Courtyards with high walls and private decked spaces, lush foliage and shaded by beautiful trees - this unusual, property, designed by renowned Studio Mas Architects, is sublime. The classic, contemporary sitting room with wood-burning fireplace, has floor-to-ceiling glass doors and windows, providing a seamless inside-outside flow. Continuing in the open-plan theme, the dining area - with gas heater - and very functional, stylish galley kitchen, with beautiful steel, marble and wood finishes, add to the distinct character of the home.

The first floor is comprised of the beautiful main bedroom and a second bedroom, both of which exude an atmosphere of serenity. Finishes include magnificent African mahogany built-in cupboards in both rooms. The bedrooms share a 'wet-room' style bathroom with shower.

With a separate entrance, the stunning roof-top studio, complete with bathroom and kitchenette - is infused with so much light through skylights and surrounding windows, which provide a 360 degree view across the treetops of Johannesburg. This rentable space is perfect as an office, creative design studio, an entertainment area or perhaps a quirky bedsitter.

Features of this stunning property include parking for several cars, shaded by beautiful Acacia trees, and a generator, shared with the two other units.

Located in Forest Town, with great proximity to prominent hospitals, main arterial routes and the universities, this unique mixed-use property would suit the business commuter who requires a bolthole in Johannesburg, the 'work-from-home' individual, or those who really want something completely different.
