In many ways Burgess Point is a throwback to a past era.

The main house has five bedrooms and includes a library, a silver room and a host of amenities.

There’s a two-bedroom guest cottage and also a pool house on the waterfront property, which is spread over nearly two acres at Riddell’s Bay, Warwick.

It’s a dream home for entertainers or those looking for a more secluded lifestyle; the pace is slow at Riddell’s Bay and the views are breathtaking.

“We are proud to offer for sale this spectacular waterfront estate located at the end of Burgess Point Road and occupying the south side of a private peninsula, nestled adjacent to a lovely bay with a small beach,” said Sue Lusher of Joy Lusher Real Estate Ltd.

“The elegant main house evokes memories of days gone by offering every amenity one could wish for.

“Comprising a lovely entrance foyer, formal living room, dining room, library, eat-in kitchen with pantry, silver closet and powder room, sun room and a spacious master suite on the main level; downstairs are four guest bedrooms and three guest bathrooms.

“There is an enormous salt water pool and a spacious pool house featuring a ‘Great Room’ with a fireplace, bedroom, kitchen, two bathrooms, changing rooms and a wonderful outdoor terrace ideal for entertaining.”

Burgess Point Cottage offers guests a wonderful respite. It includes a living room with a fireplace, a kitchen and an open-plan dining area. There are two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a powder room and laundry.

Ms Lusher added: “There is an enormous salt water pool and a pool house featuring a ‘Great Room’ with fireplace, cedar wet bar, bedroom, kitchen, two bathrooms and changing rooms.

“There is an expansive outdoor terrace, ideal for entertaining, and a deep water dock with sheltered berth, a man-made beach and boat slip on the south side of the property and a concrete platform and diving board pad on the northern shoreline.”

The property currently has two assessment numbers.

“To facilitate the sale to a non-Bermudian, the seller will be making application to the Bermuda Department of Planning for the property to be reassessed under one annual rental value, and a boundary adjustment will be required,” the realtor said.
