Lovingly maintained by a single owner, the home has weathered hurricanes since its construction in 1980 with little damage. Caribbean-style wooded exterior shutters in arches with additional accordion hurricane shutters for other doors and windows provide protection and peace of mind. A concrete outbuilding protects the masssive 32 KW generator (2021) and 500-gallon diesel tank. An automatic transfer switch provides near seamless power. Two cisterns provide water for all uses. The driveway off the low-traffic private street is protected with a remote-controlled gate, and the property is fenced. The living room is entered at grade from the parking area and is a half-level above the dining room and kitchen, which is a half-level above the main bedroom, full bath with tub, walk-in closet, a storage closet, a utility room with washer and dryer, and an enclosed porch area with a large shower. Below this floor are two bedrooms connected by a shared bath. There are five split-system air conditioning units in living and sleeping areas. The lowest floor is reached by exterior stairs and has a bath with shower, a sitting area with a countertop and sink, and a bedroom with a separate door to a private micro-deck. There is an additional storage area accessible from the exterior stairway. A brief drive to Havensight and Downtown shopping, dining, and services, the home is a short walk to the Westin Frenchman's Reef Resort and Marriott Frenchman's Cove and Buoy Haus Resorts with a variety of restaurants and boutiques, two beaches, and a spa. The picturesque neighborhood is filled with multi-million dollar residences. Very few homes without pools are offered for sale in this neighborhood, and inventory in this price range is historically low in St. Thomas. With its desirable location, privacy, and lovely views, this unique property is worthy of consideration.
