4 Bed House in Atholl

Match! is proud to present this liveable, modern home, located in a sought-after enclave in Atholl,

Sandton, minutes from the central business district and the numerous amenities this suburb is noted for. From the road, the layout and thoughtful space-maximization of the 1,500m stand is immediately apparent as the imposing structure rises up above the eyeline, its distinctive architecture sending a clear message that the occupant aspires to the best available in stylish living.

The architecture provides a rare combination of freehold property, with the freedom of independence, privacy and cost-effectiveness which that brings, together with the sense of protection buyers typically seek in a walled off, access-controlled estate. This 810m home is designed for the best of both in current day South Africa.

From the street, there is a custom manufactured entrance faade that combines a 5m long entrance gate and matching security-mesh fencing. Adjacent to the faade, surrounding the house and the neighbours, is a 4m high, double brick boundary wall topped with an electric fence.

Up the short driveway you are soon in a spacious, brick-paved waiting area for motor cars or

pedestrians, tall palm trees and potted plants adding a touch of arboreal splendour. A further

atheistically pleasing yet practical security feature awaits to the left, see-through double-swing,

magnetic-lock internal gates encased by concrete buttressing that is impregnable. A guard room is built high-up to the right, giving full street visibility, and usable for those that require a permanent guard. Only the owner can activate to permit final entrance to the privacy of this eye-catching home, the true extent of which is only revealed once you have gained admittance.

Having gained entrance youll notice that there is ample off-street parking, yet it does not impinge on the distinct aesthetics of the home. In addition, there is a double garage, which also has access to the main house, and a car port to the far left. A backup generator is housed in a neat steel weather-proof cage.

Up shallow angled tiled steps, reminiscent of boutique hotels in places like Mauritius, gives a sense of occasion on entering. Classical themed statues, handcrafted pieces of art, extra tall palm trees, cycads, and other lush vegetation align your stroll to the elegant formal entrance with large glass double doors. Natural light floods in all around you.

The interior is too extensive in its appointments to give full justice to but suffice to say you will be in awe at the useability, design aesthetic and extensiveness of the living areas, each given their own special architectural touch, combining elements of open plan with the functionality of specific space usage. The interior is classically Italian themed, a tasteful counterpoint to the modernist architecture.

To the right of the grand entrance portal is a large work-from-home office accessed through foldable louvered shutters that provide privacy. To the left, a guest lavatory. Then, a central Caesarstone island with basin and tap that fronts a well-equipped kitchen, also with Caesarstone food preparation tops, adjoined by out-of-the-way scullery/laundry places. Adjacent but separate is a domestic worker apartment with two bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom.

The airy living areas are sectioned off into a breakfast nook with an enormous skylight, a formal dining area and further on a formal lounge.

There are three doors giving access to the spectacular leisure area, free from prying eyes. A pool with fountain, outdoor-indoor living space, a built-in barbeque with serving counter, a low-maintenance lawn, and nine tall palm trees tastefully complemented by an abundance of plants. You could be on a foreign beach holiday in the midst of Atholl.

Owners will relish the flow with which the interior integrates to the well-built adjoining exterior,

affording you the opportunity to maximise your living options according to the time of year.

Three broad steps near the formal lounge takes you to the ground floor accommodation wing. A full bathroom to the right, with skylights, a bedroom next to that which is currently used as a study, a large second bedroom behind that with squared off ceiling-height windows letting in sunlight, and then a large bedroom with bathroom which is used now as a guest suite complete with sliding door leading out to a small lawn at the rear of the property.

Up a two-tier staircase, that also has shallow angled tiled steps with depth for ease of mobility, is the top floor that is a dedicated master suite of extensive proportions and glazing, bigger than many apartments. The suite has its own lounge in which television can be viewed. There is ample storage, a vanity nook and changing area. The bathroom is enormous, with twin wash basins, twin shower and a bathtub and a separate lavatory/bidet with its own privacy door. Again, skylights in this ample suite maximise sunlight. Panoramic windows overlook the entertainment area and swimming pool below, framed by the stately palm trees.
