Charlestown, St Kitts and Nevis

A rare opportunity to become a homeowner in the sought after neighborhood of Spring Hill. Longview has only been owned by two families since it was built. It combines all the elements of what life in Nevis encompasses; magical views over the Caribbean Sea towards the island of St Kitts, privacy with a large lot planted with tropical species and traditional architecture capturing the essence of island life.

The charming lane that veers off the Main Island Road ends at the start of a hiking trail meandering its way to an old estate. A handful of villas line both sides of the road, each uniquely designed. Nevis’ main beaches, best restaurants and activities are just a couple of minutes away.

The owners of Longview have preserved the original character and authentic features of the house. The large openings, screened, embrace the panoramic sights, the Western and Eastern verandas offer alternative sitting areas to keep cool during the sunny hours, enjoy the year-round sunsets as well as the majestic Nevis Peak. High ceilings carry the heat assisted by the interior wooden trellis reaching the roof.

The villa has been connected to an elevated pool surrounded by a large sundeck and a cool outdoor sitting/dining gazebo for al fresco meals and guests’ entertainment.

The original construction materials and the more recent upgrades have been carefully selected to ensure minimal maintenance and longevity in a tropical climate.

Kitchen/Living area: A single staircase leads to two separate entrances to the house. The back door opens to the kitchen and the second door to the living space.
The kitchen recently redecorated in playful colors of bright pink and pale with neutral countertops is large with ample counterspace and plenty of cabinetry. A walk-in pantry provides additional storage.

Facing West and running the length of the house, are the dining and sitting rooms plus a multi-purpose area that is used alternatively as a sleeping quarter and a relaxation spot. Furnished with island décor in mind, wooden furniture, plush chairs and sofas, colorful accent pieces create a pleasing and comfortable space.

Life in the tropics is spent outdoors unless inclement weather forces one inside. The dining space connects to the kitchen and is simply set with a table and chairs as well as a wet bar.

The Bedrooms and Bathrooms are positioned on the North-Eastern side, the bedrooms benefit from the cooling breezes and are sheltered from the hottest hours of the day.
Guest Bedroom: Good-sized room with built-in cabinetry and closet. Large windows bring in light and natural ventilation. Air conditioning and ceiling fan.

Guest Bathroom: Tropical colors with a hand painted wall create a fun, exotic guest bathroom. It is equipped with a shower and handbasin.

Master Bedroom: Large master furnished with a king size four poster bed and its own private veranda, perfect for reflective morning coffees or taking in the hottest time of the day admiring the views of Nevis Peak.

Plenty of built-in cabinets and closets and a separate owners’ lock up closet. Ceiling fan. The ensuite bathroom has been redecorated and has a shower and a single vanity.
The ground floor level combines a large garage, workshop, laundry room and powder room.
