Let Me Entertain You

Originally built in 1921, this fully renovated character home is set in a magical garden with two large avo trees amongst a tall Jacaranda, creating shelter over the lush, level lawn. Be welcomed by the covered patio, large enough for an 8-seater table, with a built-in braai, prep bowl, integrated bin and wood storage, whilst watching the sun set behind Signal Hill.

Fold-back stacking doors lead to the open-plan dining room, lounge and bespoke kitchen, warmed by a central wood-burning fireplace. The open-plan kitchen has everything an entertainer could dream of, centred around a large island counter: gas hob, oven, double sink with suspended drying rack, fridge, under-counter wine fridge, and a coffee station.

Double leaded-glass teak doors open into a large bedroom that leads out onto the back courtyard - perfect for your potted plants. The guest bathroom with shower sits between this room and the second bedroom, which is dressed in elegant wallpaper. The main bedroom, with ample built-in cupboards and a pretty view of Lion's Head, enjoys a spacious en-suite with twin vanities, a heated towel rail, two shower heads, a free-standing bath, and its own view of Table Mountain

Warm Oregon pine floors, high ceilings and large sash windows give the home wonderful charm, while high-quality finishes such as Le Grand light switches and plug points together with energy-efficient lighting introduce modern convenience.

The home is very secure, with American security shutters throughout, an electric fence, alarm, cameras and 6.38mm laminated safety glazing. The former tandem garage has been divided into a single garage and a home gym, which houses the 10kWh inverter and 10kWh batteries powered by 14 solar panels. Both the driveway and garage doors have been custom-made to accommodate the extra height and width of an overland vehicle with rooftop tent, and the driveway comfortably secures two cars and a Venter trailer off-street.

A renovated garden flatlet provides a welcome space for live-in staff or as a quiet home office. A borehole, 10 000-litre rainwater collection tank and 3-zone irrigation system keep the garden thriving year-round.

From the magic of the garden to the ease of the entertainer's kitchen, every detail of this home has been crafted for a life beautifully lived.
