House Hunting in Jamaica: What you get for $1.16mil

ja

I was so giddy with excitement when I happened upon this article while perusing the New York Times recently. It’s been awhile since I’ve visited Jamaica and for a few minutes I was able to transport myself to a place that holds many of my fondest memories… If I could afford it, I would purchase this 3 bedroom waterfront villa (in the parish of Portland) in a heartbeat.

loving the tile work and the simple elegance in this dining room. it’s no surprise that the outdoor space is just a stone throw away.

  4. Yup, I'd buy this in a heartbeat too.
    The only thing I'm not sure about is the kitchen, and I don't even know why. Love the archway, but not sure about the rest of it. I know!! It's the metal island top. I'm picturing either granite or butcher block. Yup, that's it!!!

  5. That's a lot of house and a lot of beautiful access to the beautiful water for a very small price! That would barely get you an ordinary house here...our prices are crazy.

    Just imagine waking up to that water view each day! Heaven. x

  14. If you want to have full return on investment on your kitchen cabinets, you have to hire experienced and professional people to get the job done. Not all can handle this and you may have to compromise with your kitchen design if installation is improper.

  15. Who wouldn't love with this jaw-dropping beautiful villa surrounded with a picturesque view of nature? A place you can definitely call your own. A great place for spending some time away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but it sure has a pricey tag on it.
