Originally referred to as the “Match Stick Store” when it was built by Loyalist settlers during the 1800s, Blue Sticks is one of the most iconic and history-rich homes on charming and elegant Harbour Island. Although centuries old, this two-story clapboard residence has been lovingly restored and impeccably maintained to meet today’s standard of living without losing characteristic features such as dormer windows; native wood flooring, walls, and ceilings; a fully operational open-fire hearth which acts as the centerpiece of the otherwise modernized kitchen; and limestone stairs, pathways, and patios that guide you throughout the home’s lush gardens. As you enter the main floor of this 2,042 sqft 4 bedroom 2.5 bathroom home, you’re greeted by a warm and welcoming, open living area that is painted all-white to best reflect the island’s natural sunlight. This living room exudes traditional island decor and is tastefully decorated with antiques and wood accent pieces offset by subtle island touches such as starfish-patterned linen couches, armchairs, and pillows lightly adorned with sea shells. The quaint, cozy dining room opens up to the large courtyard and lush gardens via historical barn doors; these doors can be found throughout the entire main floor and once opened create a magically lit and airy home. The open-air courtyard can comfortably accommodate 20-plus guests and has a multitude of spaces to either relax, grill, or dine. The opposite end of the dining room opens up to the living room, reading room, and outfitted bar. The open, comfortable, naturally lit living room and bar area are perfect spaces for entertaining guests, or just lounging while reading a book. The match stick store, which is off to the side of the main living area, is now a guest suite. On the second floor, there are three charming bedrooms with numerous windows that open up to the beautiful, large, landscaped garden. While looking out of the windows, various species of birds can be seen enjoying the mature trees, flowers, and fruit. The gardens and courtyard are perfect for outdoor dining, relaxing and entertaining. The 1/4 acre yard can be used for playing sports, sunbathing, or a pool installation. Café-style lights are strung throughout the property, evoking magical energy during the evening time. The two outhouses on the property provide ample storage for bikes, kayaks, and more. Additional features of this truly unique home include a generator, washer, and dryer. Harbour Island is an island in The Bahamas known for maintaining and encouraging the preservation of historical buildings. Upon receiving the historical designation, property owners are exempt from Real Property Taxes. Blue Sticks is situated in a quiet, tucked away area of Harbour Island, yet still within easy walking distance to the top restaurants on the island—The Dunmore, Da Vine Sushi & Wine Bar, The Rock House, The Landing, and Runaway Hill. It’s also a 5-minute walk to the main Harbour Island dock and the world-famous Pink Sand’s Beach.
