Up for offer is one of Hope Town's largest historical beach properties with almost .75 of an acre set on 100 feet of oceanfront. The home was the private retreat of its previous owner, Dr. George Gallup, the American pioneer of survey techniques and inventor of the Gallup Poll. Gallup knew what he was doing when he purchased this property with its beautiful sandy beach, privacy, and the perfect location within walking distance to all amenities. Sited on an excellent elevation, it is very secluded with a gated entrance, and surrounded by mature tropical foliage. The home is 836 sq. ft. with 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms. It still retains most of its original Loyalist style construction including the high pitched shake roof, open beam ceilings, wood floors, locally hand-milled Abaco Pine interior, and the traditional style wood shutters on windows and doors. Designed to maximize the cross breezes, the home features open porches and a detached bedroom pod. The home is of museum quality, and would be a remarkable island haven.
