STYLISH SOPHISTICATION FOR THE FAMILY WHO LOVES TO ENTERTAIN!

This gorgeous home offers beautiful double-volume reception areas with white-painted exposed beams and a double-sided wood-burning fireplace, making it perfect for family and friend festivities.

The brand-new ‘State of the Art’ kitchen forms the heart of the home. The discerning chef will find this perfect for entertaining friends and family around the enormous 3.2m x 1.2m central island. Guests find it very hard to leave this area once seated around the chef’s table.

The kitchen sports more cupboard space than that of the average house with 2.2m tall cupboards, all replete with soft-close mechanisms and heavy-duty Danish runners and handles. The white Calcutta-engineered quartz tops are impenetrable to almost anything and easy to clean. On board the central island is a five-burner gas hob and a 90cm baking oven and behind it a 60cm highly efficient integrated steam oven with microwave. A built-in RUSD water filtration system is connected to the wash bowl, with matt black Hans Gröhe telescopic mixers. All appliances are brand new top-of-the-line Siemens products.

The house features a complete off-grid energy system, with 18 solar panels, a 10kVA inverter and nearly 20kWh of lithium battery storage, along with lightning protection. Whereas an Eskom power grid connection exists, it is very rarely necessary to resort to.

Two of the six rooms in the house have been converted into professional-grade offices, ideal for work-from-home or hybrid work arrangements. There is a super-fast fibre connection on premises with download speeds of 250mbps and 100mbps upload, perfect for multiple simultaneous video calls, and a mesh grid Wi-Fi amplification system that can connect up to 260 devices and adequately covers the entire property with 2.4Gb and 5Gb Wi-Fi bands.

The gated Parkmore Estate provides baseline security, which is further reinforced by a state-of-the-art alarm system on the property, with 45 Wi-Fi-enabled tamper-proof sensors, with redundant power and intelligent pattern recognition ability that correctly discerns between pets and birds vs. human intruders. The system integrates with the electric fences and a redundant link to the 24/7 Security armed response service.

Looking further into the living space, there are two informal lounges in an open-plan arrangement and the dining room (or playroom) opens out to the garden. The guest cloakroom is located off the entrance.

A winter sun-drenched patio with a pergola links the main house to the entertainer’s dream 60-sqm entertainment room, covered in Pergo oak-laminate flooring, which overlooks the feature pool, deck, firepit and lush garden.

There are 4 north-facing bedrooms all with built-in cupboards and the main bedroom has a built-in dressing table and there is a door leading out to the manicured garden. There are two full beautifully renovated bathrooms, with the large main en-suite bathroom having a skylight feature, giving the shower an outdoor feel.

Beautiful screed flooring adorns the living area and offices. The manicured garden is decorated with water features and night lighting and is supported by an automated irrigation system.

Double automated garaging with extra mezzanine space allows for ample storage and the property allows off-street parking for three to four vehicles. There is good staff accommodation and an outside covered laundry area with space for appliances.

Situated in one of the best streets in the leafy suburb of ‘Parkmore Estate’ enclosure, this home is ideal for the buyer wanting to enjoy suburban living with easy access to the Sandton CBD, top schools, shops and all amenities. Enjoy walks up to the newly renovated Benmore Shopping Centre or down to the Sandton Sports Club where there is the trendy ‘Milk Bar’ and sports facilities.

The Field and Study Centre is also a ‘stone’s throw away’ where you can walk your dogs and enjoy horse riding. There is also a popular Craft Market once a month.

Avoid the stress of traffic congestion and enjoy a lovely family neighbourhood in the heart of Sandton!
