The living is easy year-round at Tango Mare, whose solid masonry construction, single-level design, and maintenance-free features make it a home of carefree comfort. Located five minutes from Cruz Bay, this four-bedroom, four-bath villa is close enough to town that shopping, dining, and bars are within easy reach, yet its location at the end of the road affords privacy and seclusion. The entire home is situated on one level, a rare find on hilly St. John. Tango Mare's floors are stained concrete, for a polished and refined look that requires no maintenance. Perhaps the best feature of this four-bedroom villa is its stunning views of Hart Bay to Rendezvous Bay and St. Croix in the distance. The home is perfectly situated toward the ocean vista, and great sliding pocket doors in the liviThe home is perfectly situated toward the ocean vista, and great sliding pocket doors in the living room and bedrooms make it easy to glimpse the beautiful turquoise waters from any room in the house. Waves often gently wash ashore in Hart Bay below, making for the most tranquil of soundtracks. Tango Mare is solid and hardy, designed and built to withstand abnormally high winds. The walls are reinforced with rebar and most are seven inches thick; the roof is 11 inches thick with two layers of rebar and accented with imported Italian tiles. Easy-to-close wood shutters protect smaller courtyard windows, while Armor Screens enclose ocean view openings for an extra layer of safety. Thirty two solar panels offset costly electricity bills. Tango Mare is enrolled in the net metering program, and there's a 32KW back-up generator, so you never have to go without current despite sporadic outages. There's air conditioning throughout the villa to keep you cool, though you might find the gentle trade winds do the trick all on their own. The home's current owner is an interior designer who's put her expert skills to use, maintaining a soothing, neutral palette throughout to allow nature's beauty to shine. You're sure to find yourself making ample use of the home's outdoor living areas. An infinity edge pool offers a seamless transition from the home to the sea below; it was resurfaced and new equipment installed in 2019. A covered outdoor living room with pool bar and outdoor dining room with built-in grill is an inviting space to enjoy St. John's balmy year-round weather. Inside, bathroom countertops and showers are finished with sustainable seastone made from shell fossils, perfectly complementing the island's landscape in a subtle, refined way. Each of the four bedrooms features its own private bathroom, outdoor shower, and private patio with ocean views. In the master, a newly installed bathtub is the perfect place for a relaxing soak as you gaze out over the south shore. Tango Mare is ideally set up to operate as a successful vacation rental, though it's just as easyand temptingto move in and make it your home.
