Dilly Dally

Set within the gated enclave of Lyford Cay, this recently renovated contemporary residence is defined by clean lines, disciplined proportions, and an exacting material palette. Elevated on a private, maturely landscaped oversize lot, Dilly Dally presents a refined interpretation of modern island living.

The 7,200-square-foot 5-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom main residence has been comprehensively renovated from top to bottom and is offered fully furnished. A controlled interplay of textures and expansive volumes defines the interiors, where imported limestone, travertine, onyx and rift-sawn white oak floors are complemented by extensive bespoke millwork and artfully diffused lighting. A carefully selected mix of materials has been layered to provide depth and tone, creating spaces that feel both refined and enduring.

The main level is anchored by a striking double-height formal living room that opens directly to the pool terrace and landscaped grounds, establishing a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Additional elements include a formal dining room, kitchen and breakfast area, a family room, study, gym and two generously proportioned guest suites, all of which are complemented by a substantial laundry room, staff bathroom, and a 2.5-car garage to support the day-to-day operation of the home.

On the second floor, the primary suite occupies its own wing with a private sunrise terrace, walk-in closet, and a light-filled bathroom clad in warm white onyx. Two additional guest bedrooms open to wraparound verandahs, whilst a richly appointed, intimate library completes the level.

The top floor is designed for leisure, comprising a media room and a broad terrace that captures elevated sunrise, sunset and ocean views over Clifton Bay, a vantage point seldom available in Lyford Cay.

Complementing the main residence is a discreet 500-square-foot guest or staff cottage with kitchenette, offering flexibility without compromising the privacy of the main house. Across the property, nearly 4,000 square feet of balconies and terraces extend the living spaces outward, reinforcing the home’s emphasis on light, air, and proportion.

Behind the scenes, the home is fully equipped for modern living, with a 65kW diesel generator, reverse-osmosis water system with UV filtration, Starlink internet, comprehensive security infrastructure, EV charging, and a saline swimming pool.

This is a connoisseur’s residence: a meticulously executed modern home for a buyer who values architectural distinction, material quality, and measured elegance within one of the Bahamas’ most established and secure communities.
