This sophisticated extraordinary home in the heart of Houghton Estate, is tucked away down a discreet panhandle.

The separate tv/family room room opens out through retractable doors onto a wonderfully large covered patio with a built in braai. The patio has casual seating as well as a dining area.

This sophisticated extraordinary home in the heart of Houghton Estate, is tucked away down a discreet panhandle.
An oasis of trees and shrubbery welcomes you to a home that has been set cleverly on the land, maximising the north garden. With an elegant drive through entrance, you are lead directly into the gracious double volume entrance hall. This home grabs you immediately as you walk into it to a wonderful open plan living and dining downstairs with a central courtyard and water feature with koi pond. The home opens to the garden through french doors and glass retractable doors. The connection between the garden and home is seamless and flowing. The separate tv/family room room opens out through retractable doors onto a wonderfully large covered patio with a built in braai. The patio has casual seating as well as a dining area.
The kitchen, whilst open plan, can be shut off from the living area by closing sliding doors. This is ideal for more formal entertaining. The sitting room and study are located on the quieter side of the home, allowing for formal entertainment.
There is a magnificent guest suite downstairs with a private courtyard.
Going up the floating stairs to the bedrooms, you immediately enter a pyjama lounge. There are two children's bedrooms both with a bathroom, the main ensuite is privately located within the upstairs. This is one of the finest main bedroom suites I have come across, with French doors opening north onto a Juliette balcony, the walk-through closet is breathtaking. There are enough cupboards for a celebrity! The bathroom is located on the other side of the closet, with a beautiful bath, a shower which has an outside element to it, double basins and a separate loo. This bathroom will need to be seen to be appreciated.
There is a lot about this home that I have not mentioned. The three garages, staff suite/cottage with its own courtyard and kitchenette, solar inverter system, beautiful lighting throughout the home, inside fire places, a swimming pool, fire pit and more.
