St James, Gibbes, Barbados

"One of the few remaining private homes on the island designed by renowned architect, Ian Morrison, this lovely home is located within a quiet residential neighbourhood at Gibbs on the prestigious west coast of the island and sits on just over 11,000 sq.ft of land. Callia is a single level home offering three spacious bedrooms and open plan living areas opening to patios and the pool and gardens beyond, providing a seemless flow from the inside to the outside so typical of Caribbean living. The high vaulted ceilings, coralstone walls in two bathrooms and red clay floor tiles give Mediterranean touches to the Colonial style. The entry foyer opens to the formal dining and spacious living areas that lead on to a covered patio overlooking the pool terrace. The well-equipped kitchen adjoins the formal dining area. To the side of the kitchen a laundry room with ample storage connects the kitchen to the carport. On the north side is the original bedroom wing with the master en suite bedroom and a guest bedroom with a private enclosed garden, one of Ian Morrisonu2019s trademarks. There is also a separate bathroom. Originally a two bedroom home, a master suite with a sitting area was added a few years ago keeping with the original style of the home. This expansive room opens to a private patio that overlooks the garden and pool. Callia has been a private family home for many years and has been lovingly maintained. The gardens are lush with many mature tropical trees and flowering shrubs. There is a security system and the property is fully enclosed with electronic gates to the driveway and carport and a pedestrian gate to the garden. Callia is located just around the corner from beautiful Gibbs Beach which is an approximate 5-min walk away. Shopping and dining amenities are easily available in nearby Speightstown the northernmost town on the island. An approximate 15-minute drive south will take you to Holetown where there is a major supermarket, a mix of casual and fine dining restaurants as well as luxury shopping and a cinema at the Limegrove Mall. This is a u2018must seeu2019 home where you will be enchanted by the sounds of the birds and entertained by the monkeys."
