‘Bella Fiore’ sits comfortably on a hillside on Flowercote Lane in Smith’s, where it is surrounded by the lush flowering gardens of this Harrington Hundreds neighbourhood — but it is the unparalleled views which make this house exceptional.

From the deck of a compact infinity pool, set at a high point on the property, those views are breathtaking.

Set on a small terraced lot with plenty mature trees and planting, the sense is, however, of a house on a much larger piece of property.

‘Bella Fiore’ has been completely renovated in the last few years to make it a tasteful, comfortable and modern home. This is a house to move straight into.

Step into the open plan living room, and the ambience is one of immediate comfort with warmth. Engineered cherry and pine wood floors, installed when the house was renovated, walls painted in a palate of saturated hues that work to differentiate between the kitchen, dining area and living room, coupled with light filtering through an abundance of white-framed windows, are the elements which make it bright and warm.

The windows also provide views that range from Harrington Sound and Castle Harbour beyond from the front of the house, with glimpses of Dockyard, the North Shore. Look back, and you can also see the South Shore.

The living area has two French doors that open onto a large bricked veranda, big enough for plenty of outdoor living and dining. From here, this property’s views of Harrington Sound, Castle Harbour and the North Shore beyond have their full impact.

Inside, a modern galley-style kitchen has plenty of storage and stainless steel appliances.

And there are two more light-infused bedrooms on this floor as well as a good-sized second bathroom.

The master bedroom with a Juliette-style balcony and en suite bathroom sit on a second, newly constructed top floor.

This bathroom, with tiny tiles in a splattering of blues that sit on a background of white, is spacious yet serene and features a jacuzzi and separate shower. The tiles are laid to create a ribbons of colour on the walls, and are stacked together in small square shapes to separate the large white floor tiles. A reef-blue glass sink completes the decor.

There is a library, a guest bath and separate laundry. And it’s also completely air-conditioned.

‘Bella Fiore’ also has an attractive one bedroom apartment that has also been equipped with modern appliances, a separate laundry closet and it has its own assessment number.
