"If ever there was a home totally suited to a top professional, a captain of industry or an ambassador, this is it," said Ford King, a Greeff Properties agent. The views take in some 20km of Table Mountain's Back Table north and south from Kirstenbosch – but the mountain is not so close as to cast an afternoon shadow on the home.
Built some 40 years ago, the home has been extensively renovated and modernised internally while its external façade retains the classical lines of the era in which it was designed.
All four bedrooms open onto their own balconies but the spacious en suite main bedroom is especially private.
The balconies cover and help create a ground floor patio which, in turn, leads off the family / games room. A TV room houses an all-weather internal braai and has frameless foldaway impact-resistant glass walls reaching from floor to ceiling.
The home also has a private study, with extensive bookshelves and an exceptionally large kitchen with adjoining breakfast room.
On the ground floor the home has a wine cellar capable of taking 400 bottles. The staff quarters include a kitchen and en suite bathroom and they can accommodate two couples. The four car garage opens onto a six to eight car parking area. A separate guest cottage looks onto the large pool deck and terraced lawns, from where the 180° mountain views are spectacular.
The chandeliers, for example, are Venetian crystal glass, the kitchen is fitted with solid wood cupboards and the roof is covered in slate.
