Living at this exclusive estate in Paarl was a carefully calculated choice on the part of the owners, who value raising their young children in a manner resembling their own upbringings, within open and free surroundings.
Anton du Toit of ADT Construction says that this successful project evolved as the building of the house progressed. The wonderful positioning of the house created the luxury of seeing incredible sunsets from the back, and breathtaking sunrises from the front. The owner says that one of the many reasons for their choice of estate was the aesthetic beauty of Pearl Valley. Outdoor areas are enhanced by superior-quality natural timber decking around the pool and patio areas, and beautiful tiling provides natural finishes to these areas.
On the interior front, daily living areas were designed to provide comfort and perfect flow. The gorgeous imported Italian designer kitchen and dining areas flow into the living rooms, while the media room, complete with beautiful starlights, is separate.
One of the prominent features of this home is the spacious interior, where a magnificent wide timber staircase leads to the bedroom areas upstairs. In the master bedroom, generous space throughout the dressing room and lavish bathroom has created an exceptionally relaxing ambience.
For this young family who also value the smaller luxuries of their lifestyle, including children cycling around the estate freely, or being dropped off at their pre-school in the estate by golf cart, their home is a treasure in itself.
