Sitting on just over half an acre in Lyford Cay, a 1,000-acre gated community on the western tip of New Providence, is Casa Ileana, an eight-bedroom, seven-bathroom property that’s the one of the newest listings in The Bahamas.

It’s now on the real estate market at $3.6 million, listed with MCR Bahamas’ Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate.

Inside its modern colonial architecture, the main residence provides an open floor plan with a kitchen, dining and living room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the ground floor.

The second floor features an additional five bedrooms and four bathrooms.

The total interior square footage of the main residence is 5,680 square feet, and an additional 1,010 square feet of balcony and patio space.

The lush outdoor area comes with a large pool and lawn, making it fit for entertaining, as well as providing a space for kids to run around.

The property also includes a 435 square foot guest cottage, which has one bedroom, one bathroom and a laundry room.

Other features of this property include solid wood doors, a mixture of hardwood floors, travertine and marble.

There is also space for parking and storage as well as a 40 KW standby generator and a 400 gallon rainwater tank with water softener system.
