Parktown / Westcliff Ridge

LUXURY LIVING IN AN EXCLUSIVE OASIS

Also available Furnished (POA)
This luxurious four-bedroom home is situated within the newly-gated Westcliff Security Enclave. Today we demand much from our home, wanting it to multi-task as a secure santuary for our family; space for everyone to explore and play in, or to retreat into; and for everyone to be able to work in.

Set on a lush, terraced, 3,833sqm, this beautifully appointed home blends seamlessly into a landscape filled with bird-song. A walk to the top of Westcliff Ridge offers extended views, and glorious sunrises and sunsets.

Here Japanese Maple features both indoors and out. Every room opens onto, or enjoys views across the gardens, and the feeling of peace and tranquility is uniquely ever-present.

Light floods the striking Zen-inspired entrance, where a split-level lobby spills into three adjoining reception rooms. A balcony off the dining-room offers intimacy on balmy summer evenings, whilst in the lounge, the marble fire-place surround and fitted bar are complemented by an expansive floor-to-ceiling picture window that snapshots the ever-changing outdoor vista.

Both the family-room and study/library flow onto a large al-fresco patio, positioned under a Japanese Maple tree, where bird-song, chimes, and the sound of a cascading waterfall titliate the senses.

The dine-in kitchen opens onto a sun-drenched private garden, and is a wonderful place for easy family gatherings. The open design is a play on sleek cabinetry and rich timber. Highlights include German appliances, a filtered Hydoboil, gas hob, an appliance garage, Murano glass chandelier, and Martini bar. The gas fireplace ensures a snug winter refuge.

The study, with library shelves lined with books, offers a peaceful retreat. In contrast, the generous home office is conveniently situated off the home's entrance, where arched timber widows frame a rich urban oasis.

A striking art-nouveau staircase leads to the four sumptuous bedrooms, two with balconies, that are paired with four designer bathrooms. The main en-suite with its white lacquered detailing is a glamorous retreat. In this upstairs sanctuary, solid Canadian oak floors warm with a golden glow, and the entire northern side of the home offers wall-to-wall views of nesting birds and seasonally changing trees.

The entertainment deck, complete with an azure pool and martini seat, offers a space of total relaxation, reminiscent of unhurried time at a health-spa. At other times, the generous pool pavilion is another ideal entertainment venue for family and friends, with a large dining area, serving kitchenette, guest WC, outdoor shower, and built-in bar-b-cue.

Tucked among the roses is a studio, whilst a stroll through the indigenous garden will calm the soul and reward nature lovers and young explorers alike with a unique urban bushveld experiences.

This home also offers a separate laundry, double staff accommodation, storerooms, double-plus garage, and ample parking. The property is networked for wi-fi, and security is excellent, falling as it does within the Westcliff Security Gated Precinct. An added consideration is the potential for sub-division.

This property offers easy access to Milpark and Donny Gordon Private Hospitals; Private schools including the Deutsche Internationale Schule, St Katherine's, The Ridge, St John’s, Rodean; Wits and UJ University campuses; Rosebank’s shopping hub, the Gautrain; and, of course, the many popular bistros and shopping precinct in Parkview.
