Description

Oh Boy, this home is something special! …Located on the crest of the slight hill that makes up the highly-prestigious, much sought-after and more-than aspiration Harrier Street – one of the finest roads in the Vlei, with just 21 houses.

This beauty quite rightly is the jewel in the crown of the Street and offers an absolutely enormous 280 sq m of accommodation under roof, on a corner plot of an equally impressive 839 sq m.

Starting with the Reception areas; there are three of them – all finished with top-of-the-range Italian tiles. Firstly, there’s a big airconditioned lounge with sliding doors leading out onto the patio area; and then a separate dining area with room for a 10 seater dining table and between these two, is a beautiful two-sided open gas fire, which brings luxurious warmth to the entire living area of the house on those chilly Cape evenings. The dining area leads to an ingeniously designed entertainment area and braai room. The pool has been constructed such that there’s indoor access to its sparkling waters through two sliding doors – and then there are another set of sliding doors in the built-in braai section, again leading out onto the patio area.

The kitchen is nothing sort of cavernous and offers a Cordon Bleu experience with Caesarstone tops throughout, along with a huge central island incorporating a breakfast bar with stools; and more top and bottom cupboards than even Jamie Oliver would know what to do with! All this is complemented by an up-market freestanding gas/electric hob and electric oven combo. This is all finished off by a discretely hidden-away scullery, with plumbing for all appliances; and where the same Caesarstone tops are carried all the way through.

The scullery has two doors; one leading to the tucked-away back garden drying area, where there there’s also a handy shed for all those garden implements and pool equipment.

The other door leads off to an almost secret open balcony, offering absolutely delightful views and is the perfect place for a cup of morning coffee, while one contemplates the day to come, in complete serenity – a place of beauty! …

Moving on to the bedrooms, The Master bedroom is unreservedly enormous, one of the biggest I’ve seen in any home in the Vlei!; boasting two different walk-in cupboard areas; the one on the way into the bedroom and the other adjacent to the lovely and inviting full en-suite bathroom. The Master bedroom is airconditioned and also offers sliding doors leading out onto the patio area.

Bedroom number 2 is almost as big as the Master, with well more than enough built-in cupboards and also offers a charmingly finished en-suite bathroom; with shower, basin and loo.

Bedroom number 3 is the spare room with plenty of room for a Queen bed and two pedestals and also offers built-in cupboards. Finally, just by the front door, there’s a fourth room which is currently designated as a tranquil Prayer Room and is cleverly designed, such that one side of the room consists of wooden folding stack doors, such that, if required, the entrance hall area can be tripled in size in the wink of an eye! This room could easily become a fourth small guest bedroom; or a work-from-home office/study. All four bedrooms are finished with attractive yet subtle vinyl flooring. 

Finally, there’s a full bathroom that’s more than well-appointed and offers a sumptuous corner bath with over-shower, basin and loo, and which services bedroom number 3 and any visitor’s requirements.

The garden both front and back has been designed and landscaped to be exceptionally waterwise and features only indigenous trees, shrubs, bushes and plants and boasts as its main feature, the enticing swimming pool right in the centre.

The property benefits from a larger than usual double garage with two electrically operated doors leading to a covered car port out front, with an electrically operated sliding gate offering access out onto the road..

Extras to this already impressively finished property include a full alarm system; Trellidoors and burglar bars throughout; auto irrigation system, JoJo water storage tank; and the proposition is further enhanced with the inclusion of a powerful diesel generator built into the double garage, that can be set to automatically kick in when loadshedding hits.

Properties like this in this price range in such a good location in Flamingo Vlei, are few and far between, and I expect this to go pretty quickly, so if this sort of proposition is of interest to you, then please don’t delay in contacting me to arrange your appointment to view.

PLEASE NOTE : This is a Deceased Estate and precious little maintenance has been done on the property for 4 months or so and thus any interested party should be forewarned that they will be viewing the place in its “raw” state - and not as one would usually expect for a property going on sale, in that it would under any other circumstances have been all spruced up and “prepped” for viewings.
