5 Bed House in Bowtie

JOINT MANDATE

Located in the tranquil suburb of Bowtie, this spacious family home is northeast facing, offering beautiful views of the sea, lagoon, and the Tsitsikamma mountains. With the added bonus of a separate self-contained cottage for friends or rental income, it is ideal either for a permanent family home or for a holiday home for extended family and friends.

Upon entering the property via the sliding electric gate, you are immediately struck by the immaculate garden and home and the extent to which everything has been so carefully and lovingly maintained. The brick driveway leads to both the extra-height carport (ideal for a caravan, campervan, or boat) and to the single garage, which is extra length and provides internal access to the kitchen via the scullery. Behind the carport and to the left of the actual house is a large timber garden shed that is electrified and alarmed and ideal for a workshop and storeroom.

A paved pathway leads from the brick driveway and then up a couple of steps to the large patio and covered verandah located at the front of the house. To the right of the house, there is an expansive, open-air entertaining area with a built-in braai. These spacious relaxing and entertaining areas are most often bathed in sunlight and offer beautiful sea and mountain views, an ideal location for spending lazy summer days and evenings.

Entering the home through the front door, the entrance hall provides access to the lounge area on your right, to the dining area on your left, and in front of you to the kitchen, guest toilet, family/TV room, and the staircase that leads to the upper level. Located on the northern side of the home, the open-plan lounge and dining areas both radiate light and warmth. They both have wood-laminate flooring and the lounge has an expansive wood-burning fireplace. The ground-floor bedroom/office in the main house is accessible from the dining area. These 3 front rooms on the ground floor all offer beautiful sea and mountain views through large glass stacking doors that provide easy access to the covered verandah and patio areas.

The kitchen has been very carefully planned with convenience, lighting, and storage front of mind. It consists of a Smeg electric oven with a 5-burner gas hob and extractor, Caesarstone countertops, a breakfast nook that overlooks the back garden, and a true abundance of soft-close cupboards, pot drawers, normal drawers, and lovely little extras such as spice and tray cupboards and a built-in wine rack. Linking the kitchen with the extra-length garage, the scullery houses the grocery cupboards, utility cupboards, a quick hot geyser under the double sink, as well as ample space for a large double fridge with water feed, an extra fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine. The 5KVA inverter and Lithium Battery are housed in the garage and linked to the 6 solar panels on the roof.

Overlooking the back garden, the family/TV room is open plan to the kitchen and provides access to the upper level via an internal staircase. The two upstairs bedrooms located on the southern side of the home both offer BICs, and they share a bathroom. The expansive master bedroom and its en-suite bathroom are located on the northern side of the home, and both offer truly breathtaking views of the ocean, lagoon, and the Tsitsikamma mountains.

Exiting the home through the back door, you find yourself in a large and very private backyard. In the corner, the separate cottage offers a living room with a kitchenette (plumbed for kitchen appliances), and a separate bedroom with an en-suite shower and toilet. Both the bedroom and the living area offer large glass stacking doors that provide easy access to the full-length covered verandah. With its approved plans, own access from the driveway, separate alarm system, and electricity usage counter, the cottage is ideal for extra short/long-term rental income and for overflow accommodation for family and friends.

This well-positioned and immaculately maintained family home offers several additional features and value-adds and is ready for its new chapter with a family that will create many wonderful new memories.
