Three Houses, "Arches"

Recently Reduced!  Nestled within a lush, fully-enclosed environment, is this traditional styled, executive, 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom, two storey, family home measuring apx. 3,416 sq.ft.  It forms part of the quaint neighbourhood of Three Houses, formally a Plantation Factory yard environment.  “Arches” is central within this area, accessed via a combination tar and marl road, and it a short drive to Six Roads commercial area with many amenities (banking, shopping, restaurants – you name it, it is there).  “Arches” was purchased in 1976 by its current owner – back then, it was an office building with upper level living quarters for the overseer.  The property has been rebuilt to what it is today, a beautiful, and very well-maintained residence – ready to move in.  The lower level with its imposing arches and large covered “L” shaped terrace, overlooks the lawns, it also offers a bar area with excellent ambiance for entertaining.  On entering the home, one experiences the grandeur of this home and its welcoming appeal.  The impressive living room (apx. 315 sq.ft) with its three doors leading to the covered terrace, adds to its charm.  From the living room, one enters into the striking formal dining area (apx. 347 sq.ft), which is central to the home, giving one access to the upper level, to the powder room and also to the very well planned, and finished kitchen.  The kitchen (apx. 319 sq.ft) boasts of granite countertops, farm sink and breakfast bar, to name a few features – there is also room for a lunch table, should that be desired.  Towards the north of the building, and off the kitchen, is an informal sitting area (apx.260 sq.ft), complete with built-in closets and ideal as a family entertainment area.  This space has two French doors (or what Barbadians deem, the “back door”) leads to the rear yard (convenient for shopping days), the lovely lawn area, and the laundry area which can house both a washer and a dryer.  Separate to this, one also has the utility room – fit to house those oils, lawnmower and such. The lower level of the main house is made of sod-stone with walls apx. two feet thick, it is finished with sash-windows, complete with seat, security grills, and internal hurricane shutters plus exterior shutters.  The upper level is accessed by lovely wooden stairs, offers three bedrooms with large office space which can easily be converted to a 4th bedroom.  The upper level was totally remodeled, constructed with reinforced concrete and complements the architecture of the original structure.  Towards the North of the home and perfectly positioned, at the end of the hallway, is the shared bathroom with rain shower and single vanity.  The “office” is three steps down (apx. 182 sq.ft), it is air-conditioned, has built-in cupboards and high ceilings.  The bedrooms are all on the Eastern side of the home, have sash windows with exterior, wooden louver shutters and window hoods.  The first two bedrooms are finished with built-in closets, are comfortable in size.  The first bedroom is North East of the home, measures apx. 180 sq.ft. and the “middle” bedroom measures apx. 282 sq.ft. and is complete with Air-conditioning.  The Master bedroom measures apx. 277 sq.ft, is towards the South East of the property, it is also air-conditioned, has ample built-in closets and a lovely en-suite bathroom with rain shower, vanity and mosaic tilework.  “Arches” has been a wonderful family home, it is light and airy and a great place to “come home to”, now make it your own.  Look to your future – your lifestyle awaits.  E&OE.
