4 Bed House in The Hill Estate

SOLE MANDATE

Approaching this magnificent property through elegant wrought iron gates, across a paved forecourt, under a pillared portico and through a wide door of solid wood, gives us a lovely introduction to the timeless quality of this home, reminiscent of the Mediterranean, with ochre walls and clay roof tiles.

A small vestibule (with guest toilet off) introduces you to a spacious open plan living area filled with light, inviting the outside in by way of many windows, glass sliders and stacking doors: looking out on one side to a large, beautiful garden, on the other, a panoramic view of Pletts world class beaches, sparkling Indian Ocean, lagoon and iconic Robberg peninsula and reserve.

The open plan lounge is large and sunny, with integrated TV console and shelves. The generous dining area is set a little apart with a quartz top breakfast bar marking the neat, streamlined kitchen, shaded with Venetian blinds. The integrated five hob gas cooker and electric oven with hood, veg preparation sink, and alcove for fridge / freezer combo make this an easy kitchen to work in. The cupboards are white. A scullery / laundry (with double sink) leads off the kitchen and gives onto a large drying yard.

The tiled and roofed patio fronts the pool, surrounded by lawn and a well tended flower garden fringed with trees and flowering bushes for additional privacy. There is plenty of scope for alfresco cooking: a braai nook integrated with shelves and cupboards, and an outdoor dining space sheltered by three walls. There is one bedroom on the ground floor, ensuite with a fully tiled bathroom and separate toilet and lovely view of the beach.

A tiled staircase, with chromium balustrade, takes us up to a sunny landing with balconies on both sides from which we can enjoy the ocean view. Two of the three upstairs bedrooms (one of which has access to a balcony) have en suite showers with separate toilets. The extra large main bedroom has two vanities and a broad window seat, a full bathroom with twin basins and a separate toilet. The private balcony affords a marvellous view of the large, landscaped garden and ocean.

This immaculate home is painted throughout in shades of white complemented with stone floor tiles. Top class fittings and materials are used with low maintenance aluminium doors and windows. Bedrooms have laminated wood floors and there is under floor heating in the bathrooms. The overall effect is of a house, well built to a timeless design, favourable to an easy lifestyle. The double garage is tiled and includes generous shelving and a laundry.

An important feature of this outstanding home is its situation on a double stand. The second stand having been acquired in order to establish a beautiful parklike garden, with a training pool in the centre, surrounded by curved lawns and beds abundant with flowering plants, bushes and trees. This spectacular garden was clearly designed by a talented landscape artist.

The Hill is an exclusive, private estate, fully secure and only a couple of minutes from Pletts two shopping malls, the primary school and Poortjies lagoon - a favourite safe swimming spot for children. Main Street, with its owner run retail stores, vibey coffee shops and restaurants is only another two minutes up the hill.
