Superbly located in a quiet crescent, this stunning home on a larger-than-average stand welcomes you in. The inviting entrance, with twin water features, introduces the fundamental elements of the home: white shutters, gentle arches, pergolas, stacked rock feature walls and a wraparound ‘stoep’ with lantern lights. The space is amazing – warm, flowing, and tranquil.
Triple garages with barn-style doors continue the theme, in a driveway with copious parking. The entrance hall has a face brick feature wall, which you will see repeated throughout the home. A well-appointed guest suite, complete with kitchenette and desk, has its own external access, making it ideal for long-term visitors.
The living area flows seamlessly from one room to the next, with a vast entertainer’s lounge that
opens to a wide patio through a wall of stacking doors. A character-filled bar, as well as wine storage area, frame the space which is large enough for a full lounge suite and pool table. A closed-combustion wood fireplace keeps it cosy in winter, and the covered patio features a Chado-Chef braai with prep area. The solar-heated pool is sparkling, with a boma at one end for fireside chats and stargazing. The established garden has a lush lawn and lovely tall trees ensuring privacy.
The Martin Meyer kitchen is the centre point at the other end of the home – with Shaker-style cabinetry and stone counters, the palette is soothing. The central island, with seating area, has a gas hob and two undercounter ovens, while the picturesque window alongside looks onto a water feature in a pergola-covered atrium. The large, separate scullery includes a useful pantry. A family lounge adjoins, with arched French doors to the garden and pool area. The stately dining room, with fireplace, is adjacent to the kitchen, linked to the patio.
Upstairs, a pyjama lounge is the perfect spot for kids, while the study enjoys privacy, complete with coffee station. Four bedrooms (one currently furnished as a gym), all en suite, have fantastic natural light - some with pitched ceilings and exposed beams, others opening to balconies. The main suite is luxury epitomised – an opulent space with exposed beams, French doors and a walk-in dressing room that includes a built-in dressing table. The bathroom is spacious, with a freestanding bath, indoor and outdoor shower, as well as a jacuzzi.
There is a smart staff room, with kitchen and shower room, also a garden storeroom. The home has air-conditioning, hydronic underfloor heating and a comprehensive solar, inverter and battery power system. Subterranean water tanks store grey and rainwater for irrigation, and there is an additional 1000L tank of municipal water. The windows are double-glazed, and there is a central vacuum system, as well as a very useful standalone laundry room.
Beautiful, with oodles of space, this stylish family home exudes elegance and charm.
