Tabebuia Terrace

Harbour Island, Eleuthera Bahamas

Tabebuia Terrace Harbour House – Original structure circa 1890, is a truly magical and charming Bahamian colonial home with beautiful details and situated on the prime waterfront in the heart of Dunmore Town. This Briland Gem of a home offers a most special setting - with 77ft on the harbour front and lot size of 8950sf. Tabebuia Terrace, an architectural masterpiece, was recently described by renowned architect Francisco 'Kiko' Sanchez (FGS Design), as the 'Grail' of Harbour Island historic homes, and is indeed eligible for special Historic Tax status and awaits an enlightened person to restore it to its former glory. Property Historical Tax status offers the new owner exemption from Real Property Tax over 20yrs, as well as exemptions on duties levied on imported building materials, an estimated added value of over $1m. The grounds have a number of tropical flowering trees and shrubs including a large Tabebuia tree at its center. This spectacular historic home built primarily of Abaco pine, is 3 floors with a loft type space at top floor that can accommodate an additional bedroom ideal for kids, an entertainment room or an office. An expansive covered porch on two sides - at the upper level - provides lovely views over the harbour and Dunmore Town waterfront. The property has ample space for a small pool and 1 bedroom pool house/guest bungalow. The dock pilings and dock are in good shape accommodating most vessels up to 50ft. Tabebuia Terrace Harbour House has a beautiful feel with a simple, pleasing and harmonious design to it. Tabebuia Terrace, first time on the market since 1967, is one of the preeminent historical homes on the island and it won't last long!
