Attractive pricing and a nearly $100,000 reduction in price make two homes in a quiet Warwick neighbourhood a must see for house-hunters.Surrounded by a dozen mature fruit trees, cedars, and gardens with roses, hibiscus, orchids and even a cotton tree, Dreamsend is located off quiet Burnt House Hill, close to grocery stores and schools and with easy access to either Middle Road or Harbour Road to and from Hamilton.It is listed with Coldwell Banker Bermuda Realty.The three-bedroom one-bath cottage, which needs some TLC and modernising, was built in 1955 by the original owner with her late husband, at a time when it was unheard of for women to work in construction at all.For a 1,470-square-foot home, Dreamsend has lots of storage space, including a pantry, basement storage, large closets and a separate laundry room. It has a living room with fireplace, dining room and kitchen, and opens out on to a wooden deck overlooking the back yard. At the side is a carport. Though ageing, the home is kept tidy and spotless and has been lovingly cared for.The owner’s late husband was known for his horticultural skills and often taxi drivers would stop by the cottage with guests for a tour of the grounds when they were at their finest.Planted on the 0.219 acre are several varieties of avocados trees, a mango tree, pawpaws, several peach trees, a guava tree, a pomegranate tree, citrus trees, bananas and grapevines. The gardens also have a Bermuda moongate and lovely lily pond.The agent says the owner is looking for a family that will cherish the property as much as she and her family have over the past more than 50 years of living there.Dreamsend is listed at an asking price of $785,000.Farther down the peaceful lane is 11 Burnt House Hill, a 2,000-square-foot family home in move-in condition, also listed with Coldwell Banker Bermuda Realty.The home has a three-bedroom, two-bath main house with a large one-bedroom apartment below, perfect as an in-law suite or rental income.Asking price for the recently renovated and freshly painted home is $1,050,000, reduced from $1,130,000.The house has been upgraded within just the last few years and features new electrical, lighting, appliances, baths, windows, exterior blinds, and floors. The kitchen was also renovated and has granite counters, and stainless steel appliances, as well as an island for the family to gather. There is split a/c throughout.The master bedroom is 12’ by 12’, without an ensuite bathroom. But the bathrooms have been upgraded; one is shower only.The spacious and upgraded one-bedroom apartment below is currently rented for $1,800 a month and has its own private patio/garden area. It has a living room and full kitchen with stainless steel appliances, new bath, appliances, electrical, plumbing, and new flooring.The home’s shaded lawn and landscaped grounds have mature fruit, palm and other trees, leafy hedges for privacy, a large vegetable garden and a shed for outdoor storage.Another attractive feature of this home is its extra large and wide paved driveway, which has plenty of room for cars and bikes to park and turnaround.Dreamsend is listed with Susan Thompson of Coldwell Banker Bermuda Realty and 11 Burnt House Hill with Regie Fleming of Coldwell Banker Bermuda Realty (292-1793).
