5 Bedroom House in Ballito Central

Gracious Verandah-Style Five bedroom Home Offering Serenity and Space

With a choice of deep shaded expansive verandas that enable outdoor enjoyment and relaxation, a protected pool courtyard area, a kitchen that is a gourmets haven, five bedrooms, and two lounges, a large bar and a magnificent formal dining room this extraordinary residence offers unparalleled outdoor living, easy everyday family living, and exceptional privacy.

This elegant sizable home is steeped in history having functioned as a manor Home as well as a boutique hotel. Today it is a centralized home within the secure environs of Shortens Country Estate.

The landscaped front garden and wrap-around front verandah create a grand entrance to impeccably appointed interiors. Entry is into a beautifully appointed lounge which leads into an equally impressive dining room that can accommodate a 12 seater dining table. Architectural details like solid pine doors with stained glass, solid Rhodesian pine wood flooring, and majestic columns enhance the charm.

The generously sized kitchen boasts an oversized central island stylishly accentuated by a gracious chandelier, a casual dining area, a double oven hearth, abundant customized cabinetry, a large walk-in pantry and a separate laundry room. The kitchen also practically accesses the formal dining room as well as the large spacious TVLiving room which opens out onto an additional north facing outdoor covered patio area adjoining a small garden and pool that offers a year-round entertaining space. A firepit adds to the outdoor experience.

The master suite, with its high ceilings and tranquil garden views through a bay window, features a generous dressing area and a full outdoor-access bathroom. Three additional bedrooms share a well-appointed full bathroom, while a fifth en suite bedroom serves as an independent guest suite with its own entrance.

A double garage and a parking bay add to the offering plus there is ample visitors parking adjacent to the homestead. Direct access to the Shortens club house and library are an added benefit.

This property reflects the Natal Verandah Style architecture of the bygone era whilst offering refined indoor comforts and idyllic outdoor spaces, all in secure surrounds with easy access to Ballitos central CBD and N2 Highway.
