This gracious home in the Silvertree Estate, on the slopes of Steenberg mountain, is set in a lush, established garden. It exudes an atmosphere of tranquility and serenity.

The covered L-shaped veranda, surrounding the lawn-facing side of the house, is wide and spacious and provides an inviting area for relaxed outdoor living and entertaining, with an built-int barbeque. Sliding glass doors in the open-plan living rooms lead out onto the garden and decked-pool. This elegant area has a double-sided closed-combustion fireplace shared between the dining room and sitting rooms, ensuring cosy winter evenings around the fire.

Overlooking a picturesque courtyard with a fountain and rose bushes, the well-equipped kitchen features a central island and a separate scullery.

A spacious study leads onto the garden, with charming views of the fountain and pool. A bathroom next door offers the possibility of using this as an extra bedroom, if need be.

The generously proportioned master suite, with double doors and large windows opening onto a private veranda, enjoys spectacular mountain views. The large en-suite bathroom is also finished with the same stylish shutters as the bedroom. The two further charming upstairs bedrooms have ample built-in cupboard space and large windows allowing light to flood the rooms. These share a bathroom.

The property has a double garage and an additional single garage, with a separate laundry adjoining it. Above the double garage is a quaint apartment with its own entrance from the courtyard. It is perfect for a teenager as there is an inter-leading door to the upstairs portion of the house, if one wishes to use it. Alternatively, the space could be used as an upstairs playroom.
