Views of St George’s Harbour, a building steeped in history, Storekeeper’s House is perfect for daydreaming.

On offer is one of four condominiums at the Ordnance Island property.

Each has its own configuration and all have stunning views.

Only steps from the Town of St George, it offers immediate access to its shops and restaurants and old world charm.

There’s no maintenance fee and there’s a deeded parking spot for homeowners.

The building was built in 1816 by the British Armed Forces, according to the property’s agent, Peter Lever of Wigwam Real Estate Ltd. It was used by the Americans as a place to recharge submarine batteries during the Second World War. It was later abandoned and renovated completely in 2001. The first homeowners moved in just before Hurricane Fabian in 2003.

The two-bedroom upper floor unit now up for sale has since been upgraded.

“All four are different layouts and different sizes,” said Mr Lever.

A bricked stairway leads to a patio and the main entrance, guarded by Bermuda cedar doors. The patio is solely for the use of the homeowners on the lower floor; those on the upper floor benefit from extra storage space below.

Inside the condominium itself, there are 14 windows offering views across St George’s Harbour, the Old Town and the Customs dock.

“It has all brand new, stainless steel appliances, all bought in the last six weeks — including a washer and dryer,” Mr Lever said. “There’s a new air conditioner in the master bedroom and there are new cupboards in the kitchen.”

There’s a powder room and a spacious bathroom shared by the two bedrooms. It boasts a whirlpool tub, a separate shower and a bidet.

There are wood floors throughout the house and a Murphy bed in the guest bedroom, which offers “views of Customs dock and every visiting sailboat as it comes into the Island”.
