Description

Set at the end of a quiet, tree-lined cul-de-sac in the heart of Upper Constantia, this exceptionally spacious "presidential style" residence offers an impressive combination of scale, accommodation and lifestyle appeal.

Designed for those who appreciate generous proportions and the freedom to entertain on a grand scale, this substantial home offers 9 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, multiple reception and entertainment areas, and an extraordinary 10-car garage, a rare proposition for the area.

A striking double volume entrance creates an immediate sense of arrival, an elegant formal dining room is beautifully proportioned and enjoys its own guest cloakroom, while the formal lounge features an open fireplace, creating a warm and inviting setting for more intimate occasions.

The large family room, with fireplace, provides a relaxed everyday living space with an elegant sweeping staircase leading to the upper-level accommodation. A separate study caters comfortably to those working from home.

Two exceptionally generous guest suites are conveniently positioned on the ground floor, each with their own en-suite bathrooms which are ideal for extended family or visitors seeking privacy.

For the entertainer, the home offers an impressive array of spaces. A versatile entertainment room or library features extensive built-in shelving and a fitted bar, creating an inviting setting for relaxed evenings and gatherings. A dedicated wine cellar adds another layer of appeal for the enthusiast plus on a lower level a fully fitted cinema room.

The entertainment area extends outdoors to a covered space overlooking the pool, complete with a built-in braai and jacuzzi (not tested). Beyond lies a large terrace surrounding the swimming pool, providing ample space for outdoor dining, entertaining and enjoying the peaceful garden setting.

The kitchen is practical and generously sized, complemented by a separate cold store and excellent supporting space.

Upstairs, the sweeping staircase leads to the remaining bedrooms and private accommodation, offering considerable flexibility for a large family, visiting guests or those requiring substantial space under one roof. 4 Generous ensuite bedrooms most with their own balcony or outdoor space.

Perhaps one of the property's most remarkable features is the 10-car garage, offering an exceptional opportunity for the serious car collector or enthusiast. The expansive garage area incorporates a bar, bathroom and additional space that could be configured to suit a variety of uses, from a private collection showroom to an ultimate recreational zone.

A separate three-bedroom cottage provides independent accommodation for extended family, guests or staff, offering valuable flexibility and privacy away from the main residence.

Outside, the property unfolds into an expansive mature garden, characterised by broad stretches of lawn and established trees. The generous grounds provide a rare sense of space and privacy, while the pool and terrace create a natural focal point for summer entertaining.

There is also ample secure off-street parking beyond the extensive garaging.

About Lew Geffen Sotheby's International Realty, Cape Town

49 Tokai Road, Tokai Western Cape Province 7945

Since the founding of the Sotheby's Auction House in 1744, the Sotheby's name has earned renown as a marketer of the worlds most valuable and prestigious possessions. This reputation is built as much upon exceptional service to clients as on the notable luxury property such as art, antiques, jewellery and other holdings that pass through Sotheby's offices worldwide. The Sotheby's International Realty® organisation began in 1976, in part to serve clients desiring a complete package of estate disposition services, and soon became known for representing extraordinary property auctions and property sales throughout the world.

The Dawning of Lew Geffen Sotheby's International Realty

Although the affiliation to the Sotheby's International Realty® network began in July 2000, Lew and Sandy Geffen created the base of luxury property excellence when they opened their flagship office, Lew Geffen Estates, in 1982 in Johannesburg. Over the next 20 years the Company became a market leader in Johannesburg, with over 200 agents operating in 12 branches. Lew Geffen was inspired by one of his colleagues to investigate an association with Sotheby's International Realty® and became an Affiliate. The rest, as they say, is history.

With the input of the legendary Sotheby's International Realty® brand, the company Lew Geffen Sotheby's International Realty grew to be represented throughout South Africa. Barak Geffen led the charge to this expansion and Yael Geffen inspired the marketing. Outside of the United States, Lew Geffen Sotheby's International Realty is the biggest single operation and is proud to be a member of Sotheby's International Realty® worldwide which has 845 offices and 19,000 sales associates located in 63 countries and territories globally.
