DESCRIPTION: Anole is a 4 bedroom 4.5 bath home with a private pool. This two-level design includes the great room and two bedrooms with ensuite baths, plus a half bath on the upper level, and two additional bedrooms with ensuite baths and the pool on the lower level.
You park on the upper level and when you enter the great room you will be immediately drawn to the spectacular views looking out over the north shore and Cinnamon Bay. The handsome great room, complete with beautiful island stonework, tiled floors, and cathedral ceiling was newly renovated and refurnished in 2018. The kitchen and interior dining are on the right side of the great room, while the living area occupies the left half of this attractive room.
The upper-level bedrooms, each with a delightful screened-in porch, spectacular views, and a sitting area are located on opposite sides of the great room. A tiled sundeck runs the length of the great room, and exterior stairs off the sundeck lead to the pool and the lower bedrooms. The lower bedrooms are also good sized, with pleasant screened-in porches and lots of privacy. A covered deck is located between the lower bedrooms.
The pool sits in a very private, lushly landscaped site on the west (left) side of the house and can be accessed by stairs from the house or by the stairs off the driveway.
If you are looking for a home with spectacular views, Anole is the home for you. Perfect for couples, families, and anyone looking for a private St. John island retreat.
LOCATION: Anole is located along St. Johns fabled north shore, about 600 feet above the turquoise waters and white sand beaches of Cinnamon Bay. Anole is totally surrounded by St. Johns stunning National Park, and as with Peter Bay, the villas built in this beautiful neighborhood are distinctive, each offering their own personal charm.
Although Anole has a neighbor, the privacy of this home is superb and this setting is the very definition of a peaceful, quiet, and away-from-it-all island locale. The view is absolutely gorgeous and includes Tobago and Little Tobago Islands, Jost Van Dyke, Tortola, and other islands floating on turquoise and blue seas. Cinnamon Bay and Trunk Bay lie below you and offer excellent swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, windsurfing, sunning and stress free relaxation.
It is a 15 minute drive from Cruz Bay and the last 1/2 mile is a bumpy dirt road intended to discourage tourists from exploring this quiet neighborhood. A 4 wheel drive rental vehicle is necessary as local taxi service is not available in this neighborhood.
LIVING & DINING: The great room, with its cathedral ceiling, handsome stonework, and tiled floor, is located in the middle of the villa, with a bedroom on each side. The 30 x 8 foot wall of screened glass pocket doors offer marvelous views from everywhere in the great room. The spacious living area occupies much of the great room and is furnished with comfortable wicker and rattan furniture, cable TV, a stereo, and wireless internet.
The interior dining table seats 6-8 and is located in a romantic nook in the front corner of the great room, while the dining table on the upper deck also seats 6-8. There is also a table and chairs on the pool deck.
KITCHEN: The kitchen is in the rear of the great room but it also shares the gorgeous view. The kitchen is fully equipped, including a refrigerator, gas range, dishwasher, microwave oven and drip coffee maker. In the back of the kitchen there is a pantry and a washer/dryer and a gas grill is on the upper deck.
BEDROOMS: All four bedrooms are oversized (305 sq/ft) and all are located to ensure excellent privacy from each other. The upper-level east (right) and west (left) bedrooms each have a king bed, screened-in porch, and ensuite bath with new double sink vanities. The two lower-level bedrooms are accessed by exterior stairs from the upper deck or the pool deck. The lower level east (right) and west (left) bedrooms each have 2 twin beds, which can be converted in to a king. Each bedroom has a lovely 150 sq ft fully screened porch with wicker furniture, and each bedroom has an ensuite bath with tiled shower.
