But this traditional colonial-styled building actually dates back to the 1750s, a history that has been lovingly considered in its recent renovations.
For the past four years, The Gallery Cafe has undergone a truly sensitive transformation. The colours throughout are unmistakably Caribbean: Cheerful sunshine yellows, soft lilacs and fresh greens share a place with polished wood, flashes of peach shelving and gorgeous ornate chairs lined up to look at the view from tall windows that throw light into the rooms. The garden outside is a wonderful, unexpected hidden oasis full of mature plants – and there’s a covered patio along with spacious grassed and local stone terraces.
In the basement lies the heart of a business opportunity: A vast fully-equipped kitchen plus cellar and separate storage area.
It is the network of rooms on the first floor that perhaps provides the first real glimpse that this place could serve as both a home and business simultaneously, or indeed as one or the other. Upstairs is a complete apartment, with a generous living room and a huge bedroom that’s more than 24’ x 17’. There’s a separate kitchen with a mezzanine level and direct access to a balcony, plus a cosy study and a fitted bathroom.
Combine these with the four rooms of the ground floor and their views over the garden or Independence Square, and that’s quite a home. It’s also quite a business opportunity. At a time when more and more people are taking advantage of the St Kitts and Nevis digital nomad visas, The Gallery Cafe could readily be transformed into an extraordinary co-working venue and as such would be the first of its kind on the islands.
Of course, the combination that has been known and loved for nearly three decades is that of gallery and cafe. There are a multitude of skilled craftspeople on both St Kitts and Nevis and the location of The Gallery Cafe is within easy strolling distance of the cruise ship terminal. With the possibility of offering both authentic Caribbean charm alongside the wares of local artists, this would make it an essential stopover on any cruiser’s trip to the island.
Given that the home stayed in the same family for over two and a half centuries, this is an extremely rare opportunity to purchase a piece of much-loved Kittitian history with unique possibilities to make a significant contribution to the lives of both islanders and visitors.
Or keep it all to yourself and recreate it in its original glory as one of the grandest homes in Basseterre.
