THIS well-kept home is tastefully presented from top to bottom, outside and in. A striking blue roof and vanilla walls add to the tranquil feel of the well thought out compound, complete with orchid garden, that is sure to lure tenants outdoors.

The west-facing house was completed in 1998 and has improved with time.

Established landscaping on the quarter-acre property and a cared-for feel make the home ideal for growing families.

There are four bedrooms – two on each floor – although two smaller rooms on the second floor could easily be used to accommodate a larger family if not used as a study, storage space or altar room.

Both upstairs bedrooms have en suites but one is significantly larger. To make up for its smaller size, the other has its own private balcony.

There is another balcony off one of the spare rooms as well as a common balcony off the hallway.

Teak ceilings throughout the second floor add an intimate and elegant touch, with the polished planks creating attractive patterns against the contours of the roof.

A section of the upstairs hallway overlooks the living room on the ground floor, which adds to the cosy, connected feel of the home.

Downstairs, one bedroom has a bathroom attached while the other has a door to its own porch.

There is a dining room attached to kitchen – notably, with an oven – which itself leads to the garage. There is comfortably room for a large car while a remote-controlled rolling garage door ensures drivers needn’t brave the rain during wet season.

A separate two-storey building is intended as staff quarters. It has its own small kitchen, bathroom and living area.

Eight air conditioners, a phone line and basic furniture are included.
