FOREVER HOME ON FIVE STANDS WITH BREATHTAKING VIEWS

This spectacular home, on a panoramic viewsite of five stands in sought after Highland Road, could be your forever home.

Every room in the main house opens onto the garden through wooden French doors, flooding the home year-round with sunshine. And every room has beautifully restored, original Oregon pine floors, door frames and doors with brass fittings, some with stained glass, most with pressed steel ceilings. All the window frames are wood, some with original sash windows.

The living areas are open plan, with the family room opening on one side to a covered verandah that overlooks the pool, and on the other to a sheltered courtyard with built in braai. The dining room seats 10, linked to the custom-fitted kitchen by a centre island. The formal lounge has an original teak fireplace with a working fire for cozy winter evenings.

There are three double bedrooms, two with pristine modern en-suite bathrooms. The master bedroom is carpeted with its own pyjama lounge, which opens onto a covered verandah with north facing views over the garden during the day, and twinkling lights as far as the horizon at night.

The self-contained cottage has two bedrooms with laminate floors, a full bathroom with shower, a large tiled living room, and a small galley kitchen. It has an interleading door to the main house, which can be closed off as a completely separate unit, making it ideal for teenagers, extended family or tenants.

The garden studio, or WFH office, has an entrance , one room and full bathroom, with slate floors and French doors. A timber cabin is fitted out as a gym and adjoins a jacuzzi on a path to the pool.

The garden is made for bird lovers, with resident loeries, nesting crested barbets and visiting hoopoes. Unusually for a Kensington viewsite garden, there is a large lawn, perfect for ball games and celebrations. There are more than two dozen majestic trees, with jacarandas on either side of the wooden entrance gate. The extensive paved driveway has six parking spaces for visitor, and four garages with solid timber doors.
If you love traditional homes with character , as well as modern conveniences, this big, bright, beautiful property could be your forever home.
