The reason to consider it.
Situated on two streets, Shirlea Road and Essex Street, this historic Bahamian home, like an Embassy on a hill, has produced not just one NBA Champion but two and counting. Michael Sweet Bells Thompson of the Los Angeles Lakers and reigning champion Clay Thompson can attest to the nurturing received in this champion homestead in a serene Bahamian neighbourhood that has quick access to commercial sites on Shirley Street and near to down town Nassau. This 3 bed room 2 bath main home is well constructed with a solid foundation and elevation. It is not prone to flooding and has access from both sides. It also has another building separate from the main house that is used for a home business and has produced rich cultural expressions of our heritage. This property is a breeding ground for success and champions. The spacious yard has the potential to be used for additional parking as the location is central and prime. This property can be used as an income investment or modernized into a nurturing home or converted to a cultural heritage site.

What people say about Bahamas
Sources agree that foreigners can own Bahamian property outright and that an ordinary home purchase needs a registration filing through a Bahamian lawyer, not a discretionary permit.
- Positive Foreign buyers mostly register rather than seek a permit; permit applies to large or commercial land
- Mixed Closing costs are dominated by a 10% transfer VAT for foreign buyers, usually split with the seller, plus legal fees
- Mixed Annual property tax is being reshaped in 2026 (new foreign owner-occupied category), and Bahamian realtors dispute fairness
- Concern Vacant land owned by foreigners carries a notably heavier tax until built on
