Amenities and special features of this house
This Vaughn Russell-designed house in Vredehoek ticks a plethora of boxes. Its stylish contemporary look would not be out of place in any glossy interiors magazine, and yet it is a fabulous, easy-living family home, with great indoor and outdoor space, full light and shade and with practical touches throughout.
This three-storey house is in a tranquil residential street which belies its central location and proximity to City Bowl life. Behind the attractive grey concrete and wood frontage is a sun-dappled courtyard with a pool.
The ground floor is fully-open plan, a large triple-storey dining area with woodburning stove and a large fitted kitchen with breakfast bar. Glass doors lead from here out to the lawned garden and play area.
A feature spiral staircase winds from the centre of this room up to the first and then second floors. On the ground floor are also a large work space and a self-contained flatlet, which is currently used to generate rental income but which could equally serve as guest quarters.
On the first floor are a TV lounge, and two large guest bedrooms with a generous guest bathroom, and on the top floor is the magnificent main bedroom suite with its private balcony and view of Lion’s Head, an impressive bathroom and a dressing area; and finally a large office space. Attention to detail throughout is notable, but special mention must be made of the extensive custom-built cabinetry by Cabinetworks, the substantial windows offering glorious views and the restrained yet opulent fixtures and finishes.
There is considerable attention to detail, with cleverly-positioned shelving and lighting in the bedrooms, and some great partitioning which somehow manages to create pockets of space without compromising the flow. The calming, neutral colours and mix of concrete, stone, tiling and wood create a natural, restful ambiance.
The property has off-street parking behind an electric gate for two to three vehicles. Its location is no less impressive, with the Gardens Centre, Virgin Active Wembley Square and Derry Street Spar in really close proximity, as well as popular St. Cyprian’s Girls’ School and the main routes out of town. A genuinely special home in a sought-after area.
