您偶尔会找到真的可以登上杂志的那种罕见的房产——当您走进家门时,您几乎感觉自己已经跌入了建筑文摘(Architectural Digest)的精美页面。英属维尔京群岛Tortola房产的松节油屋(Turpentine House)正是这样的房产,我们很自豪地把它列为我们出售的商品之一。业主在建造这个项目时非常小心,以使每一个细节都完美无缺,其特点是一所极其精致的住宅,不同于其他任何住宅。
一条树木成荫的私人车道带引您去往住宅,在那里欢迎您的是生机勃勃的赭石墙。打开超大柚木双木门(这是印度尼西亚手工雕刻的),您就会看到无边际游泳池和内庭院。泳池有瀑布功能,除此之外,在泳池还能享受到还有弗朗西斯·德雷克爵士海峡(Sir Francis Drake Channel)的迷人景色。右边是三间卧室,左边是起居区。两个单元上都有引人注目的倾斜屋顶,中间带遮顶的天井由松木瓦覆盖。
起居区设有高挑天花板,它由客厅和餐厅组成,有一个高架厨房,厨房通向一个神奇的室外厨房和餐厅。室外厨房非常迷人,有开放式拱门、抛光的混凝土台面、烧烤炉和水槽区。主厨房的所有厨具都是顶级的,台面采用抛光混凝土材料。整栋房子都设有法国灰泥墙,这些墙都是由手工精心制作,住宅还铺设了源自南非的石板瓦地板。住宅有一个美妙的个性化物品,是由艺术家业主制作的铜灯具,它是整个住宅中独一无二的物品。
厨房/餐饮/生活区的上方是一个开放式阁楼,目前用作办公室,环绕着一根巨大的南美酸枝(Kabukalli)木梁的浮动木楼梯可以通往这个阁楼。住宅还有一个阳台,在那里可以看到户外厨房。门廊从院子里起始,环绕着起居区,一直延伸到外面的厨房空间。有一个客人卫生间位于庭院和起居空间外。房子里所有的卫生间都非常宽敞,设有抛光的混凝土梳妆台和雨水喷头。
卧室区有两个与泳池同楼层的客房,都带有自己的套内卫生间。您可以从另一个带遮顶的天井进入卧室区域,这个天井也是从内庭院起始的。洗衣房也在这一层。
楼上是非常私密的主套房,它占据了整个顶层。它有您想要的所有美丽的东西——一个大型步入式衣橱、双水槽和一个巨大的双人淋浴间,绝对可以共用。一个私人阳台俯瞰下面蓝绿色的水域,似乎与房子的地板融为一体。
在家里的许多地方都有不同的座位区,有些是双人座位,有些是多人座位。其中最迷人的座位是位于内庭院的内置座位区,那里有色彩鲜艳的靠垫和脚垫,可以让你的把双脚放上去歇息。
内庭院的中心是一个游泳池,周围有一层重蚁木木制平台,非常适合您在保证完全隐私的情况下晒日光浴。游泳池有一个浅水区座位平台,里面设有水疗喷射按摩设施,让您尽可能的享受完美体验。
英属维尔京群岛Tortola房产的该住宅有一个很大的车间,可以轻松转变为一个自给自足的公寓。它有一个半卫生间,还有足够高的天花板,给您增加阁楼的空间。除此之外住宅还有三个蓄水池,总计4万加仑容量。
Occasionally you find one of those rare properties that is truly magazine worthy- one where you almost feel as if you have fallen into the glossy pages of Architectural Digest as you enter the home. Turpentine House is exactly that and we are proud to include it as one of our listings for sale. It was a project where the owners took painstaking care when building to get every last detail perfect and the culmination is a refined and sophisticated dwelling unlike any other.
A private driveway with lush foliage leads you up to the residence whose vibrant ochre walls immediately invite you to enter. Opening the oversize teak double wooden front door (which was hand carved in Indonesia) you look onto the infinity edge pool and inner courtyard. The pool has a waterfall overflow feature and beyond it are stunning views of the Sir Francis Drake Channel. On the right are the three bedrooms and on the left is the living pavilion. The dramatic pitched roofs on both units and the covered patio between are covered in pine shingles.
The dramatically high ceilinged living pavilion consists of the living and dining room with an elevated kitchen which leads to a magical exterior kitchen and dining area. The outdoor kitchen is extremely charming with open arches, polished concrete countertops, a BBQ and a sink area. All appliances in the main kitchen are top end and the countertops polished concrete. The entire house has French stucco walls which were meticulously done by hand and slate tile flooring sourced from South Africa. A wonderful personal touch are the unique copper light fixtures throughout the property which are made by the artist owners.
Above the kitchen/ dining/ living is an open loft, currently used as an office and is reached by a floating wooden staircase which encircles around a massive Kabukalli wooden beam. It also has a balcony which looks onto the outdoor kitchen. The porch which starts inside the courtyard, wraps all the away around the living pavilion to the outside kitchen space. There is a guest bathroom located off of the courtyard and living space. All the bathrooms in the house are very spacious and have polished concrete vanities and rain-head showers.
The bedroom pavilion has two guest suites on the pool level, both with their own en suite bathrooms. They are accessed from another covered patio which also starts inside the inner courtyard. The laundry room is also on this level.
Upstairs is the very private master suite which takes up the entire top level. It has all the bells and whistles one could want- a large walk in closet, double sinks and an enormous double shower definitely meant for sharing. A private balcony looking out onto the turquoise waters below completes the floor.
At many points around the home are various seating areas, some for two and some for groups. One of the most charming is a built in banquette in the inner courtyard area with brightly colored throw cushions and ottomans to put your feet up on.
The jewel in the center of the inner courtyard is the pool which is surrounded by an Ipe wood deck- perfect for sunbathing in utter privacy. The pool has a shallow seating platform with spa jets to truly make the experience as pampering as possible.
There is a huge workshop under the home which could easily be made into a self sufficient apartment. It has a half bathroom and has high enough ceilings to add a loft. Beyond this are the three cisterns, totaling 40,000 gallons.
