This exceptional property, listed by Bahamas Sotheby’s International Realty and presented by Robb Report, epitomizes the pinnacle of elegance and comfort, attracting the most discerning buyers seeking a prestigious secondary residence or a permanent home.
A Dream Location
Illawarra House stands out with its enviable location on nearly an acre of lush land, offering stunning ocean views.

George Damianos of Sotheby’s International Realty, the prestigious real estate agency, is in charge of this exclusive sale.
Upon arrival, meticulously landscaped grounds greet you in the property’s courtyard. The two-car garage is on the left, while a one-bedroom cottage is on the right, providing a perfect independent living space for guests. This cottage features a living room, a galley-style kitchen, and a private outdoor dining terrace. Further into the courtyard, a second cottage with two bedrooms overlooks the pool and lush gardens, offering its occupants a paradisiacal living environment.
Refined Interior Design
The main house spans three floors, with a Downsview-designed kitchen at its heart. This dream kitchen is equipped with Carrara marble countertops, a large central island, and high-end appliances such as a Wolf gas range, double ovens, and Miele dishwashers. The open living and dining areas are enhanced by shiplap walls and accordion glass doors, allowing sunsets to bathe the interior with natural light.
The second floor houses the primary suite, a true sanctuary of tranquility with a walk-in closet, an en-suite bathroom in white marble, a coffee station/bar, and a covered terrace offering breathtaking ocean views. An elevator leads to the west wing, where two additional bedrooms, a children’s playroom, and a living area with a kitchenette are located.
