The Great Room is painted a cool gray lavender, the color of the British Virgin Islands and the sea at dawn and dusk, which you see through six louvered mahogany French doors. All the mahogany doors and windows were handmade on St. John. The floor is imported Italian Limestone which gives the feel of age and permanence. There is a vaulted kingpost ceiling over the sitting area which has two very comfy sofas, perfect for watching a movie on the 50" screen. Or you may prefer choosing something to read from a collection of over 200 books of contemporary fiction - most award winners and best sellers of the past ten years. Original paintings by well known St. John artists hang throughout the house. Also off the great room is a small office with desk, fax machine and more books. A guest bath is adjacent. From the kitchen door it is a short walk across the pergola covered terrace with its fragrant night blooming jasmine to the master bedroom suite. The pale grey walls, white woodwork and mahogany floors and doors give a serene setting for the St. Croix four poster mahogany bed. The screened porch has a rocker and an armchair. The bathroom has a large screened outdoor shower with a magnificent ocean view. There is a large walk-in closet for all your island attire. The lower level of the house includes two large bedrooms each with a unique bathroom and walk-in closet. The "Rock Bedroom" has a view of the giant stone. The king-size bed is a copy of a plantation bed. In the Mahogany armoire is another 40" TV. The pale peach walls glow as light filters through the mahogany louvered doors. The kitchen is designed for serious cooking with a Decor Gas Stove, Sub Zero Refrigerator and a very quiet Bosch Dishwasher. The white custom made cupboards with red hand glazed tile counter tops are filled with all the important and not so important kitchen equipment from William-Sonoma. Off the kitchen is a pantry for storage of large pots, pans, and picnic equipment. The "Pool Bedroom" has a king-size sleigh bed. The room is painted soft green to reflect the tropical woods which surround the house. It has white woodwork, ceiling and ceramic floor. There is a big comfortable wicker chair and footstool. The bathroom is wonderful with a large shower with mahogany louvered doors which open to the hillside garden. |
