Walk to work from Penarth, a six-bedroom period home in Hamilton.

The property covers 0.65 acres on Rosemont Avenue, a stone’s throw from all the city has to offer.

Rego Sotheby’s International Realty has listed the Pembroke home for $2.85 million.

“This gracious period home sits on 0.65 acres with mature, well-maintained gardens on the peaceful Rosemont Avenue and has more to offer than meets the eye,” said realtor Britt Reiss.

“The two-storey main house comprises of generously proportioned rooms, with high ceilings and gorgeous crown mouldings. The first floor, which you enter through a deep wraparound porch, is laid out so as to flow from one room to the next. This floor includes a spacious living room, dining room, office, full bathroom, kitchen and utility room.”

“A grand staircase” leads to the second floor and the home’s six bedrooms, any of which can be transformed into a den or offices.

Two one-bedroom apartments sit underneath the house, both command “a good rental income”.

“Across the property is a large carriage house, which is currently being used as a nursery school, providing another source of rental income,” Mrs Reiss said. “The property is complete with a large garden full of freesias, frangipanis and poinciana trees. The Penarth property is ideal for a beautiful family compound or an excellent investment for those wishing to capitalise on the rental income available. It can also be repurposed for commercial use.

“For those who love homes full of history, Penarth has only changed ownership twice since it was built by the original owners 100 years ago. It is a must-see for those who value traditional Bermuda architecture.”
