Bagatelle On The Great Sound 27 Riddell's Bay Road, Warwick Parish, Bermuda WK04 Bermuda

Full of charm and potential, Bagatelle is one of the original homes in the exclusive residential enclave now known as Riddell's Bay Gardens & Nature Reserve, which is favoured for its 60+ acres of beautiful parkland, walking trails, and high-end estates - a veritable 'Tucker's Town of the West'. What began as a waterfront farmhouse in the early 1900s (when Bermuda was known colloquially as New York City's vegetable garden) grew along with the island's tourism industry to become an international-caliber vacation home prized by its current owners for over 50 years. As one of the smaller properties available to Non-Bermudian buyers, Bagatelle speaks softly. It is understated. Yet its position and views are spectacular, as are its aquamarine waters, deep-water dock, and sunsets. The coral entrance hall and bar lead to the generous sun room with access to a long waterside veranda and dock with boat slip. The living and dining room feature beamed ceilings, a raised wood-burning fireplace, and access to the veranda. The banquette-lined breakfast room adjoins the large kitchen and other utility spaces, which are well designed but ready for updating, The main floor is completed by a water-view bedroom, two bathrooms, and an internal access garage-cum-recreational room or fifth bedroom. Upstairs, a snug den with raised fireplace, a study with two walk-in closets, two guest bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and the master bedroom suite offer sparkling Great Sound, as well as parkland, views. Off the master suite, a covered terrace provides a shady, private corner for reading or afternoon tea. Beyond is the guest cottage, comprising a sitting room, bedroom, and two full bathrooms. An outbuilding for storage is a practical benefit of the delightful property. Within a short drive is famed Horseshoe Bay Beach, three grocery stores, restaurants, two private schools, and the Coral Beach & Tennis Club.
