House sold in Constantia Upper

Dual Mandate

This magnificent home exudes architectural elegance, boasting high ceilings, generous proportions, and exquisite detailing, including deep cornices and skirting boards. Designed to elevate your lifestyle, it faces north and features a broad covered verandah with living and dining areas that overlook a verdant garden and tranquil brook nestled amidst stately trees in a serene cul-de-sac setting.

On the ground floor, the reception rooms offer a seamless flow: An inviting entrance hall with wide passage, high ceilings, and a guest cloakroom welcomes you. The formal lounge, with wood flooring and a fireplace, has French doors opening to the expansive covered verandah. The large dining room, also with wood flooring and French doors to the verandah, adjoins the family room through sliding doors. The porcelain-tiled family room, open-plan to the kitchen, includes a fireplace, built-in units, and fold-back doors that open to the verandah and swimming pool. A study with coir carpeting provides a quiet retreat.

The Provençale kitchen, with an open-plan layout, offers copious built-in cupboards with shaker doors, Caesarstone countertops, and a center island with a wooden top. Equipped with a freestanding electric oven, 5-plate gas hob, and extractor fan, it includes a breakfast counter that bridges the kitchen and family room. A separate laundry and scullery provide ample storage and space for three appliances, with sandblasted glass in the sliding door separating the kitchen from the scullery/laundry. A door opens to an outside drying yard.

The upstairs area features four luxurious bedrooms and three bathrooms, with underfloor heating in all bedrooms and bathrooms. Ascend the staircase to a broad carpeted landing that leads to the bedrooms. The sunny main bedroom, with American shutters, offers an expansive dressing area and a full en-suite bathroom with a separate toilet and bidet. The second and third bedrooms, each with built-in cupboards and dressing tables, share a full family bathroom and open onto a large balcony. The fourth bedroom, with an en-suite shower and built-in cupboards, also opens onto the balcony.

Outbuildings and special features enhance the living experience: A double garage with direct access to the hall, a swimming pool set amidst a landscaped garden with a running stream and established trees, and a fully computerized garden irrigation system fed by a borehole cater to outdoor enjoyment.

Security is paramount: A wrought iron garden fence, internal security alarm system, and outside beams provide peace of mind. The upstairs bedroom area is further secured by remote-controlled vertical roller security shutters. A 24/7 guardhouse at the entrance to Fern Close and Willowbrooke Lane, with access control monitoring, ensures your peace of mind.

Conveniently situated close to all of Constantia's amenities and a variety of scenic walking trails.
