Completed only four months earlier, a home in Richmond, St Ann, has been designed with everyday ease now and future use in mind. Set inside a high-end gated neighbourhood, the property gives its owner privacy, a refined setting and the benefit of smart, sustainable and hard-wearing construction choices.
The interior carries a simple white and grey palette. Outside, its up-to-date look comes through in glass balcony barriers, stone-finished columns, and impact-resistant sliding doors and windows. At the front, concrete pavers separated by grass strips give the driveway a distinctive arrival point.
Much of the design is aimed at spending time outdoors. The yard includes a swimming pool with a waterfall feature, an integrated hot tub, a covered area for entertaining and a half basketball court, creating leisure zones that can serve the household in every season.
Verandahs draw the outdoor areas back toward the main living space. Inside, the glass-walled fireplace, dining section and island kitchen are arranged in one open plan. The kitchen includes a quartz worktop and strong aluminium cupboards, while the house also provides two powder rooms and a garage with an automatic door.
A floating staircase edged with glass rails takes residents to the upper floor, where the outlook extends toward the sea. Upstairs are four air-conditioned bedrooms, each set up with a king-sized bed and a private balcony. The bathrooms are finished with either deep soaking tubs or glass-enclosed rain showers.
The dwelling covers 3,790 square feet on a lot measuring 8,655 square feet. Among the finishes are porcelain floor tiles, bold tray ceilings with recessed lights, and smart controls that allow features including lighting to be managed at the touch of a button.
For purchasers and designers interested in a home that steps away from standard layouts, the Richmond property offers a distinct expression of modern Jamaican residential living.
