Property description

Oh Boy! – someone’s just about to hit the Property Jackpot! – let me tell you why! …

The owner of this fabulous property is an entrepreneur of note; operating with great success in a number of amazingly diverse fields. And, although Interior Design isn’t one of those fields that she generates income from, it most certainly could be, as proven beyond doubt when you reflect on the extraordinary make-over she’s given this home over the last 2 years; employing flair, impeccable style, an incredible eye for detail and a mind-set of not being prepared to scrimp on the necessary costs to achieve her goals.

Having purchased this property in 2024, she set about completely re-modelling the entire home from top to bottom, to create her ultimate “forever home” for her and her family to enjoy - but sometimes - things change; and now, with great reluctance, she needs to pass on her master-piece to a lucky new owner.

This house sits on a large corner plot (a full 839 sq m, no less!) in one of the most sought-after streets in the whole suburb and is probably the finest example that currently exists of a fully modernised home in the mid-range price band within Flamingo Vlei.

This is a big house, ultra-spacious at a full 280 sq m under roof - so no pokey little rooms to contend with here!

Coming through the stylish front door, one enters a delightful entrance hall which in turn, leads into the cavernous living area, consisting of distinct and separate lounge and dining areas; serviced by a nothing-short-of magnificent kitchen - and the first impression this all creates, is that someone really got it right when designing the “flow” of this property – it’s both faultless and effortless – so “perfect” would be the word!

The living area and kitchen are all finished with super-sized Italian tiles. The lounge has sliding doors leading out onto the breath-taking patio deck – more about which later. The entire living area benefits from a double-sided central gas fire, which heats the entire house during our cold Winter months; and when the weather changes, there’s a big air-conditioning unit to keep the place like a cool oasis, away from the extremes of the outside heat in Summer.

The dining room area can easily accommodate a 10-seater table and integrates perfectly with the kitchen, which is a sea of sumptuous granite tops and dark wood storage cupboards, all built around a superb centre island, which will be nothing less than an inspiration to the Corden-Bleu Gordon Ramsay that lurks in each and every one of us! There’s also a fully fitted scullery for all the appliances, which in turn, leads out onto a purpose-built outdoor “breakfast patio”, where you can sit to enjoy your morning coffee, whilst taking in the majestic local landscape.

The master bedroom is something to behold and has been enhanced with air-conditioning; a tasteful built-in dressing table; arrays of cupboards including a large walk-in closet – and a beautiful en-suite full bathroom consisting of a bath, shower, basin and loo.

Bedroom no. 2 continues the theme of luxury, with a really large room that can easily accommodate a king-size bed and likewise, in addition to the array of built-in cupboards, has its own en-suite shower room .

Bedroom 3 also boasts more-than-generous space and is serviced by a family bathroom, consisting of a bath with over-shower, basin and loo.

And then, finishing off the accommodation area, is a decent-sized fourth bedroom or remote-working home business office – fibre-connected, of course! All 4 rooms in the accommodation wing are finished with wood-effect laminate flooring.

OK, let’s head back to the living area and discover some other of the features that make this place so special! So, the dining room area also has double sliding doors which lead out onto the covered and paved braai-room where, as one might expect, there’s a big built-in braai. However, what most certainly wouldn’t expect, is for one corner of the dazzling swimming pool to be located under the braai room roof, so you can actually get into the pool without having to go into the garden! – with access steps and even sliding doors “floating” over the pool surface! A really charming and pretty unique feature, I think most would agree! …

Both the braai room and the lounge area have doors leading out onto the wooden patio deck which has been constructed there – the rest of the back garden consists of large-slab paving, with top-of-the-range artificial grass laid in between. The visual result is compelling, eye-catching and as thoroughly modern, as modern can be!. And then on the one side of the pool, another raised deck has been positioned, to cater for the sun loungers, from which to “catch the rays” throughout the day.

Compared to the precision and symmetry of the back garden, the front garden in distinct contrast. It’s largely paved, but where it isn’t, a “fairyland” of wonderful eccentricity has been created, with beautifully landscaped nooks and crannies of surprises, including delightful lighting at night, stone steps, gravel pathways, and an “Alice in Wonderland” swing made with such love, for the owner’s Grandchild.

The entire proposition is finished with a large double garage with auto-doors, that has an access door leading to the back garden; and from there, into the house via either the braai room, the lounge area or the master bedroom.

Extras? … we don’t have space to detail everything, so here’s a taster! The security is world class; comprehensive alarm system of course; 6 CCTV cameras feeding 24/7 to your phone or the TVs in the house. Trellidoors across all the sliding doors and all the windows are fitted with state-of-the-art burglar bars that need nothing short of a full-on angle grinder to make a dent in! The entire roof of the property was recently replaced with modern-day roof tiles. The breakfast patio has an automatically controlled awning that retracts if high winds or heavy rains are detected. There’s a fully functioning well point, Jo-Jo tank and electronically programmed and activated irrigation system. A pool cover – oh, and the thoughtful inclusion of a discreet outside toilet, servicing the pool and patio areas. – I’ve run out of space! - leaving me just one paragraph to conclude.

This is a superb example of a renovated Flamingo Vlei classic.
