Roughill In Tucker's Town

6 Long Lane Hamilton Parish, Bermuda, HS02 Bermuda

With the golf, beaches and amenities of the Mid Ocean Club and Rosewood Tucker's Point all within a golf-cart ride, Roughill is an especially rare find for its fusion of a prime and private Tucker's Town location, stunning turquoise ocean views, and an exceptionally thoughtful, flexible floor plan designed to accommodate active family and corporate life with equal eloquence - an attribute with new relevance in today's world. Set 90 feet above sea level, Roughill commands a prestigious south-facing hilltop, enjoying gentle sea breezes and overlooking the picturesque 2nd and 15th fairways and 14th hole of the famed Mid-Ocean Club golf course. Newly constructed in 2004 on the site of an older home of the same name belonging to the chairman of MOC, Roughill has benefitted from recent updates including a new air conditioning system, Crestron home automation and lighting electrics. Internationally sourced, quality finishes are a hallmark of this home including the eight-bedroom main house , a semi-circular two-level pool cottage, plus a two-bedroom staff apartment with its own drive. In the two-story skylight-illuminated entrance hall, the eye is drawn to a spectacular curved Australian cypress staircase. The formal living room features a fireplace, generous bay window, high ceiling, art glass doors to the dining room and French doors accessing a verandah. The Wilkinson cherry-wood kitchen is a chef's delight and adjoins the family room with home theater. Just beyond, French stained-glass doors lead to the game room and pub featuring an antique bar from New York's Waldorf Astoria Hotel. A four-bedroom guest wing and maid's quarters are found on the main level, with the master bedroom suite, office, and two more family bedrooms upstairs. A semi-circular breezeway connects the multipurpose pool cottage complex. Other features include a wine cellar, exercise room, swimming pool and spa, outdoor barbecue pavilion and provision for a putting green.
