WELL BUILT NORTH FACING HOME

SOLE MANDATE

Set in a leafy suburb with fabulous views of the ocean and mountains. Open plan living areas, easy flow onto a verandah leading down to a large swimming pool set in a fully walled garden. Solar installation, Water tank, Irrigation, double glazing, and much more.

It is the owners’ flair for creative design that makes this modern residence an exceptionally distinctive home. From the moment you pass through the entrance with its water feature and handy woodstore, through the wooden front door or folding glass doors, stepping onto the terracotta shaded porcelan tiles, appreciating the coolness of the tints of light grey and white, you know this could be your dream home.

The open plan living area with its comfortable lounge invites you to sit for a moment and absorb the ambience of light, space and imaginative layout. The easy flow onto the roofed verandah takes you to a secluded al fresco eating spot, where comfy seats are built into a low wall. Steps lead down to a large swimming pool set in a lush garden, with a lovely view of the ocean. North facing, this home is positioned just right to enjoy the sun rising and setting.

From my chair in the lounge, I notice a few steps leading up to the kitchen, but on the left my eyes pause to take in an inviting bar with solid wood units cleverly integrated with the steps forming a divider between lounge and kitchen. A wood burner heats the whole area.

For the fastidious cook, the kitchen is an absolute delight. Streamlined is an understatement as all the appliances are integrated with work tops and out of sight behind elegant grey or white doors – even the coffee station. There is a five hob gas cooker,electric oven and microwave. A scullery adjacent to the kitchen.

The rest of the living area includes a cosy television space and a formal dining room giving onto a shady L shaped deck and jacuzzi, ideal for entertaining.

The guest bathroom is accessed from the lounge, as is the large double garage which also houses a work bench and Solar inverter.

The two generously sized ground floor bedrooms are carpeted, with ample cupboards, giving onto a tiled patio and garden. The shared full bathroom has a sunken bath.

The tiled staircase has an unusual vertical stainless steal handrail and takes us up to a sitting room with a spectacular view over rooftops and pretty gardens to the exquisite panorama of the blue Indian Ocean where the Bay curves round to meet the misty Tsitsikamma Mountains in the distance. The view is maximized by the large picture windows and sliders giving onto a patio with built-in seats.

The large, lovely main bedroom leads off the sitting room and is full of light, having windows on three sides and giving onto the patio. The full bathroom has a large shower and features tiles with a Moorish design. A dressing room is neatly placed between bedroom and bathroom.

The fourth bedroom gives onto a balcony and has an en suite shower room with twin basins and a large moveable cupboard unit which serves to separate bathroom from bedroom. There is a large storeroom on this floor. The white painted vertical pine doors throughout add a touch of country style, relaxed living.

Lighting is all Led - either downlighters or versatile track; lighting in the upper lounge is particularly attractive with lights scattered across the ceiling like stars. Colourful curtains dress the windows.

A variety of trees, shrubs and flower beds grace the mature, landscaped garden, as do the variety of birds that have made their home here. The underground 7500l. rain tank keeps the garden green and lush.

This property is one of a kind and will appeal to the discerning person with an eye for creative, balanced design resulting in a home that is both harmonious and comfortable.

Bowtie suburb sits in an enviable position above the town, yet the town centre, schools, Medi clinic and beaches are all close by – ideal for a family of growing children needing easy access to the many amenities offered by this vibrant, growing town.
