The exterior of the house is in perfect balance with the picturesque garden, and the owners enjoy the views of the large accessible common ground areas around the estate, which are teeming with natural wildlife.
Chocolate brown leather couches and dark wooden furniture provide the interior with depth and a sense of comfort, while splashes of lighter fabrics create a beautiful contrast. Paintings in warm rich tones and imported carpets from Dubai and India provide various areas with the owners’ personal touch and add warmth, while strategically placed fire places create a cosy and inviting ambience.
Dark wooden cabinetry has again been coupled with light countertops in the kitchen, and stainless steel appliances add a stylish and modern finishing touch. This culinary space is every chef’s dream. Expanses of glass allow for an abundance of natural light to filter through, and enable the owners to enjoy their surrounding tranquil views.
Sliding doors open up onto a large patio area which overlooks the rim-flow pool and is also host to exquisite patio furniture. This abode has a fun-filled entertainment area combined with an indoor braai area, pool table and bar. A theatre room is also located on the lower level and allows for hours of movie watching in the comfort of your own home.
Each individual bathroom features state of the art vanities and fittings, and the freestanding bathtub in the master bedroom allows for those long and lingering soaks.
Giving true meaning to “country living” in the city, this home enables the owners to completely relax while feeling protected and secure, and with beautiful views to enjoy from almost anywhere, it truly is a safe-haven.
