On the Market: Renovated North End vacation home has European feel
29.09.11
Palm Seashore is, quite simply, a perfect vacation spot, go together Tom and Monica Hodge, who divide their time among several homes worldwide, including one on the Mediterranean ait of Cypress. But they have been coming to Palm Beach on holiday for 35 years.
“It’s a giant place to come with the grandchildren, and it’s a very nice spark of life,” Tom Hodge says.
“We love walking to the lakeshore and along the Intracoastal Waterway. And we love driving to the local restaurants on the atoll. In fact, although we often stay for weeks in Palm Beach, we find that we don’t deviate from the island because everything we want is right here.”
Their 1939 Bermuda-fashion home is at 201 Indian Road at the northern tip of the archipelago on a corner lot with deeded beach access. They bought the race about a half-dozen years ago and extensively renovated it to lodge the needs of their family.
The main house has three bedrooms and four bathrooms, while in the discrete guesthouse are two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a kitchenette. That adds up to 4,149 straightforward feet of living space, inside and out.
