It is always great when two creative minds come together and make magic which started with the kitchen. Textures, patterns, and functionality make this space what it is. Everything was meticulously planned and executed, from the large SMEG gas cooker in front of a big stack slider window to the terracotta ‘klompie” brick in herringbone lay on the floor that flows out to the covered entertainment area and pool. Separate scullery on the side.
Next up was the master bedroom. Big and beautiful! They added some space and an en-suite bathroom. Check out the pics and fall in love.
There are two more bedrooms and two more bathrooms, one en-suite. Generosity is key.
The lounge and dining room are open and there is a very capable wood-burner fireplace to take care of business in the cold highveld winters.
Original pressed steel ceilings, strip-wood floors, lead glass windows, and a stoep to boot.

Off-street parking for three vehicles behind a motorised steel slider.
