“The Glebe House”: A Remarkable Blend of Contemporary - Mid-Century Modern Design and Historic Significance. Built in 1960, then the most expensive house ever built in Bermuda. The design is attributed to a protégé of the world-renowned Frank Lloyd Wright, with the home built as the private island retreat for then-Governor of Bermuda, The Rt. Hon. Lord Martonmere, PC, KCMG and his wife, Lady Martonmere.
An entertainer's delight, The Glebe House is nestled at the peak of a hill in Tucker's Town, bearing the home’s namesake, Glebe Hill. This exceptional property occupies the most private, elevated hilltop location offering both seclusion and breathtaking views of Bermuda.
Spanning 8,200 square feet of thoughtfully designed interiors and situated on just over one acre of well-appointed, verdant land. The Glebe House is perfectly suited for social gatherings, corporate events, and large celebrations, as well as more intimate family gatherings. Each room flows effortlessly into the next, allowing guests to enjoy an expansive living experience. The property boasts panoramic vistas encompassing the azure ocean and lush golf courses, with scenic views stretching from the South Shore, East to Castle Harbour, North to Harrington Sound, and West over the prestigious Mid Ocean Golf Course.
This substantial residence features:
A main house of five bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. Two guest, one-bedroom apartments, both with sitting rooms and en-suite bathrooms and 3 staff rooms with a shared bathroom. In total, seven spacious bedrooms with seven bathrooms, two half bathrooms, and three staff bedrooms. All are distributed across two levels and serviced by a convenient elevator. The accommodations are airy and well-proportioned, ensuring comfort and elegance throughout. At the heart of the home lies the gracious Great Room, a double-height room featuring 20-foot ceilings designed to interconnect living areas, including the chic curved dining room with a custom-built mid-century designed curved ebony and inlaid dining table, a cosy library, inviting outdoor patios, and a professional-grade kitchen that inspires culinary creativity.
The master wing is a true sanctuary, comprising a serene primary bedroom and sitting area with its very own spectacular panoramic views, a pair of expansive his and her dressing rooms, each with its own his and her bathrooms.
