FSBO: The Flamingo House - great location in First Bight, fantastic ocean views, pool, NO HOA fee
We are selling our newly renovated, beloved Flamingo House as we need to accommodate the needs of all our family members.
We really enjoyed staying in this house and loved the great views – from the patio, from the kitchen, from the upstairs bedroom – it is so nice to watch the ocean. Sometimes with the mainland in the background, sometimes without. You can watch the cruise ships coming in and out, and stargazing is pretty cool too. A nice neighborhood we found here…not too close to each other, helpful, friendly, quiet…a great location.
The main house was built in 2010 and had 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Between 2023 and November 2024 the house was extended with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom and a swimming pool. The extension was done in such a way that the new rooms and the new bathroom can be separated simply by closing the connecting door. This way, the new owner can either rent out a 3-bedroom unit or a 2-bedroom unit or the entire property with 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
An additional unit or accommodation for a caretaker could be created on the lower level, the space is available.
The house is sold furnished, it is ready to move in or rent out.
Water: very large cistern with about 14’000 gallons (about 53’000 liters) , in addition we have a contract for community water that costs USD 400 per year for the consumption of about 15’000 gallons per half year, a total of 30’000 gallons per year.
Electricity: RECO
Beach access: we have beach access as part of the Lower First Bight Community, sometimes turtles can be spotted, good as a starting point for snorkeling
Lot size: 0.18 acre (726 m²)
Square feet: approx. 2000 square feet, but this is only a rough estimate, I believe it is more
HOA: no HOA fees, that was important to us…
Description of the rooms:
On the main level we have the kitchen, 2 baths, 4 bedrooms, living room, covered patio (insect screen), outdoor patio. The bedroom on the main level of the original building includes a full size bedroom, walk in closet, ocean views over the deck and views into the woods.
The kitchen and living room are designed as an open concept and offer great views of the ocean. The area offers a generous space while being cozy at the same time. The space in the kitchen is great – finally a kitchen with enough room for the family to work in at the same time! The countertop is made of ceramic/glass and the cabinets are made of hardwood. Cooking is done with a gas stove (3 new gas tanks).
Washer and dryer were purchased in 2024. The kitchen comes with all appliances, including toaster oven, microwave, blender, dishwasher…
Almost all the furniture in the house is hardwood, so you should enjoy it for many years to come. Outdoor furniture is also included.
The bathroom of the original house has a spacious shower and a separate toilet (same room). The tiles are made of travertine.
The covered terrace is very large and it is nice to sit outside and have meals or just sit together and enjoy the view, the stars and the wind.
The extended building offers a master bedroom and a double bedroom. Both rooms share a bathroom. The master bedroom has a walk-in storage room. The bathroom is equipped with a shower and a toilet.
All beds in the house were purchased in late 2023 and 2024.
All bedrooms with air conditioning, also one of the bathrooms. 4 A/C units were purchased and installed late 2023 / early 2024. The 2 older A/C units are in working order. All A/C units received a service in October/November.
The upstairs bedrooms in the original building both contain a queen size bed and have a balcony attached. One bedroom has a view into the woods, one bedroom has a larger balcony with a fantastic ocean view. This is a lovely place to enjoy the morning with a cup of coffee.
Hot water boiler works, car is parked in an open garage, we have had the large cistern cleaned and repaired this year, exterior walls have been painted in November / December 2024.
