South Africa, Western Cape, Kommetjie, Greenways Drive, 24

This is the love story, of a home and its owners and a transformation that encompasses green space, an inspired sanctuary, a work from home lifestyle while enjoying a separate income generating flatlet and being a stone’s throw from the ocean.

Once in a while a property will blow you away. This creatively inspired home captures snippets of the ocean and frames the greenbelt, while a leisurely stroll will have you on Longbeach within minutes.

The feature front door opens a new world of space, and the double volume ceiling exudes a seaside aesthetic. Open plan living, dining and kitchen areas lead out onto a covered patio and enjoys loads of light. Subtle touches of blue echo just how close the ocean is and some days you may even spot a whale. Gorgeous wooden floors, a fireplace and exquisite tile details complete this inspired interior.

The main bedroom has direct access out to the covered balcony. A charming café window frames the greenbelt beautifully and incorporates a dreamy ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom features wooden floors and serene greenbelt views, while the third bedroom — complete with carpeting, a sink, and patio access — enjoys its own connection to the surrounding greenery. A stylish family bathroom includes both a bath and shower.

Downstairs, versatility meets comfort with a TV lounge, a fabulous office area, guest toilet and direct access into the garage which includes a spacious secure storeroom, laundry and a Studio ideal for creatives or remote work (with the option to convert back into a second garage).

Enhancing the property’s appeal is a fully self-contained flatlet with its own entrance, offering an open-plan bedroom, living area, kitchenette, dining space, and bathroom. Opening onto a private patio and garden, it’s perfect for Airbnb or long-term rental income.
Additional features include outdoor showers, an alarm system, inverter, solar power, and secure automated off-street parking for up to five vehicles, plus guest parking.

Playful yet serene, stylish yet functional — this is coastal living at its most inspired.
