Ambassadorial Splendour

EXCLUSIVE SOLE MANDATE
Revel in the splendour of this ambassadorial family residence sitting majestically on 2 acres in Constantia's sought-after Spilhaus Avenue. Wonderfully light and airy, with panoramic mountain views, this stately home ushers you in via a grand entranceway with double volume ceiling, impressive Palladian-style pillars and a sweeping staircase.

The interiors speak of the beauty of a bygone era brought seamlessly up to date. Here marble, mirrors, pillars and intimately crafted details prevail.

The ground level flows seamlessly through to several generously proportioned reception rooms, many featuring gas hearths, that exude character at every turn. These spaces include a formal lounge, a music room and sophisticated bar area. A large, marble-tiled family room calls for large, casual family gatherings to do it justice, whilst a baronial dining room features French doors leading to an expansive terrace area.

The chef's kitchen, arguably the heart of the home, is complete with marble-tiled floors and walls as well as maple built-in cupboards topped by granite worktops. A host of integrated appliances are all of the finest quality. A central island offers a convivial prep space, whilst an eat-in kitchen corner (featuring wall-mounted TV and surround sound) completes the warm, family-focused feel.

On the 1st floor, a large master bedroom offers unsurpassed views and an enclosed wood-burning fireplace. It is serviced by sumptuous 'his and hers' bathrooms and dressing rooms. A further 3 bedrooms on this level are all en-suite and open onto the balconies overlooking the pool and garden. One features a walk-in dressing room, and the other a study area. The 4th bedroom (offering independent access) is newly renovated and self-contained, with a kitchen and sitting area. Upstairs also offers a walk-in linen cupboard or utility room with a prep basin. An elegantly paneled private study has extensive fitted cupboards and shelving and enough space for two large desks.

The 5th en-suite bedroom is in a separate guest cottage within the grounds. A haven for guests, this has recently been elegantly refurbished and offers an open-plan kitchen, lounge and dining room. A wooden deck overlooks the garden and provides access to a braai area for outdoor entertaining.

From the main residence, a wrap-around upstairs balcony presents another sweeping staircase offering access to the sparkling swimming pool below. Adjacent to the pool, on the lower level, a fabulous pool room offers a built-in bar, integrated fridge, prep bowl and hob and a sauna. Located on either side of the room are storage areas.

From almost every aspect of the home, one enjoys expansive views over the lush, park-like garden (with Koi pond, indigenous plants and olive trees) and the magnificent Constantia Valley beyond.

Luxurious finishes and colossal spaces are yours for the taking in this exclusive home with its unique positioning and unbeatable level of elevation.
