Description
Time-honoured Family Residence set on an Acre of Prime Land
Nestled at the end of a quiet country lane and surrounded by magnificent mountain views, this well-loved family residence exudes warmth and character, which embodies long established and traditional styling elements such as a practical front portico, Terracotta tiled roof, well-maintained wooden sash windows and sliding doors, plus a combination of ceramic tiles and neutral carpeting throughout.
The elegant wooden entrance door, with a sand-blasted glass lemon tree design, signals the love of the landscaping creative, so evident in the garden layout.
An entertainer's delight flows through to a formal open plan dining room and sitting room with a wood-burning fireplace, which leads to a substantial conservatory, with stackable glass doors, filled with natural light and showcasing gorgeous garden views, for all-year-round informal dining and entertainment.
The conservatory also features a built-in gas braai with extractor fan, kitchenette, bar fridge, plus a jacuzzi hot tub. Electric blinds at the front of the conservatory controls the light level required.
The classic modern farmhouse kitchen features soft cream and sage green cupboards, glass cupboard doors for glassware storage and presentation, appropriate lighting throughout, Caesarstone counter tops, Hans Grohe taps, a Smeg double oven and stove, water filtration system and a generous scullery and laundry.
Five luxurious bedrooms with built-in cupboards in the main house, three situated upstairs. The master bedroom is substantial with built-in cupboards, airconditioner, a lounging area with picture windows providing exquisite views of the koi ponds, stream and garden below. The en-suite bathroom features a spacious corner Spa bath, vanity cupboard with two hand basins, separate shower and toilet.
North-facing sliding doors open to a large tiled balcony, off the master bedroom, to enjoy your morning beverage, soak up the sun and delight in the birdsong and butterflies, which abound in the verdant garden. The Constantiaberg mountain range provides a stunning backdrop.
Four further well-appointed bathrooms, Guest cloakroom, TV lounge with gas fireplace and access to the garden deck. Two large studies, with additional shelving units, are located in the North and South wings of the residence, both with guest bedrooms, en-suite (or additional reception rooms if required). Gas fireplace in the North wing study. Both wings have separate entrances, perfect for Airbnb or private guest access. Two further outside bedrooms, one en-suite, a guest cloakroom and outside shower can also be utilized for guests or domestic accommodation.
