Originally built by Shell, this residence was completely renovated in 2006 under the architectural direction of Atelier Lobo & Raymann. The apartment was added in 2007, once again designed by the same architectural firm. Set on a spacious 1,490 m² leasehold lot surrounded by lush greenery, the property enjoys an exceptional setting. The result is a spacious villa with a distinct tropical character and a practical, well-designed layout.

Throughout the home, soaring ceilings of nearly four metres create a wonderful sense of space and openness. In addition to the traditional shutter windows and doors, the property features ventilation louvers that allow for continuous natural airflow. By opening the shutters, sliding doors and French doors, the refreshing Caribbean trade winds flow freely through the home, creating a pleasant indoor climate year-round.

When the large sliding doors and French doors are fully opened, the indoor and outdoor living areas blend seamlessly into one expansive living space. Adjacent to the living room is a cozy porch with custom-built seating, the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine while taking in the cooling breeze. The entire home is finished with beautiful Surinamese hardwood parquet flooring.

The spacious kitchen features a large cooking island, generous storage space and all the desired built-in appliances. It flows effortlessly into the covered outdoor dining area on the porch. The original tiled floor beautifully complements the hardwood flooring, window frames and doors, creating a warm and timeless atmosphere.

The generous covered porch offers ample space for both a dining area and a comfortable lounge. From here, you overlook the expansive tropical garden with its lush lawn, mature trees, tropical plants and a large swimming pool.

The swimming pool enjoys a sunny position within the garden. As a saltwater pool, it is low-maintenance and gentle on the skin. The water is chlorine-free and has a soft, natural feel. The entire pool system has recently been renewed. A deep well supplies water for the property, significantly reducing water consumption. After a refreshing swim, you can rinse off under the outdoor shower. Adjacent to the pool is a recently constructed palapa, offering a peaceful and private place to relax. The garden is equipped with a drip irrigation system that also operates using deep well water.

On the exterior of the home, there is a guest toilet as well as a spacious storage room.

The main residence offers four bedrooms and a generously sized bathroom. One of the bedrooms is currently used as a home office. All bedrooms are equipped with air conditioning.

The separate apartment, complete with its own living room, bedroom and bathroom, is ideal as a guest house, home office, private practice or rental unit. It also has its own porch and offers excellent privacy from the main residence.

At the front of the property, a spacious carport provides parking for two to four vehicles. The roof is fitted with 30 solar panels, significantly reducing energy consumption. For added peace of mind, the property is equipped with a comprehensive camera surveillance and alarm system. The roof has also been renovated and finished with a reflective white coating, helping to keep the interior cooler.
