Timeless Architectural Masterpiece opposite St. Mary's – An Extraordinary Family Residence!

Description

Location, location, location. Perfectly positioned directly opposite St Mary’s Diocesan School for Girls, and privately tucked away down a secure panhandle, this remarkable Douw van Zyl architect-designed residence offers a rare combination of tranquillity, safety, timeless character and exceptional family living within one of the Upper Highway’s most sought-after addresses. A beautiful pond feature welcomes you on arrival, while the dramatic double-volume entrance and striking staircase immediately create a sense of warmth, space and architectural presence. Inside, the home is rich in texture, natural light and carefully curated detail. The generous lounge is anchored by a beautiful wood-burning fireplace, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere during cooler Upper Highway evenings, while thoughtfully selected light fittings enhance the ambience and character throughout the home. Designed for both relaxed family living and memorable entertaining, the home flows seamlessly between its beautifully proportioned living spaces and exceptional entertainment areas. A separate dining room opens effortlessly onto the expansive undercover patio, complete with retractable awnings overlooking the timber decking, sparkling pool and magnificent garden surrounds. The granite-topped kitchen with gas hob, separate scullery, and charming seating nook combines practicality with warmth and connection to the home’s entertainment flow. Upstairs, the home offers four bedrooms, including a main en-suite and family bathroom. Sisal carpeting throughout the upper level adds warmth and texture, while an upstairs pyjama lounge and study landing create additional flexible family spaces filled with natural light and charm. The bespoke children’s rooms, complete with custom bunk bed features, add personality and a sense of fun to this beautifully considered family home. A guest loo downstairs further enhances convenience for entertaining. Privately nestled within magnificent, established gardens, the property evokes a sense of peace and retreat. Mature walnut trees, avocado trees, dead-level lawns and lush layered landscaping create an enchanting outdoor setting ideal for children, family gatherings and outdoor living. The garden also features a trampoline, JoJo tanks, a Wendy house ideal for storage, an owl box nestled amongst the walnut trees, and even its own honey-producing beehive - a rare and beautiful reflection of the home’s connection to nature and relaxed family lifestyle. Adding to the home’s versatility, the existing garage has been thoughtfully converted into a work-from-home space, while also offering excellent potential for extended family living, a studio, or flexible lifestyle accommodation depending on your needs. This residence has long been admired for its unique aesthetic and exceptional ambience, even serving as the backdrop for professional photoshoots for leading brands — a testament to the home’s distinctive style and visual appeal. Lovingly maintained and deeply enjoyed over many years, this is far more than simply a house. It is a soulful, architecturally significant residence where design, family living and natural beauty come together in a truly extraordinary way. A rare opportunity to secure an exceptional family home in a highly sought-after position opposite St Mary’s.
