It doesn’t get much better than Overboard.

The four-bedroom, five-and-a-half bathroom waterfront home sits on one of the “most protected inlets in Bermuda”, Tucker’s Town Cove.

Among its many amenities are a private dock, a pool and a self-contained guest cottage; it’s only minutes away from Mid Ocean Club and Tucker’s Point resort.

The Property Group is asking $11.5 million for the 9 Tucker’s Road home.

“This charming home, Overboard, is located on the shore of one of the most protected inlets in Bermuda,” said realtor Gill Butterfield.

“Occupying approximately half-an-acre in the prestigious residential community of Tucker’s Town, the home enjoys nearly 200 feet of waterfront.”

Overboard was built in 1928 and extensively renovated in the late 90s. Its present owners have ensured it has had “continual upkeep and renovations” since they bought it in 2012.

Entry is through wrought iron gates which are remotely controlled. Bougainvillea, Bermuda citrus, banana plants and coconut palms can all be found on the grounds.

“The highlight of the property, in addition to its location, is a private dock that can accommodate a boat up to 35 feet in length,” Mrs Butterfield said. “The dock is equipped with all the essentials, including bollards, bumper strips and a ship-to-shore power line to charge the boat’s battery — a feature that is truly a boater’s dream. Also on this lower waterside level, is a bricked courtyard and built-in barbecue making it a superb entertaining spot.”

The foyer offers “stunning views” of Tucker’s Town Cove, and there are water views from almost every room.

“There is a comfortable flow from the living room to the family room, dining room, bar area and kitchen,” said Mrs Butterfield.

“The kitchen was redesigned in the late 90s with light wood cabinetry and sunny Mexican tile. It is very accommodating with its breakfast nook and a back door that opens to the garden to pick fresh fruit for breakfast. All the main rooms open out on to a partially covered pool terrace, perfect for entertaining.

“From the family room, a staircase leads down to the fourth bedroom with en suite bath, a sitting room, and laundry room. This lower level with its own separate entrance is equally suitable as a guest suite and the sitting room area could easily be adapted to be a nanny annex.”

The home’s east wing has a built-in office with a fireplace, guest bathroom and a bedroom with en suite bath and fireplace. The master suite can also be found in the wing. It includes a sitting room/den, changing area, linen closet, walk-in closet, bedroom and bathroom.

“There is also a small bedroom with en suite bath, which is ideal for children’s bunk beds and gives a perfect solution to those families who want to have their youngsters close by,” the realtor said.

“Alternatively, for those who wish to have total privacy, this area could become another dressing room for the master suite.

“Adjacent to the main house, there is a bricked walkway that passes through a Bermuda moongate to a separate, self-contained guest cottage with bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette and a charming little porch overlooking the water.”
