An Executive Retreat with Lift Access

Indulge your senses with this sophisticated and luxurious retreat against Table Mountain located in a quiet cul-de-sac high up in Higgovale with spectacular north-facing views

One of two luxury units, this 470m² classic Villa offers a wealth of living and entertaining spaces, spread out over four levels with the added convenience of a lift. Being a wide fronted property means that all the living spaces and bedrooms benefit from the panoramic view that sweeps from Lions Head in the West, across the city and Table Bay, all the way to Devils Peak in the East.

From the street level entrance with a video intercom one enters into a grand, double volume atrium with beautiful "Private Collections" light fittings and light flooding in through the glass roof to the first-floor landing leading to a guest cloakroom and self-contained flatlet or fourth bedroom suite. The grandiose wide stone staircase then takes you to the generous living space with space for large or small gatherings, a cosy TV corner with a wood burner as well as underfloor heating throughout. There is a seamless flow from the living area through wide stacking glass doors onto a deep covered terrace that wraps around to the side of the home where there is a pool with plenty of space for lounging and dining while watching your children play. With various entertainment spaces, be it for a celebration of 50 or more guests, a romantic dinner on the front terrace watching the city light up below or long lunches at the pool, this home has it all. The classic solid wood kitchen with a beautiful Rosieres stove and extractor has a large island open to the dining room with space for a 10-seater table where a pair of exquisite “Private Collections” chandeliers features as a focal point in this beautiful space with unobstructive views across the pool terrace, lovely greenery and the City Bowl beyond. Tucked away behind the kitchen is a large scullery with plumbing for all of your appliances and opening from this is a pretty laundry drying courtyard garden.

Take the lift upstairs to the sumptuous master suite with a dressing area, a reading lounge with beautiful views of Table Mountain and the City and the most exquisite bathroom with Victorian and Albert sanitaryware lit up by a classical chandelier from “Private Collections”. The second bedroom is currently used as a study for the owner and shares a beautiful bathroom with a freestanding bath and walk in shower with the third bedroom with built in cupboards and unobstructed City, Lions Head and Signal Hill views too. All of the rooms on this level also have underfloor heating.

The fourth suite or self-contained studio apartment on the lower level can also be accessed from a separate street level entrance. It has a kitchenette, walk-through wardrobes and en-suite as well as its own private balcony which is large enough for a dining table and also has a wonderful city view. This has been a great income generator and lends itself to both long and short-term letting. On the ground floor is an extra deep double garage and another en-suite room that would be the perfect space for a gym, occasional guest room, a carer, au pair, or a staff room. To help you get around the house there is a lift from the ground floor suite, extra security with electric fence, beams and CCTV on the road and Jojo tanks to help conserve water.

This is a once off opportunity to be a proud owner of a beautiful lock up and go Villa with excellent security and the best views.
