Herbert Baker Masterpiece – Historic Grandeur with Modern Sophistication
Designed in 1906 by Sir Herbert Baker, this landmark home, the first on its prestigious street, has been beautifully restored and thoughtfully modernised to offer a luxurious lifestyle infused with heritage charm. A grand double-storey stone-clad entrance and imported roof tiles reflect its timeless architectural appeal.
The outdoor living spaces are exceptional, featuring an elegant entertainment room with generous dining and lounge areas overlooking a shimmering lap pool. A cricket net and imaginative children’s play areas add a family-friendly touch. Surrounding the home is an award-winning terraced garden inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement, with layered lawns, vibrant flower beds, century-old jacaranda and oak trees, an original Gertrude Jekyll pergola, stone pathways, and tranquil water features.
Inside, original features such as wood panelling, bay windows, and fireplaces are seamlessly paired with modern finishes. The ground floor includes a guest suite with en-suite bathroom (originally the coach room), a family TV lounge, open-plan chef’s kitchen with eat-in area and scullery, formal dining room, and a study with adjoining sitting room. Upstairs are three elegant en-suite bedrooms, each with garden views. The master suite features an open-plan bathroom, walk-in closet, cosy fireplace, and a private balcony.
The original Herbert Baker stables have been transformed into a refined, self-contained private cottage, ideal for guests or extended family. A stylish staff room provides added versatility. Equipped with a 70,000L water tank and inverter system, and situated in a boomed-off road with 24-hour security, this home offers the perfect balance of privacy, sustainability, and peace of mind.
A truly rare opportunity to own a piece of Johannesburg’s architectural heritage. Private viewings by appointment.
