Positioned in one of the most prestigious and secure roads of upper Bedfordview.
Beautiful architecture by Architect Pierre Swanepoel, invites you into a double volume entrance hall, with exquisite double doors and artistically designed, bespoke security door. A charming guest loo is tucked to the side. Down a few stairs to a beautiful open-plan space, comprising luxurious lounge and dining room, all opening onto a dramatic double volume covered patio, via stack-back doors. The reception rooms are given a warm glow from the gas fireplace, which is housed in a reclaimed, antique surround of impressive proportions. Through to a lovely kitchen, with solid Cherrywood cupboards, granite tops and a very versatile ‘breakfast bar’, for casual meals. Appliances include an Electric stove, Extractor, double under-counter oven, spacious walk-in pantry and separate scullery. (A second double garage gives direct access into the kitchen, making carrying the shopping a breeze) An enticing 600 x bottle Wine Cellar with solid wooden feature shelving, discreetly tucked in at one end of the reception area, will add special interest to any dinner party! Off to the one side is an independent wing comprising two bedrooms, and two en-suite bathrooms, with a separate entrance. A kitchenette serves this bedroom section, making it the perfect set-up to rent out, or for use at ground-floor level, as a granny-flat or teenage pad. One of the two double garages can also be designated to this wing exclusively if desired, as it has direct access into it.
Upstairs via an elegant staircase of solid wooden and bespoke hand-crafted bannister, into an enormous TV/pyjama lounge, including 2 x plush studies. These overlook the gorgeous patio and entertainment areas of the landscaped garden. The symmetry of the upper level with cosy gas fireplace, is superb, with a bedroom situated at the two ends of this lavish lounge/study area. The carpeted double Guest room at one end boasts an inviting Bay Window, built-in cupboards, and is en-suite to a full bathroom including a free-standing bath and shower. A lavish, carpeted Master suite completes this upper level, and offers an appealing retreat in the glamorous bathroom, with a corner spa bath, double shower and double vanity. Neutral tiles and calming tones set the scene for a relaxing sanctuary.
The ground floor entertainment area is absolutely gorgeous. It is very imposing with double volumes, dramatic curtains drawn to the side, and a choice of two braai types: either coals or gas !
A beautiful seating area serves this area, and the absolutely lovely garden is a gorgeous backdrop to a special place for friends and family.
SECURITY: This road is closed off at both top and bottom gates – with 24/7 security at each, with patrols and armed response. Access is very restricted, via finger prints for pedestrians, or specific codes linked to the owner’s cell phone, for vehicles. Remote controlled access vehicular gates to the property, and to the 4 x car garage doors. The house is fitted with PIR’s, perimeter beams and internal sensors.
FEATURES : A staff suite includes a kitchen facility as well as a bathroom en suite. Low maintenance aluminium windows throughout. This building has been designed so as to facilitate the addition of 2 x en suite bedroom units on top of the two garages ! This adds huge potential for expansion. An extensive 12 x station sprinkler system serves the entire garden.
