Situated at the apex of North and South Runaway Drive in Olveston sits the charming cottage known as Jambalaya.  A fully fenced and gated property, this is currently the long term home of devout animal lovers, Joe & Marg Barker.  Jambalaya is actually derived from the phrase: “Joe And Marg Barker Are Looking After Your Animals”.

From a covered portico, enter directly into a comfy and tidy lounge which also encompasses a convenient office area behind a cased opening.  Neutral and easy to maintain tiles cover the floors and the room is flooded with light and is afforded great airflow through its many newer, easy to clean windows.  This leads directly into the efficient kitchen complete with painted wood cabinetry and plenty of counter space for the cooks in the family to gather and prepare meals together. 

From the kitchen one can either go straight through to a fully covered back porch fitted with comfy furniture for afternoon “liming”, or jog left into a large (13’X18’) flexible space known as the “sunroom”.  Whether you choose to make this smart addition a dining room, accessory sleeping for overflow guests, artists studio or craft room is up to your imagination.  

On the other side of the house sits two spacious bedrooms, both with lots of built-in storage,  a lovely tiled full bath and a convenient half bath attached to one of the bedrooms.  The washing machine is secretly tucked behind a closet door to keep laundry out of sight.

The property’s outdoor areas are laid out in a circular fashion around the house.  This feature has always afforded an ample dog run and pet area.  And for the gardener, there’s also a separate planted area showcasing bananas and citrus trees as well as a highly productive avocado tree.  Behind high stucco walls hidden from street view is a well kept pool and sunning area.  Be sure not to miss the sturdily built 2 car garage with concrete roofing which can easily accommodate your island vehicle and all your “toys”!

The lower level basement contains another finished room currently utilized for “quiet afternoon siestas” and 2 other areas: a well used workshop for home repair projects or just tinkering with a hobby and an excavated and concreted storage room.  Be sure to note the steel beams used in the construction of this solid home.  There’s also a solar water heater with electric back up. 

Whether utilized as a year round house, vacation home or rental property, Jambalaya can be your sweet Caribbean refuge!
