5 Bed House in Valmary Park

A forest in the suburbs aptly describes the lifestyle exuberated by this architect designed property. Located in the heart of Valmary Park this mid-century pavilion-style home with its sleek lines offers a contrast to the busy city life outside. This home, featured in the DIGEST OF SOUTH AFRICAN ARCHITECTURE, boasts steel, aluminium, gabion structures and solid wooden beams with large sliding doors and shutters seamlessly integrating with the forest-like garden.

The waterwise garden filled with lush established trees and leafy shrubs has been meticulously landscaped offering clean lines and defined spaces whilst not once losing the forest style.

Set amidst the forest-like garden you will find a three bedroomed pavilion overlooking a large two bedroomed pavilion offering accommodation fulfilling most property buyers'' needs.

The home has bamboo and terrazzo flooring throughout and with a clever use of lighting, textures, garden views, meranti-wood cladding and the sound of water features celebrates the basic elements of earth, water, and light.

The established garden is a private oasis with only the gate being visible from the road. It offers many different spaces- some secluded nooks with fire pits and other large entertainment areas with water features and Rhodesian teak wooden decks.

Accommodation in the main pavilion includes but is not limited to, a large main suite with custom made cupboards and a full ensuite bathroom, two sizeable guest rooms serviced by two bathrooms, and a private study.

The living areas are open plan with the formal lounge offering a fireplace and 180 views of the garden, an open plan dining area and a family-sized kitchen with a large Caesarstone- top island, built-in Miele appliances and a separate scullery.

All the bedrooms boast large aluminium sliding doors and windows, and stackable shutters offering views of the garden. The external water feature is repeated inside encouraging the home''s inhabitants to be transported to a modern forest like dream.

The adjacent two bedroomed pavilion was respectfully designed around the established trees on this property and is in itself a design masterpiece. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living area and fully equipped kitchen with Miele appliances make this a versatile space for homeowners. Aluminium sliding doors, plantation shutters and wooden decks skilfully connect this extension with the main house.

The property also offers a large swimming pool, private driveway, automated double garage and a back-up invertor system.
