Contemporary-styled with strong Oriental accents, Retreat House rests on approximately 32,956 sq. Ft. Of land, abiding with a dramatic gully. Situated perfectly in a quiet residential area, this substantial property is within a short drive of the fabulous beach by Port St. Charles. The innovative use of antique and reclaimed materials makes an impressive statement on the exterior.
The bricks used to construct the path leading to the front door and the downstairs patio were salvaged from ships used as ballasts in the 18th century. At the front door, commanding pillars are fabricated from materials reclaimed from sugar cane factories in Barbados.
Indoors, the main level is home to the principal bedroom suite, which features a dresser, antique doors and a bed imported from Indonesia, and wrought iron salvaged from sugarcane factories on all the windows in the house. Three guest bedrooms and one guest bathroom also occupy this level.
The upstairs sitting room with a bookcase imported from the Middle East leads to the upper deck, while 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.
A bathroom and spacious living and dining space are also located on the lower level. The dining room features a reclaimed wood table imported from the Middle East and chairs from Indonesia, and it is entirely separate from the TV room. An added seating area is next to the open-plan kitchen, and a storeroom and laundry room also occupy this story. Imposing antique Teakwood doors from Indonesia open out to the spacious patio, with complementing antique Teakwood furniture, overlooking the garden and wooded gully beyond. A gazebo adjoins the pool terrace where a brick pizza oven is ideally positioned, perfect for entertaining.
Also worthy of note, approximately 14,000 sq. Ft. Of the property is enclosed and incorporates an entrance wall with electronic gates. There is a double-car garage, an electric fence, a monitored alarm system, and security cameras. The home is being sold partially furnished.
