Description
Introducing Hibiscus Hill, a sprawling estate set upon 3-acres encompassing a main 7,640 sq ft residence, a staff cottage and a separate two-bedroom orchard cottage. This home benefits from a tennis hard court, a large flat lawn ideal for garden parties, and a pool and split-level patio, perfect for al-fresco dining and further entertaining. Located in the 1,000+ acre gated golf-course community of Lyford Cay, Hibiscus Hill awaits along one of the quieter drives of the private community. The entrance of the main residence opens to a double height great room with coffered ceilings, great for formal gatherings. The ground floor central gallery on the East side leads to a large kitchen, which shares an open floor plan with a family room that looks out to the tiered grounds of the property, pool and tennis court beyond. In the corner of the kitchen is a cozy breakfast nook, next to one of two staircases in the home. For more formal gatherings, the generously sized dining room can be closed off from the kitchen when hosting guests. The East wing also offers a ground floor laundry-room, one of two in the home, with a mudroom that leads to a 2-car garage with a third parking bay for a golf cart. Across the ground floor, on the opposing side of the great room, is a large master bedroom, with a double-sink ensuite and a his-and-her walk-in closet. Opposite that is a home office, which if desired, can be converted into a cozy den. The main staircase leads to an open landing that looks upon the great room below. To the West are two large bedrooms connected by a charming jack-and-jill bathroom, each featuring their own walk-in closets and French doors that open to covered balconies. To the east of the second-floor gallery-landing, you are led past a third bedroom, complete with its own ensuite bathroom and ample closet space. An additional family room separates this bedroom from the fourth, which features a south facing balcony, a generous walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom. Adjacent to the second floor sitting room is an additional laundry room, a true luxury. A large and spacious bonus room, steps from the sitting room, offers unlimited potential for a children’s playroom - as it is currently used - second office, or conversion to an in-home gym, among many other possibilities. Located in the estate’s orchard, where fruit trees thrive and a fire-pit beckons, is a private wooden ‘island style’ cottage. Set back from the main residence, the sleeping quarters of the 2-bedroom/2-bathroom cottage are connected by a shared living space that opens to a covered porch. The separate 2-story cottage, located near the home, offers overflow storage and a backup generator, with a staff apartment above. Offered at US$6,200,000 this property provides, by far, the best value of any home currently listed for sale in Lyford Cay.
