3 bedroom house

This incredible warm, dreamy designer home under thatch has enormous character and will appeal to someone looking for refined elegance designed for various entertainer's options.

Being in an elevated position in the heart of one of the most desirable addresses in Hout Bay, you have breathtaking views right over the bay, the main beach, harbour, Sentinel and Karbonkelberg mountains, even the well-known replica of Lichtenstein Castle and all the way up the sand dunes towards Sandy Bay.

As you enter the beautiful handcrafted wrought iron gate, you have a driveway for off-street parking, a double garage and a covered carport behind the garage, allowing for plenty of safe and secure parking.

The main entrance opens onto a feature hallway looking down to a vast living area and to 2 very spacious bedrooms on either side on the upper level.

The living area offers a sunny north-facing lounge with large fireplace and an adjacent sunroom which are enclosed with seamless wall panels that slide open onto the stunning pooldeck and garden. This sunroom/atrium captures the afternoon sunlight and is especially heavenly on a cold winter's day.

The kitchen is well-planned and offers an 8 plate Lafra (Italian) stove and hob, a scullery and laundry to the right, a walk-in pantry and wine cellar to the left. The kitchen bar counter is made out of a single piece of very special timber as is the dining room table. The stonework detail on the back wall of the kitchen is interesting and the ceiling throughout the house is a very creative design using natural timber pieces and a smooth concrete finish and limewashed.

Next to the kitchen is a spacious dining room with glass stacking doors leading to an exquisite koi pond with waterfall feature surrounded by timber decking filled with gorgeous plants and a secret cove. The sound of running water and birdsong will transport you away in heavenly bliss. A perfect hideaway for peace, reflection and quiet relaxation.

The pool deck is huge and great for entertaining with its fabulous views. The pool is large and refreshing and there is a gazebo with a long table and chairs for al fresco dining.

The 3rd beautiful spacious en-suite bedroom leads off the pool deck area. The other 2 en-suite bedrooms are extremely spacious with their own private balcony. The main bathroom is absolutely gorgeous and there is a shower with a door opening to an outdoor gym area next to the koi pond.

There is another entertainment room upstairs with a proper built-in pizza oven, bar counter and room for sofas and TV, which once again is fitted with seamless glass doors opening onto a timber deck where you can watch the most glorious sunsets with your family and friends.

Downstairs is another entertainment area which includes a man cave, pool table and a wine cellar with an underwater view of the swimming pool.

There is also a study with built-in desking and shelving with a cosy little woodburning fireplace.

There is underfloor heating and airconditioning throughout the home for added comfort.

The house never experiences any loadshedding at all due to a good capacity inverter which has been installed.

This house which is full of creative art and design must be seen to be appreciated as it is an exceptional property and Knight Frank is really proud to list it.
