EXCLUSIVE LISTING

Illuminate Real Estate is proud to showcase this beautiful, inviting family home on the doorstep of Cape Town’s top schools, UCT, the Liesbeek River gardens, magical Newlands Forest, Cavendish and only three traffic lights away from the flowing part of the M3 to the city/airport. Positioned on a statement corner stand with an option to create a second entrance, the property feels spacious and open. North-facing with garden on three sides, offering flexible entertainment options and room for ball sports. The original front door has been beautifully restored to a golden natural hue and sets the tone for the peaceful, calm colour palette found inside. An entrance hall leads left up a staircase to the 5^th bedroom/home office with separate study space, loo and basin (with plumbing for a bath/shower). To the right of the entrance hall is a palatial living room with wood-burning fireplace, oodles of natural light, and stacking doors onto the garden.

A beautiful, modern kitchen with mobile island, built-in gas hob, ovens, prep bowl, and separate scullery (space for 3 washing appliances) sits between the main living room and the back garden - where a collection of citrus trees and jasmine fill the air with gorgeous fragrance and birdlife. A washing line and 7500L of water storage is tucked away on one side of the back garden, while the other side leads to a staff changing room with loo and basin. From the kitchen one passes through a TV/playroom (with stunning freestanding fireplace) that forms the link between the internal and external entertainment spaces via a second set of stacking doors. The North-facing undercover patio ensures that you can braai all year round, while a modern goldilocks swimming pool offers relief on hot summer days. Behind the patio is a passage which leads to the guest bedroom (ensuite) and an automated, oversized double garage. Additional, secure, undercover parking for two large cars in front of the garage.

Along the bedroom wing of the home (on the East) are 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a cloakroom. The rooms are spacious, have high ceilings, and all have built-in cupboards. There is additional linen/jacket storage under the staircase. Extras include excellent security all round, a solar system, and irrigation. This is a beautiful home that would suit both a family with children, or empty-nesters who enjoy the luxuries that the area offers without excessive garden to maintain.

Viewing by appointment only.
