This just-completed villa, high on a hill in Calabash Boom, is perfectly situated over the vast ocean panorama, where you will be treated to cool easterly tradewinds. The entrance to Moonswept is under a roofed portico. The spacious kitchen with an island, a sitting area, desk and library, ushers you into the high-ceilinged Great Room furnished with colorful sink-into sofas and chairs. A hand-carved Balinese armoire presides over a cozy corner for TV and movie watching. A generously-sized table from the Basque country provides dining with one of the best views you'll see on St. John. A couch and luxuriously-comfortable chaise gather around a coffee table for conversation, reading, or simply enjoying the breathtaking beauty of nature with her emerald green islets and cays, blue sea and blue sky. Two bedrooms of equal size are placed to the right and left of the Great Room, providing excellent privacy. Each features a tiled bath; one is equipped with a washer and dryer. French doors open from the Great Room out to the tiled pool deck, which features the same mesmerizing 200-degree view and offers a second dining option for alfresco meals. The pool has a built-in bench from which to appreciate the sea, and is surrounded by tropical landscaping. Rooms in Moonswept are graced with romantic indirect lighting and beautiful high ceilings of cypress with white rafters, keeping everything cool inside.
