Property Description
A graceful two storey, 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom home sits in cool, serene Balvenie Heights, Mandeville; just five minutes from the town center. "Trelawny" was built in 1955 by Howard Dow Thompson after he relocated from Good Hope Great Estate, in the parish of Trelawny, which his father John Frank Thompson, a New York banker, had acquired in 1912. (Howard went on to successfully market Good Hope Great House as a resort destination and subsequently, the Good Hope Hotel opened in 1933). A uniquely elegant Georgian and New England inspired home, it remains in great condition. Built of solid concrete walls with hardwood "six over six", double hung sash windows, which are common features of Georgian architecture. Large picture windows and high ceilings make for a warm, sunny living room, with it working fireplace. The timeless interior boasts mahogany and cedar detailing: stairway, balustrade, beams, floor boards and cedar-lined closets, sourced in Trelawny forests. Perched on a 1.33 acre forested lot, a specimen cedar holds pride of place in the neatly landscaped garden, with a charming cut stone cottage, double carport, it features local favorite Agapanthus, "the flower of love".
