Set behind the boom on Chesham Road, this substantial freestanding family home forms part of a secure gated erf of just three homes, offering an added sense of privacy and exclusivity. It has a look and feel that is increasingly hard to find in Bryanston, with the generous proportions and individuality of an established home, warm wood finishes, expansive windows, double-volume spaces and skylights that draw natural light deep into the house, creating a warm and inviting sense of space. The architecture is practical but far from ordinary. There is a real sense of space as you move through the home, with the central courtyard, double-volume atrium and open stairwell creating interesting views from one area to another. Timber skirtings, the wood-finished staircase and touches of exposed wood bring warmth against the lighter walls and tiled floors, while the large windows keep the home connected to its garden surroundings. The entrance is through a private courtyard and double wooden doors, opening into spacious reception areas. From here, the home unfolds into two lounges, a bar and a large entertainment patio, making it particularly easy to entertain without everything feeling formal. One lounge sits beneath a skylight, while the more relaxed family lounge has a fireplace and opens directly to the bar and patio. The covered patio looks across the garden and swimming pool and becomes a natural extension of the living areas. The kitchen is large and full of personality, with red and white cabinetry, black stone countertops, a gas hob and double ovens. A separate scullery accommodates three appliances. The dining room overlooks the central courtyard, while the double-volume atrium and skylight draw light into the middle of the home. There is also a downstairs guest bedroom with a full bathroom, as well as a separate study with doors opening outside. Upstairs, the accommodation is spacious and each bedroom has its own character. Bedroom 1 is carpeted and filled with natural light from large corner windows, with an en-suite shower bathroom. Bedroom 2 features corner windows, a dedicated study area, air-conditioning and an en-suite shower bathroom. Bedroom 3 is generously sized, with laminated flooring, direct access to the terrace, a walk-in closet and a full en-suite bathroom with a freestanding bath. The main bedroom is a generous private suite, positioned separately from the other bedrooms. It has direct access to the terrace, allowing the room to open onto the outdoors, as well as air-conditioning. The walk-in dressing room is exceptionally spacious, with ample built-in cupboard space, while the open-plan en-suite continues the generous proportions with a freestanding bath and his-and-hers basins. The overall feel is spacious, private and relaxed, with the terrace adding an extra dimension to the suite. A shared pajama lounge connects the upstairs bedrooms and opens onto the terrace, creating an informal family space away from the main reception areas. Outside, the property has the kind of garden that makes the home feel removed from the city. The large pool sits in front of the house, surrounded by established greenery and generous lawn areas. Beyond the garden is a refurbished tennis and basketball court, adding a fantastic recreational element for an active family.
