Set at the end of a quiet, tree-lined cul-de-sac in the heart of Upper Constantia, this exceptionally spacious "presidential style" residence offers an impressive combination of scale, accommodation and lifestyle appeal.
Designed for those who appreciate generous proportions and the freedom to entertain on a grand scale, this substantial home offers 9 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, multiple reception and entertainment areas, and an extraordinary 12-car garage, a rare proposition for the area.
A striking double volume entrance creates an immediate sense of arrival, an elegant formal dining room is beautifully proportioned, while the formal lounge features an open fireplace, creating a warm and inviting setting for more intimate occasions.
The large family room, with fireplace, provides a relaxed everyday living space with an elegant sweeping staircase leading to the upper-level accommodation. A separate study caters comfortably to those working from home.
Two exceptionally generous guest suites are conveniently positioned on the ground floor, each with their own en-suite bathrooms which are ideal for extended family or visitors seeking privacy.
For the entertainer, the home offers an impressive array of spaces. A versatile entertainment room or library features extensive built-in shelving and a fitted bar, creating an inviting setting for relaxed evenings and gatherings. A dedicated wine cellar adds another layer of appeal for the enthusiast plus on a lower level a fully fitted cinema room.
The entertainment area extends outdoors to a covered space overlooking the pool, complete with a built-in braai and jacuzzi (not tested).
The kitchen is practical and generously sized, complemented by a separate wlak-in cold store and excellent supporting space.
Upstairs, the sweeping staircase leads to the remaining bedrooms and private accommodation, offering considerable flexibility for a large family, visiting guests or those requiring substantial space under one roof. 4 Generous ensuite bedrooms most with their own balcony or outdoor space.
Perhaps one of the property's most remarkable features is the 12-car garage, offering an exceptional opportunity for the serious car collector or enthusiast.
