Under the Winter sun of the Bahamas, at Providence House

Escape the Winter doldrums and come seek shelter in the Bahamas, an archipaelago with a small taste of paradise, floating on the Caribbean Sea. This exotic destination, that was a backdrop for the first films of the James Bond saga, cumulates all the assets: coral reefs under the tropicss, white sand beaches, deep sea diving in crystal-clear waters, golfs of international scope and prestigious homesteads.

Providence House, a Bahamian house under the sun 

Bordering the Atlantic Ocean, Providence House, whose roof is reinforced by stainless steel rafters, in order to provide resistance in case of hurricanes, is one of its flagships, very close to Nassau, the Bahamian capital. On a 2300 m² plot of land, this handsome house in the colonial style perfectly combines symmetry and the contemporary sophistication of high-end finishing touches.

Dreaming of taking off for the Bermudas in the Bahamas

On 3 levels, it offers 1200 m² of living space. From the entrance, the vestibule leads to the library, the double living room or one of the 2 dining rooms. On the upper floor, the 5 large-sized rooms, each with a private bathroom and a dressing-room, overlook the veranda and the outdoor pool. Here you can work on your tan and swim year-round—all the dreams come true in Bermuda…

You will have all the space you need in the bedrooms that privilege bay windows as natural luminous sources. © DR
