Exploring the world’s most incredible homes in premier destinations around the world.
1 Canal Street, Nassau, Bahamas | Presented by Ryan Knowles, MAISON Bahamas
Old Fort Bay, a private gated community on the northern shores of the island of New Providence, is home to some of the most prestigious addresses in all of the Nassau. Branches of canals spread through the small seafront community, giving many properties, including this turnkey residence at 1 Canal Street, direct access to the water.
Standing on a rare corner lot, the five-bedroom property showcases colonial-style architecture with a soft palette of off-white and pastel blue. Palms and hedges decorate the front yard, while behind the home a stone sun deck, swimming pool and private dock overlook the canal.
An open-concept design and plentiful doors and windows make for a breezy, light interior. High-end finishes, including marble, granite and coral stone run throughout.
A charming yet sophisticated kitchen allows plenty of space for cooking and gathering with a sizable marble island with seating. The primary suite features walk-in closets, a soaking tub and walkout access through French doors to the pool and covered terrace.
In addition to the main residence, the property includes a one-bedroom guest cottage as well as a two-car garage with EV (electric vehicle) charging stations.
Owners of this island retreat will be welcome at the nearby Old Fort Bay Club House, complete with dining, a fitness center and a spa.
