Basking on 1447 m² of elevated land that overlooks the beautiful wetlands and waterways of the False Bay coastline, this magnificent original manor house radiates charm, comfort, and grace. The property sits majestically on the landscape within this sought-after secure estate, with a mountain backdrop – a world of tranquillity, with easy access to major highways. Built in 1941 in the Cape vernacular style, this family home is a showpiece of heritage architecture. Meticulous maintenance and thoughtful upgrades over the years will be appreciated by those with a taste for the finer things and comfortable, generous entertainment spaces – a perfect blend of historical grandeur with modern comfort. An impressive welcome awaits through a charming portico that provides a comfortable pause to the large entrance hall. Charm and character greet you at every turn, and original features such as the pristine wooden flooring, multiple fireplaces, and a welcoming farmhouse kitchen with Rosiere’s cooker, add to the magic. Light floods into the north-facing rooms and the addition of aluminium American shutters to all the windows complements the original sash and cottage-pane frames, which are in excellent condition. The home’s generous 440 m² footprint features three living areas, a study, four bathrooms, and five bedrooms, as well as staff quarters. This home will have enormous appeal for the family that enjoys entertaining, needs space, and values their downtime. Families have ample room for all their activities, and guests are accommodated in comfort in a separate guest cottage. Established terraced gardens and spectacular views of Table Mountain to the north are the backdrop for the sparkling new pool adjoining the sunny north-facing patio and BBQ area. This upmarket estate offers the best of town and coastal living, minutes away from the charming cafes, boutique shops, restaurants, and beaches of Kalk Bay, St James, and Muizenberg on the warm Indian Ocean.
