Designer Home

Situated in a prime location on Glen Crescent, this stylish contemporary home, has been cleverly reimagined by its owner and his renowned architect James Weston to maximize on space and to capture the best of Cape Town’s views with fantastic north facing views towards the city and the bay, Lion’s Head to the west and full-on views towards Table Mountain. Airy and compact, the home is filled with natural light and offers a cozy and totally private lifestyle with an established lawned garden featuring a long lap pool with a childproof cover, automated irrigation, an outdoor shower, and a 2,500 L rainwater tank under the pool deck complete with a filtration system.

Stepping through the wide front door with a guest cloakroom off the entrance hall, the views take your breath away. The slim line kitchen features integrated Siemens appliances and a generous island with seating, flowing effortlessly into to the large living room with a woodburning fireplace and wide custom designed sliding doors opening seamlessly onto a deep slatted pergola for perfect indoor-outdoor entertainment. The dining area facing Table Mountain is up a few stairs on the mezzanine level, with double glazed sliding doors leading onto a deck surrounded by built in planters, with space for a large outdoor dining table. The air-conditioned main suite is up a level from the dining room in the loft, with an en-suite bathroom, lots of built in cupboards, a wide view window towards the bay and two automated dormer windows with views onto Table Mountain. The lower level, accessed from the living room, houses two bedrooms that also open directly to the garden and pool via wide sliding doors, a family bathroom with a bath and shower, an open plan study with a cleverly designed wide bookcase on wheels that conceals a separate storage room, and a laundry that can easily double up as a kitchen if one wants to let this floor out, as it has a separate entrance from the street as well.

Special features include Oggie flooring in the living areas and highly sought-after cork flooring in the bedrooms, which is so comfortable underfoot. Custom made joinery throughout. Underfloor heating in the downstairs bedrooms, a 200L Solar geyser, and an 8-kilowatt Inverter with 10 KW batteries in the garage to run the whole house during loadshedding. There is also a staff bathroom downstairs.

The large double garage, with two automated garage doors and one high enough for a 4 x 4 vehicle, has an enclosed storage space for bicycles and a special storage space for your winter wood supply. The irrigation system can be operated from the garage or Smartly controlled from your phone.

This stylish and functional designer home is one of a kind and ideal for a couple with grown up children or even for dual living. A Gem seldom found!
