SOLE MANDATE
The approach to this elegant home is delightful, entered through central double doors into a courtyard with fern fringed timber deck and partially covered pitched roof, leading to an inviting front door.
On the other side of this door a lovely surprise awaits, for the open plan design affords a dramatic view across the entrance hall, through the living areas, over the pool deck and beyond to the magnificent panorama of the sparkling blue Indian Ocean and Tsitsikamma mountains.
The main living area is a spacious L shape where space and light are enhanced by the generous windows, glass stacking doors and pitched ceilings. Floors are tiled.
On the right, the kitchen gleams with white worktops, softened by slate blue, soft close cupboards and light grey floor tiles. Venetian blinds dress the windows. Ideal for the keen cook, there is a five hob gas stove as well as a double electric oven and gas griller. There is a walk-in pantry. The well equipped scullery and laundry are neatly tucked away behind the kitchen. The island counter lit by hanging pendant lamps includes a breakfast bar to complete this functional space. There is also a breakfast table for dining in the kitchen.
The formal dining area with an attractive exposed brick wall is central to the living spaces and well positioned between the kitchen and lounge. Just off the dining area is a neat bar which in turn leads through to the roomy lounge designed for comfortable relaxation with a slow combustion burner and entertainment unit.
Indoors flows seamlessly to a spacious outdoor entertainment area. A large, covered verandah, sheltered in the lee of the house, has a built in braai and can be enclosed by glass stacking doors. All of the living spaces open up to the pool, set in a wide timber deck. This is the ideal place to sunbathe, swim, and revel in the magnificent view over Plettenberg Bay, watching the dolphins and whales playing in the sparkling waves.
The main bedroom is spacious with rows of cupboards, dressing space and full en suite bathroom with elegant high quality fittings. Comfort is assured with underfloor heating, air conditioner and fan. There is also a study / 5th bedroom with a guest bathroom across the passage.
Downstairs, there are three additional bedrooms, all en suite, with access to the garden by way of American shutters and sliding doors. All bedrooms enjoy a North facing uninterrupted view of the bay and mountains.
The double garage is on the road side of the house, as is the fully equipped staff room with living space and bathroom. The house is fitted with solar panels and inverter.
