Jamoon is exotic… like the deep purple mulberry like fruit with the same name that is used locally to make a delicious wine. This property, designed by an Italian interior decorator, is located 5 miles from the city of Bridgetown and 12 miles form the Grantley Adams Airport and has lush landscaped gardens.
The gardens ornament the two-storey residence which rests on the exclusive Sandy Lane Estate, allowing for easy access to nightlife and exclusive restaurants along the vibrant West Coast.
With 7 bedrooms, Jamoon is surprisingly spacious given its cottage-like exterior. It has a grand reception area with Internet access where a fish tail palm tree welcomes you into a spacious, open plan living room.
The ceiling there is over 20 feet high and the room sets a tone of classical elegance with its European accents and touch of modern day sophistication as well as a mixture of classical and modern furnishings.
The Squire and Longson baby grand piano is a focal point of the room and creates an elegant ambience for high style entertaining. A continual cool breeze flows into and from the pool (which forms the focal point of the house) deck area and covered terrace with its wicker or wooden loungers, card table and comfortable sofas.
The ceiling is wooden and whitewashed, as in many of the other rooms. An open-air terrace can be found adjacent to the shaded terrace with retractable awning and is perfect for dining under the stars or during the day when the bougainvillea, ginger lilies and palm trees show off their costumes. Small bridges also lead to the sizable private swimming pool (10M x 16M) and decking area where floating chairs and floats are provided.
The property also comprises king, queen and twin bedrooms, all air-conditioned with ceiling fans, most with dressing rooms, en suite bathrooms and safes. Like the other rooms, the furniture does not drift into rigid, severe lines. The resulting effect is that the beds do not seem to dominate and fill the room but instead lends to a harmonious blend of furnishings.
An enfilade of French doors opens the bedrooms onto the gardens and pool/decking areas adding to a feeling of inhibition and a certain freedom to easily flow from the inside to the outside of the residence.
The TV room, which seats 8 people, is also fully air-conditioned with ceiling fans. A study is outfitted with computer, broadband Internet access, copier and fax machine.
There is a Swedish designed kitchen which is fully outfitted and wholly functional, blending modern stainless steel units and wooden fixtures and fittings.
The world famous Sandy Lane Beach, named after the luxurious Five Diamond Sandy Lane Hotel which peeps out from a bouquet of mahogany trees onto this beach, is also within walking distance.
The choice of royalty and celebrities alike (recently the venue for the wedding of Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren) a cabana there is available exclusively for owners and guests as are the golf course and tennis courts.
More than adequate parking is provided. |
