Modern Family Retreat

Situated in Higgovale’s premier St John’s Estate, this exceptional family home offers sweeping views and a level living area with a garden that inspires both awe and relaxation. Built above a rare four-car garage, the home and garden extend across the full width of the erf, capturing breathtaking vistas over leafy Higgovale towards Lion’s Head, Signal Hill, and a glimpse of Table Bay.

Generously proportioned with high ceilings and abundant natural light, the interiors are both elegant and practical. The kitchen centres around a large island with clean, timeless finishes and layered lighting. A freestanding gas stove, space for a double fridge, and ample storage make everyday living effortless. The adjoining scullery and laundry include stainless steel worktops and a full inverter and solar battery system, leading to a leafy backyard and a private staff room with independent access. The open-plan dining area, lounge with fireplace, and braai room flow seamlessly through sliding and stacking doors to a terrace, lawn, and pool - all enjoying protected views over the estate’s established roofscape. A quiet study is tucked away from the social spaces.

Upstairs, four light-filled bedroom suites open to view-facing balconies. Each features crisp white bathrooms, built-in cupboards, and soft fitted carpets. The main suite includes a lounge area, a luxurious bathroom that embraces the views, and timber pergolas that provide shade from the afternoon sun.

A private cobbled driveway offers ample space for children to play or guests to park, with additional visitor parking nearby. In the exclusive enclave of St John’s Estate, Higgovale, life unfolds with quiet confidence — a place to live freely, doors open to the mountain air, sheltered from the wind and protected by 24-hour security. A true sanctuary in the heart of the city.

For those who value a walkable lifestyle, Kloof Street’s cafés, restaurants, and shops are just a short stroll away, with easy access to Table Mountain’s hiking trails and the blue-flag beaches of the Atlantic Seaboard. Popular nearby schools include Camps Bay, Herzlia, Jan van Riebeeck, St Cyprian’s and The German International School Cape Town.
