The home spans three levels: ground, upper ground, and basement. The ground floor welcomes you through a secure entrance porch into a vast marble-floored entrance hall. A wood-paneled study with a fireplace, built-in cupboards, and a mini-bar provides a sophisticated workspace. The expansive formal lounge, featuring
a fireplace, built-in bar cupboard, and generous windows, is bathed in natural light. A dining room and large family lounge offer additional living space, complemented by a guest toilet and cloakroom. The spacious country-style kitchen, complete with a built-in breakfast nook, scullery, and pantry, is a chef's delight. A fitted laundry room and covered patios, accessible from both the formal and family lounges, complete this level.
The upper ground floor houses four large bedrooms. Three bathrooms (one en-suite) and a separate toilet cater to the family's needs, along with a linen closet. Thoughtful details include built-in headboards with cupboard space in the children's bedrooms, and a bedroom with feminine finishes and a built-in dressing table. The main bedroom suite boasts two dressing areas, a full bathroom, and a separate toilet with a bidet. A heavy pocket security gate secures this floor.
The basement level comprises a double tandem garage and a large utility room with ample louvred built-in cupboards, including two sleeping bunks. Outside, a swimming pool is complemented by a change room with a shower and separate toilet. The staff quarters, consisting of three rooms and a bathroom, are located adjacent to the change room.
