FABULOUS FAMILY HOME WITH MAGNIFICENT OCEAN VIEW

TRI MANDATE

Large, lovely and light are the words which come to mind when entering this beautiful home. The white framed front door, inset with panes of coloured glass, makes an attractive entrance into the hall where a broad staircase leads down to an expansive, open plan living area. A large lounge with two distinct seating areas has wide stacking doors opening to the garden, inviting the outdoors in. A carefully positioned stone fireplace assures a cosy atmosphere and warmth in winter.

The dining and kitchen are also open plan and adjacent to an indoor sunny braai area. A large island in the kitchen is the focal point for the family to gather and chat, while preparing a meal. There is a five hob gas cooker with hood and electric oven. The worktops and shaker style cupboards lend a timeless ambience. A scullery / laundry leads off.

Ceiling cornices and clusters of pendant lights define each functional space; these features, together with the balanced proportions of the whole living area make this a really enjoyable place to spend time in. Walls and ceilings are painted white, and pair well with the light tones of the screed floor, inlaid with balau. There is a guest toilet and spacious second lounge/games room located off the living area.

Outdoor entertainment is taken care of with a covered verandah which can comfortably seat about ten people. Perfectly positioned to sit with friends and family, sampling al fresco food, or swimming in the pool, all the while enjoying the panoramic view of the Indian Ocean spanning the entire Bay from the Tsitsikamma Mountains to the Robberg Peninsula Reserve.

Back up the stairs to the entrance hall, where a passage leads to three bedrooms plus a carpeted room with a balcony which can be used as a playroom, gym or study.

The large main bedroom, with a full bathroom including a dual purpose shower and twin basins, also has a balcony. Adjacent is a dressing room. The other two bedrooms are ensuite. All have generous fitted closets, fans, and vinyl floors. Along the passage is a linen cupboard and coffee station. Up to the third level where we find a teenager’s hideaway: a large room with space for friends’ sleepovers, a shower room and balcony.

A flatlet with an en suite bedroom and kitchenette has its own external entrance. There is also a staff room with full bathroom and scullery.

Ocean views are enjoyed from most rooms in the house. There are three garages plus parking for three cars. Under the house is a water storage cavity with pump. Solar installations provide an alternative energy supply.

The garden is low maintenance with grassed area and perennials; and the whole property is protected by an electric fence and gates, plus alarm system.

This is the ideal home for a large or growing family: practical, comfortable, spacious and beautiful, with a warm, welcoming ambience. The glorious Robberg Beach and new Robberg Bay Mall are both only a short walk away. Other shops and services, restaurants and schools are only a few minutes’ drive from this desirable home.
