Somerset provides its residents with privacy and a sense of community that they hold to be unique in Bermuda.

Quiet and quaintly picturesque, Cambridge Road is a classic example of this tantalisingly indiscernible quality — an almost permanent dusting of beach sand and smell of salt hangs in the air here, attesting to its proximity to the water, the edges of this quiet side road punctuated with driveways, some perfectly manicured, others overgrown and leading away to unseen homes, while other brightly hued houses and sit boldly on the roadside.

This house, 21 Cambridge Road, with its Bermuda elements painted a crisp white and generously detailing the exterior, is just a stone’s throw away from that beach.

As well as the beach, it is very close to the neighbouring nature reserve, providing this property with plenty of privacy and access to natural Bermuda.

It also has the right to use a common area with a lawn on which there are mature trees growing.

The house itself is on two storeys, and has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. It also has a patio terrace.

Built in 2009, it is a contemporary dwelling filled with modern amenities, yet with its careful proportions, a sunken living room and a fireplace, it immediately feels comfortable.

Enter this welcoming home and you are in a generous foyer, and the kitchen.

Corian counter tops are cream with chocolate brown specks which add elegance and warmth. It also matches the stainless steel appliances. Here, the buyer will find a gas powered stove, a fridge/freezer, a dishwasher and a microwave.

There is also a nook where the family can sit down for casual meals together.

Walk down the hallway and here is the sunken living room, with the fire place for those chilly winter nights.

There is also a den, as well as a laundry with a stand-alone washer and a stand-alone dryer.

There’s cable and split units, reverse cycle and ceiling fans.

This home is priced at $800,000.
