Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow! Classic residence on a huge stand with excellent cottage, 4 garages and magic private park in an exclusive boomed street!

Oozing with classic glamour and vintage charm this original farmhouse located in a small suburb of Pierneef Park (Victory Park/Linden border) is a tranquil haven with a spectacular garden. Hidden behind high walls crowned by climbing white roses, this property offers a super safe location in an access-controlled cul de sac and picture-perfect country estate ambience in the middle of the bustling city. The spacious main house offers many rooms, extras, nooks and crannies adaptable to comfortable living, work from home and changing family situations.

The main entrance to the house is from a spacious garden patio framed by fragrant orange jessamine and purple splendour of flowering Petrea creeper. The impressive entrance reception (or dining room) connects the bedroom and kitchen areas. This family home has a large farm-style kitchen+pantry and breakfast corner with nostalgic vibes of family life: cooking bobotie, grandma’s biscuits and eating together with friends and loved ones. Next to the kitchen is a TV room or children’s playroom, very warm and sunny in winter. The bedroom passage of the house leads to a storeroom for kitchen and household items, a formal lounge with a classic fireplace, 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (2 en-suite). The master suite has double doors into the inner courtyard by the cottage, and to a private patio by a romantic rose trellis, ideal to enjoy the morning sun or a quiet evening moment. It is an indulgent private space offering great comfort and classic glamour of fancy details and crystal chandeliers, consisting of a grand bedroom with study or nursery room, an elegant lounge with a beautiful fireplace, his&hers dressing rooms and a luxurious bathroom with free-standing bathtub, double vanity and extra spacious walk-in shower.

The beautiful spacious cottage on the property offers a delightful country-style eat-in kitchen with a pantry, living room, 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and a private garden with a large braai boma and patio under a majestic avocado tree loaded with large fruit! This second house on the property is ideal as extended family accommodation, income-generating rental option or work-from-home offices.

The buildings are surrounded by a fairy tale garden, a lifetime labour of love, with every tree, shrub or flower and many a special detail carefully chosen to create a special connection with nature and the change of seasons! Ornamental groundcovers, flowering bushes and shrubs, fruit trees (fig, avocado, lemon, orange), and majestic specimen trees (ferns, Japanese maples, jacaranda, stinkwood, yellowwood, cypress) attract birdlife and provide gentle shade, fresh air and verdant tranquillity sparkled up by floral colours from fiery clivias, roses, wisteria vines, delicate bells of moon flowers, frilly white irises, seductive Chinese fringe flower bush, fragrant lavenders and exotic orchid varieties. The indoors-outdoors interaction makes every room a special retreat and every day a holiday! Just step outside or look through the window! The property also includes fibre internet connection, staff quarters, a 4-car lock-up garage, a borehole and a walled courtyard with washlines, a greenhouse with an orchid collection, a compost site, and even a duck pond!

For lovers of nature, arts, antiques and all things nice, people looking for security, peace and quiet, this unique property can be a safe haven, a home, a workplace, and a peaceful retreat, yet very close to Delta Park, King David School, Victory Park Shopping Centre, De la Salle and Pinnacle College, Louw Gendelhuis Primary, Linden High School, popular churches and Emmarentia Mosque. It is a unique home not to be missed.
