One doesn’t often hear of a six-bedroom estate that sits under seven roofs. Villa Sul Mare off Nassau, the Bahamas, makes the most of its acre location along the waterfront by spreading out the living spaces within a lush green setting.
Located on the aptly named Paradise Island, the property plays to its tropical locale with plantings of stately palms, natural flora and a lily pond.

Pyramidal hip roofs bring a casual island elegance to the 6,500-square-foot interconnected villa, which has a large motor court on the street side. Concrete stepping stones cross the lawn to reach the main entrance.
The air-conditioned living spaces access patios. Interior details include soaring open-beam cathedral ceilings, stained maple floors and rack and recessed lighting. Sliding glass walls bring in expansive views.

The sleek European-inspired kitchen has double islands and state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances.
