Bermuda Island Style - Patios and Porches - Outdoor Lounging Areas

Bermuda Outdoor Lifestyle - How to Improve, Enjoy and Add Value to your home

Our climate in Bermuda lends itself to outside living. We all appreciate a sheltered shady spot leading right off the house for entertaining and relaxing. How great it is to be able to fling open a door year round and step out to a pretty patio!

Outdoor lounging areas are big draws for buyers. It’s a joy to show an attractive outdoor area that expands the living space.  It gives added benefit to purchasing your home.

Lights, Action, Ambiance!

Colourful and bright

Enchanting ambiance at night

Upgrading patios and porches adds value for the homeowner.  If you can utilize your outdoor space comfortably and often, doesn’t it make sense to invest in it? Huge changes in weather resistant materials have made things easy and introduced many exciting choices which are altering our style of living and bringing neglected patios, porches and pool areas back into our home’s useable space.

Weather resistant – pricey or modest 

Simple and Elegant 

Budget friendly

        

Any space no matter how modest can become a mood lifting refuge for evenings after work.  By adding comfortable seating, a few lights, soft fabrics you can create your own welcoming retreat.  

Quick and rewarding ways to beautify your outdoor room

·         Start by creating shelter for day or night –  an awning, a patio umbrella, or even peg a canopy of fabric overhead

·         Decorate with plants

·         Find interesting vessels to plant with herbs and flower seedlings and water daily.

·         Wrap branches or drape pergola / canopy with strands of small outside Xmas lights.

·         Cover an outside table in colourful cloth and set with candles in jam jars and flowers.

·         Style to your taste with wind chimes, chandeliers, bird feeders, mobiles etc

Be creative and let your lights shine! Upgrading the exterior of your home makes your home a more enjoyable place while also increasing the value of your home in the eyes of the buyer. It’s a win-win!

International Buyers – Considering buying an Island Property? Property in Bermuda!

Property in Bermuda for International Buyers, who are considering buying an Island Property.

If you are thinking of buying in Bermuda then this is the time to take advantage of the lowest license fees in many years. In April 2013 the newly elected Bermuda Government reduced license fees on Non Bermudian House purchases from 25% to 8%. They will retain levels until October of this year, 2014

Considering that current house prices are as high as $45,000,000 this can represent a significant saving on investment.

Starting at $3,200,000 there are approximately 30 substantial residences available to Non Bermudian Buyers some of these rest in large acreages of land and afford residential opportunities to those who have the desire and means to purchase a separate island or create a private family estate. 

During the past 15 years Bermuda Real Estate has started to evolve into a more competitive product on the world stage. The old WASP vacation beach homes are being restyled either entirely or in part by teams of interior designers and architects into luxurious secluded homes. 

Bermuda’s large historic character filled homes are being sold and modernized, re-purposed to suit contemporary lifestyles.

Representative of this type of property is Soncy, 
The Old Manor House in Soncy Bay, Point Shares.

This home already has 4 bedrooms, 3 stately reception rooms plus a large kitchen and sun room, a wrap-around porch, swimming pool, direct water access, moorings, a boat house apartment and a separate nanny suite. Soncy is available to international buyers at $6,900,000.

Located only minutes from the City of Hamilton, this private estate offers a magnificent secure waterfront home that can be updated to your taste and redeveloped in style.
