23 Union Street
23 Union was designed by a London-based architect who has worked throughout the UK, Europe, and the Caribbean. Acquired by the first new owners in over a hundred years, the house has undergone a top to bottom renovation, done to a high level of specification, yielding an aesthetic that is contemporary, comfortable, and uncluttered, with a well-curated mix of new furnishings, mid-century antiques and lighting from Paris and London complemented by black and white photography. It features splendid space for entertaining family and friends, with large open plan kitchen and very private wrap around deck featuring Adirondack chairs and a fire pit for chilly evenings. Guests can take advantage of the latest technology throughout the house, WiFi, flatscreen televisions in every bedroom, and a wireless Sonos system with speakers for both indoors and outdoors. 23 Union is extremely well provisioned, offering guests a wide range of dishes, glassware, high quality cooking equipment, beach chairs, towels, coolers, board games, bed and bath linens, candleholders and lanterns. This ensures that guests and their friends enjoy the same and better quality and convenience on vacation as they do at home.
