Cabin Heights sits at the end of a quiet drive in Hamilton Parish. The historic home started as a tiny cottage at 7 Savannah Road 300 years ago.

Five bedrooms, a gourmet kitchen and a “sizeable” covered porch are now spread over two storeys and 3,000 square feet.

Cabin Heights is listed with Rego Sotheby’s International Realty for $1.695 million.

“Secluded at the end of a quiet drive in Hamilton Parish is Cabin Heights, an historic home full of charm and character,” said realtor Ben Rego. “Stroll along the brick pathway to the entryway which was once a 300-year-old cottage that now makes up the foyer of this spacious 3,000-square-foot home.”

An “abundance of modern improvements” have increased the property’s appeal: the gourmet kitchen has granite countertops, new stainless steel appliances and a breakfast nook; there’s new windows and shutters, wiring and plumbing and solar panels

“The layout is an entertainer’s dream, with new French doors opening to a sizeable 288-square-foot covered porch overlooking the ocean,” Mr Rego added. “The lower level also features a laundry and powder room, as well as a guest bedroom with an en suite bathroom.

On the second floor, there are four large bedrooms with soaring ceilings as well as a cosy office.

The master bedroom is significant in scale with an en suite bathroom, walk-in closet and doors leading out to another, private 288-square-foot covered patio with unparalleled water views to Dockyard. With its remarkable mature grounds, this property is an ideal family home offering quaint touches of a traditional Bermuda cottage with contemporary improvements demanded by today’s luxury homeowner.”

Hamilton is only a 15-minute drive away; the property is within walking distance of the Railway Trail, grocer and a playground.
