A sprawling seven-bedroom family home set on a North Facing stand that has its own dam on a popular estate near Uplands School.
If you are in the market for a property that will suit a multi-family household, or you regularly have guests that stay for longer periods of time, this will be the home for you. The property was originally designed to have two separate flats attached to the house, with the intention to do short term rentals. Subsequently the estate decided against short term rentals, so now you have a home that is perfect for families that have children with large age gaps, or if you have a mother or father living with you. There are essentially two full homes on this property. The “main house’ is characterised by having a large, very modern main bedroom that has a walk-in-closet and a beautiful ensuite bathroom. This section also has two big rooms that share a full bathroom and a pyjama lounge. There is an automated, roll-down barrier, in the passage leading to these rooms. The entrance hall is spacious and well-lit, having a huge window looking out over the garden and dam. To get to the “apartment” it can either be accessed through the same entrance hall, or by a separate entrance. This section of the house has a big lounge/dining room as well as a set of wooden stacking doors that lead out onto a covered balcony. There is a reasonably sized kitchen a bathroom and two bedrooms with built in cupboards and air-conditioning. The property does have a bachelor-style studio, featuring a bedroom, kitchenette and bathroom. This room can either be on its own or incorporated into the apartment. The downstairs portion of the home is really the best part. It has a state of the Arte kitchen, which is the most recent addition to property. This kitchen has a walk-in-pantry, a sperate scullery, a laundry, and it leads out to an enclosed courtyard where the washing-line is as well as the staff quarters. Other features that are found downstairs include a central fireplace, a cigar lounge, an entertainment area which has a built-in braai and best of all is that the downstair area has a massive patio that leads out from either the lounge or the kitchen. There is a guest bedroom downstairs that has a bathroom. The garden is well established with a sprinkling system which is fed from the dam that forms part of the property. The swimming pool is certainly big enough to not only cool down in but exercising in it would be easy. The last significant bonus feature of this property is that it has a powerful solar system with plenty of backup storage. Altogether a great modern home close to town and schools.
