A 1.9km drive is all it takes to go from Cape Town’s city hustle and bustle to ambient beauty, personified in vineyards and 'country-esque' scenery, which is only one of the many perks Constantia has to offer.
Constantia is situated amongst Cape Town’s oldest wine routes, and thanks to its close proximity to the M3 and N2 highways, it is easy to travel to any destination.
This is according to Tanya Jovanovski, Franchisee of Rawson Auctions in Western Cape, who says the home located in this beautiful suburb in Broadacres, Sweet Valley, is going on auction.
"Most importantly the home is situated within walking distance of the American International School, and is only a stone’s throw away from Kirstenbosch National Gardens - one of the greatest botanical gardens of the world, a peaceful natural oasis. Here you can enjoy an afternoon walk, or even a family picnic," she says.
Situated in an exclusive luxury, high-security estate, she says this property is, to say the least, a prestigious open-plan home which resembles a villa in its architecture.
The home has four bedrooms, two with en suite bathrooms and two sharing a lavatory.
The main bedroom has an en suite and a walk-in closet. All bedrooms are carpeted and boast natural light. There is an additional room which can be used as a study or a fifth bedroom.
Jovanovski says the home has a spacious lounge and dining area, television room, and large kitchen kitted out with a separate pantry and built-in cupboards.
Chandeliers are hung throughout the house, with fireplaces present in both the lounge and kitchen.
“There is a seamless flow to the property. Each room is styled in a series of modern, yet rustic, architectural nuances, which allows for the house to actually become a home,” says Jovanovski.
Besides being in a secure estate with excellent security, intercom-controlled access and remote-controlled gates at the entrance, she says the home itself has an alarm system with ADT response at hand.
“Outside is a lush, green, varied and expansive garden, kept flourishing by a borehole and full irrigation system, including four water storage tanks,” she says.
“One can enjoy breathtaking views from the open plan entertainment area overlooking the large swimming pool.”
The property includes a double garage, as well as staff quarters with two bedrooms, both with en suite bathrooms.
The auction will be held by silent by tender, with written offers accepted in a sealed envelope. Tenders close on Wednesday, 27 January 2016 at 12:00.
The guided price is R10 million, but all offers will be reviewed. The auction will be held at Rawson Property Group’s head office 222 Main Road, Rondebosch.
