This one-of-a-kind home, designed by noted architect Ian McLellan who "understood what it means to live in a built space", features perfectly proportioned rooms - cosy, tranquil living areas contrast with unexpected explosions of multi-volume space.
Half hidden amongst established trees, this is one of those special homes where memories are made. All-day swimming, late-night cookouts, sleepovers, cars in the driveway, bikes at the ready, sunny mornings filled with giggles, shady afternoons under a tree with a book...yes, this home is the one you wished you lived in. And now it can be yours. You will be immediately drawn to this family home's simplicity, refinement and sumptuous comfort and functionality.
The elegant living rooms share a common element that is visually pleasing; they highlight a neutral colour scheme that is luxurious yet extremely inviting. Living rooms are a place to relax, enjoy conversation and delight in the comforts of home. These spaces radiate a timeless elegance with a palette of soothing neutrals and an abundance of textures.
The passageway to the four bedrooms and bathrooms is a work of art; its length is punctuated by different floor levels, angles, and plaster treatments. The flourishing established garden is an oasis with a variety of flowers and trees overlooking the swimming pool with water blue as the sky and clear as crystal - soothing the eyes and refreshing the mind and body. This designer home is ready for the next owners to bring it into the 21st century!
Additional features include a generously proportioned external studio suitable for either home gym or office, staff suite, parking for ample cars and Multi-layered security. Close to Sandton City and Sandton Convention Centre, Rosebank business and retail district, Melrose Arch, Hyde Park,
Killarney, Norwood Mall, Universities (Wits and UJ), Schools (St Mary's, St Johns, St Stithians, King
David etc.) and numerous houses of worship.
