Leeward Villa

52
Governor’s Road is a tropical canal front sanctuary located in the heart of the
Leeward community.  As you open the electronic gate and enter the circular
driveway you are enchanted by the wonderful, lush landscaping, including
several varieties of palm trees, indigenous trees as well as colorful flowering
trees and shrubs.  The Main House entrance portico with double door entry
is flanked by lovely Date Palms and the sidewalk is lined with flowering
Bougainvillea, welcoming you home.  Enter the doors to reveal the spacious
open plan main living area with vaulted ceilings and sleek contemporary
furnishings accented with splashes of color conveying the immediate feeling of
comfort and relaxation.  The kitchen layout is setup for entertaining with
a convenient walk-in pantry, high end appliances, large center island with
seating, and adjacent dining area.  Connected to the main living/dining
area is a lounge and custom cocktail bar area with three sets of French doors
that open to a pergola shaded terrace.  The tropical oasis continues to
the back garden with multiple seating and lounging areas all overlooking the
pool area and canal front beyond that spans 160 feet and includes a 115-foot dock
with direct access to the open ocean and easy access for non-motorized
watersports.  A poolside lounge with pergola provides an outdoor gathering
venue featuring the four elements of nature with the waterfall firepit, earth
and the cooling tropical breeze.  As night falls, the central firepit lounge
offers a quiet starlit refuge to enjoy the evening hours. The primary suite is
a retreat of its own with king-sized bed, sitting area and ultra-luxurious
ensuite bathroom.  The ensuite with floor and wall-to-wall travertine
tiling features a double vanity, deep soaking bathtub, and a large 2-person
steam shower connected to an outdoor, private garden shower.  Exquisite
lighting detail and custom walk-in closet complete this masterful space. 
The 3,038 sq. ft. Main House has three elegantly furnished guest bedrooms, the
east wing bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet.  Guests will
also enjoy the 1-bedroom Poolside Cottage of approximately 425 sq. ft. complete
with kitchenette and bathroom. Situated away from the main house is a
self-contained 876 sq. ft. Guest House with a large living area, kitchen,
bedroom and ensuite bathroom.  This 0.82-acre property also offers staff
housing and storage tucked into the lush landscaping as well as a double
carport beside the Guest House. With sustainability in mind, this remarkable
villa is augmented with a water well, solar power, state-of-the-art backup
battery, efficient central air conditioning, roof insulation, and
hurricane-rated windows and doors that make this property as economical as it
is beautiful. The fiber-optic system with multiple routers provides high speed
internet connection throughout the property and the remote-controlled security
