Sea House East

Last week I was able to view one of my favourite properties in Bermuda. The property is called Sea House and it consists of a duplex apartment over four floors. I toured Sea House East. It is situated in an easterly parish and has views of the north coast in one direction and agricultural land over the other.

It is easily one of the most unique properties I've ever seen in Bermuda. A beautiful, solid front door opens to reveal a landing area. Short staircases with glass balustrades lead down to a den/bedroom with en suite wet room and up to the open-plan kitchen and dining area. Off the dining room is a small bonus room and french doors lead from the kitchen to a small walled-in outdoor area. More stairs lead to the next level which is a large, open-plan living room. I was surprised to note that although there are chimneys on the exterior of the property, there was no fireplace. French doors lead to a tiny balcony facing farmland off the living area. Another flight of stairs leads to the top floor, under the sloping roof and there are two bedrooms and two bathrooms, the master being en suite with the most amazing tub situated under one of the many circular windows which are a feature of the property.

It appears however that while the three lower floors were beautifully completed and outfitted, the top floor was inelegantly converted into two bedrooms and two bathrooms and therefore completely ruined my love for the property. The fact that there is absolutely no outside space (of which I was aware before viewing the property) and the state of the top floor would make it very difficult, but not impossible, for me to live there. There are some lovely water views though most of the townhouse faces agricultural land, a result of a major road abutting the property between the house and the coastline.

Being so close to the sea I also noticed signs of wear (rust) throughout the property. Considering it was built no more than three years ago, I also thought that was highly disappointing. The property is well within our price range and had it been in better condition I would probably have sacrificed the lack of outdoor space just for the pleasure of living in such a uniquely designed space.

Above is a picture of the beautiful master bath that I took during the tour as well as a link to an earlier review of the property which was posted here.
