A soothsayer told his mother that he would one day "walk with kings." Who is this man who was destined for such greatness? Sir Sidney Poitier, Bahamian-American actor, film director, author and diplomat. Born and bred in the Bahamas, and then moving to the United States to eventually conquer Broadway and the big silver screen. As it turns out, Poitier not only walks amongst kings and queens, he himself has become Hollywood royalty: regal, refined and revered. He is a living testament to anything is possible.
With that in mind, what do you want to live out? Are some telling you that your dreams are out of reach. Well, as Audrey Hepburn said, "nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'i'm possible'." And Poitier has proven this maxim. And to this day, there’s just no comparing Poitier, unless you’re to superimpose his royal status on some swanky real estate. For example, the following homes are located in the most ideal locations in the Bahamas and may be described using adjectives that are also used to describe the Bahamian king, SSP: extraordinary, exalted and exuding excellence.
And for those of you who want to live in Bahamian luxury, simply peruse below and revel in some Bahamian bravado at its best.
Luxurious sleeping, Bahamian grand style.
An ocean view fit for a king.
Soaking up the sun here begs for some beaches and crème: two ingredients that make up a nirvana cocktail calling for you to sip, sip and sip away.
Morning coffee accompanied by an incomparable view.
This grand kitchen calls for the frolicking of family, friends and food.
The blues of the Caribbean serve as the backdrop to this majestic home.
Siesta time has never looked so good.
A hammock suited for nothing less than royalty, no?
These turquoise waters are simply breathtaking.
The aforementioned homes are legendary. Poitier has said that he'll "always be chasing . . . Glory," and if he lived in any one of the foregoing exalted homes, he'd surely find it.
