With its modern architecture and perfectly manicured landscapes, the exterior of the home emits a tranquil and sophisticated ambience. Opting for a neutral palette on the exterior also enhanced the natural and timeless appeal that the owners were aiming for.
The interiors exhibit an abundance of natural light and space. All of the rooms were designed to be both modern and classic in their appeal, and were decorated as such. By collecting pictures from numerous magazines and making a scrapbook of different styles, the owners were able to settle on the theme that suited their needs and lifestyles the most, and the idea for a modern, yet classic, home was set in stone.
Classic pieces of furniture include an elegant dining room suite that has been perfectly upholstered using luxurious fabrics in a neutral tone. Persian rugs, timeless artwork and subtle lighting also come together to enhance the classic theme.
With a fully kitted culinary space, a central vacuum system, a state-of-the-art fireplace and hi-tech audio and visual system, the owners have ensured that the modern side of their home induces easy and comfortable living. One of the many highlights of this home is the indulgent jetted spa bath, which not only gives the owners the perfect place to relax and unwind, but also increases the value of their property.
Due to the size of the stand, another feature of the home is the outdoor spaces. The bottom level boasts a gorgeous pool and landscaped garden that have been designed so that the owners and their family can spend quality time soaking up the magnificent South African sunshine. On the upper level, a fully kitted balcony has been furnished with a lounger and umbrella, creating the perfect space for cocktails or just relaxing with a book on hand.
Since this home borders on a large family park, the owners are also fortunate enough to be able to enjoy absolute spaciousness and breathtaking views that truly complement a home of this elegant, sophisticated and timeless nature.
