4 Bed House in Waterfall Country Estate

Strategically positioned on the stand to provide maximum garden space, this L-shaped home feels noticeably larger than most. The grand double volume entrance makes a fitting first impression, with the grey plaster and red brick exterior complementing the pale grey and white palette inside. Through the wooden front door into an entrance hall, sliding windows on both sides reveal secret mini gardens, a taste of what''s to come.

A dining room, with sliding doors on two sides to the garden, provides a bright and open dining experience, separated from the lounge by a partition wall. The spacious lounge features a flueless gas fireplace and opens to the garden and pool. The kitchen alongside the lounge, is an expansive space, including a coffee station and central island with wooden serving bench. Stone countertops and sleek grey cupboards create a seamless look, with windows to either side of the SMEG cooker providing natural light. A separate scullery opens to the yard.

Up a few stairs, you''ll find a formal lounge, opening to a courtyard with a soothing koi pond, a perfect space for meditation. Another flueless gas fireplace creates a boundary between this room and a second dining space, complete with wine storage and bar counter. Both rooms open to the immense covered patio and garden, with a smooth flow. A fire boma is found alongside the dedicated braai area, which features a SYAN gas fireplace. The patio, complete with sliding louvre sun screens, is an entertainer''s dream, leading to the lush, two level well-established garden, and large luminescent pool.

A huge storage cupboard, with sliding doors, at the foot of the staircase, is an absolute win, and a contemporary guest cloakroom is located to one side. Cement steps with a frameless glass balustrade lead to the first floor, where wooden partitioning cleverly separates rooms, without loss of light or space. A study on the right is perfect as a work-from-home but could also be used as a fifth bedroom. A pyjama lounge to the left is cosy, leading to the master suite, a sumptuous space, with a wraparound balcony that provides views of the estate over the treetops. The walk-in dressing room leads to the bathroom, with freestanding bath, shower and double sink unit.

Two generously sized bedrooms overlooking the garden and pool, share a full double bathroom, while a third en suite bedroom is tucked around the corner. These three bedrooms include built-in desks and shelving, with all the bedrooms enjoying a centralized air-conditioning and overhead fans for idyllic temperature control.

Luxurious, with a slight industrial feel to the exterior, this spacious home has useful extras: 7500L water tank fed by a borehole for irrigation, backup generator system (5kVA), a full security system with cameras, a walk-in linen cupboard and plantation blinds. Considerate design has produced a home that exudes tranquillity and offers an escape from busy lifestyles.
