation or rebuild. The clear turquoise sea is sand-bottomed here, perfect for swimming and snorkelling. Boat lovers will appreciate the dock, dock house, slip, and especially the substantial breakwater which enhances calm in the cove. A sandy beach -- just right for young children -- appears at lower tides. For golfers and beach lovers, the private Mid-Ocean and Tucker's Point clubs are within an easy walk or golf-cart ride. The existing residence - though in need of updates -- is spacious and light, and includes five-to-seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms. A walled courtyard is a charming prelude to the generously proportioned firelit living room and formal dining room with large picture windows, high tray ceilings, and hardwood floors. The harbour room, once an outdoor terrace, offers immense ­water views and direct access to the shoreline. A sunroom leads through cedar doors to the kitchen with two islands and a breakfast area. Superior views and a wood-burning fireplace are the ­centerpieces of the master bedroom suite. The east bedroom wing may serve as separate guest quarters, while a spiral staircase descends to the lower level with its own kitchen and a wine room. For those who prefer to rebuild, David Benevides of Benevides & Associates, one of Bermuda's leading architectural firms, has designed an impressive new residence and guest cottage for the At Last site totaling 13,650 sq. ft, plans for which may be made available upon request.
