R8,490,000 | 5 Bedroom House For Sale in Houghton Estate

If your absolute priority is security, and your second priority is an impressive cluster home, you must see this property on Eighth Street.

Situated within a four-cluster complex, this property offers a permanent guard on the main gate to the street, but in addition, is behind a second gate, at the end of the driveway, and provides two double garages and guest parking for about four cars.

The home opens with an awesome, rather brilliant double-volume space leading to a comfortable number and style of living spaces. A ground-floor en-suite bedroom is on the east side for morning sunshine, but this works very well as a study.

Moving straight through the house to the twelve-seater internal patio, to the pretty garden, the pool, and the well-equipped open-concept design of the pavilion, one can see how the home functions as an easy place to entertain family, friends, and clients often and well.

The lounge is sunny and bright, with some separation of space through its position in the home, adjustments in the floor level as well as controlled size and great proportion. To make it work all year round, it’s both a summer and a winter room, with great northern windows to catch the low sun, and a substantial fireplace for cool winter nights, warm conversations and hot drinks.

The kitchen & informal dining space is beautifully open and a part of the living spaces, contemporary and comfortable to work in, with a back kitchen or butler’s pantry to keep the processes slick and neat. The family room is adjacent, large enough to accommodate homeworking, and comfy couches so the family can all collect and share news of the day just done and plan for the next…

Upstairs are three or four bedrooms, depending on your needs, with one of them being ideal for either a nursery or a study because of its proximity to the main bedroom. The walkways circumnavigate the naturally lit grand entrance below, encouraging s sense of great space, reassuring safety, and always excellent light.
