House for sale in Vanes Estate

Exclusive mandate!

This Mediterranean inspired home impresses with its scale, timeless architecture and sought-after address. Fronted by a lawn ideal for ball games, entry is either through the porticoed front door or double garage. Inside is a double-volume entrance hall with soaring clerestory windows – your first step into the ultimate living and entertainment area. Open-plan with an elegant dark wood kitchen on one side, various seating and dining areas, and a fitted bar with stacker doors to the back garden on the other, the space is anchored by a central wood-burning fireplace. In winter, it warms everything up; in summer when the doors are open, the interior merges seamlessly with the garden. Also on the ground floor, which is tiled throughout for uniformity and easy maintenance, are a bedroom with an en suite bathroom and door to the garden, a guest cloakroom and an enclosed braai room. Part of this versatile space can be converted into an income generating flat or an office - or leave it as is for the best in year-round socialising with friends and family.

Another standout feature is the large upstairs landing. Finished with a wrought iron balustrade that echoes the exterior Mediterranean character, it's big enough for a study nook or mini pyjama lounge. Along with the huge main bedroom which boasts a walk-in closet and Hollywood-style full en suite bathroom, there are also two more bedrooms and a family bathroom on this level.

Close to Uitenhage Golf Course, Muir College Boys' High and many other schools, and a 10-minute work and shopping centre commute, this a rare opportunity to buy a substantial home that requires TLC but at a brilliant price in a prime residential suburb. Viewing is by appointment.
