Each of the four guest suites is en-suite, furnished with king-sized beds and dressed in understated luxury. Two overlook a tranquil garden with a gentle water feature, while another enjoys a private balcony. A refined dining area completes the guest offering—perfect for intimate breakfasts or discreet business gatherings.
The main residence includes four spacious, air-conditioned bedrooms. Two are en-suite with exquisite finishes, while a beautifully appointed family bathroom serves the rest. The luxurious primary suite boasts a walk-in his-and-her wardrobe, a makeup station, a private study with dual workstations, and two secluded balconies.
Designed for entertaining, the home flows effortlessly between formal and informal living spaces. A gourmet kitchen with coffee nook, undercover braai and entertainment area, formal lounge, and two cozy TV lounges make hosting a pleasure.
A private office with separate entrance caters to professionals working from home, while the landscaped garden offers a serene retreat with a 20-meter swimming pool. A double garage and secure off-street parking for nine vehicles add convenience. Additional features include a state-of-the-art security system, 30,000 litres of backup water plumbed directly into the home, and a renovation led by an architect and interior designer—ensuring premium finishes throughout. Guest house furnishings optional.
Whether You're Curating a Lavish Family Sanctuary or Hosting with Regal Flair, this Immaculate Estate Offers a Lifestyle Worthy of a Diamond-Studded Crown in one of East London's Most Coveted, History-rich Enclaves with Easy Access to Everything.
