Mediterranean Living

This sunny southern European-style villa, completely renovated, is situated in a superb position in Higgovale with sweeping, unobstructed views from the Higgo Quarry woodland to Lions Head, across the City Bowl to TableBay against the backdrop of Table Mountain.

Perched high above Invermark Crescent against Glencoe Road, up a driveway to a forecourt with three large undercover parking bays, a double garage and off street parking, one enters through a double volume entrance hall that leads one to the expansive living area level. The lounge is centered around a fireplace with decorative tiling and opens up to the open plan kitchen, dining area and spectacular rounded family room with a modern woodburning fireplace. Stacking doors in both the lounge and dining area open onto a generous covered terrace. A scullery/laundry room off the kitchen leads to the vegetable garden and farm-style backyard with rainwater storage. Tucked away off the entrance hall is a large home office.

Two stairways, one on each end of the house lead to the upper floor with the main bedroom, dressing room and en-suite bathroom, two more bedrooms, family bathroom, a small study and a spectacular circular terrace for drinks and basking in the late afternoon sun. The views are unsurpassed and include Lions Head beyond the Higgo Quarry woodland, the vibrant city below and Table Mountain at one’s back. All bedrooms are generously proportioned, have aircon and built-in cupboards, and lead onto the covered balcony that connects with the circular terrace.

On the lower ground floor level, are two further bedrooms also with covered balcony access, two bathrooms, a wine cellar and a large games’ room that lead onto the covered braai terrace, established garden, lawn and large pool. A built-in bench around a firepit provides a cosy additional lounging area for large scale entertainment. From here there is a beautiful stone path up towards the kitchen past the vegetable garden to harvest your fresh produce.

Facing North and stretching the full width of the property, the entire house is flooded with natural light and takes full advantage of the breathtaking views. The design of this villa was carefully thought-through to allow easy family living. The terracotta tiled roof, shutters, delicate wrought iron balconies and balustrading as well as the patterned Moroccan tiles and soft curves all add to the warm and welcoming Mediterranean feel that is hard to leave once you experience it.
