Here in Cape Town, recognised as one of the great cities of the world, we encounter a beautiful, double storey, brand new home along with a smaller secondary Italian designed home.

Pass through the double gates and continue up the paved driveway to the principal property – a four-bedroom home exuding contemporary style both in and out. Cross the threshold and look beyond the elegant interior and across the pool to witness the second property – situated in the courtyard and employing skilled Italian design at its best.

All this in a secure environment with views to majestic mountains and just minutes away from everything that matters be it schools, sport, retailers, restaurants, boutiques, golf courses or you name it.

THE PROPERTY

Actually two properties!

Entry is via ornate gates and a broad driveway to a property as safe as houses with ample parking comprising:

1.  The contemporary brand new four-bedroom home
2. The additional beautiful classic Italian designed building

Essentially this unique combination is perfect for a large family on the one hand and on the other the additional accommodations allows one to work from home or have a ‘granny flat’ or teen pad

There’s an added bonus –  no levies!
