House for sale with 4 bedrooms, Hyde Park, Sandton

Magnificent family home and cottage set in a beautifully landscaped garden in prestigious Hyde Park
Presenting this sophisticated Cape Georgian architectural family home set in a landscaped garden and positioned in one of Hyde Park’s quietest and most secure boomed-off roads. The meticulous attention to detail and striking wooden windows and shutters, with perfectly proportioned rooms, allows for comfortable family living and sophisticated entertaining. Every space in this light-filled home is designed to take full advantage of the north-facing aspect.

A welcoming portico leads one into a generous, elegant entrance hall. Black and white Spanish marble tiles and a large crystal chandelier create the central space of this cleverly designed home. The main living rooms; the formal sitting room with a gas fireplace which opens out through double French doors onto a secret garden with a fountain, the dining room with a large bay window overlooking the entrance fountain and driveway, and the custom-designed family room which opens out to the gracious front veranda, all lead off from the entrance hall. The spacious veranda accommodates a generous outdoor seating area as well as a long dining table for lazy days and long lunches savouring our great Joburg weather with family and friends. A private study with bespoke hand-crafted wooden shelving and cupboards, has a north-facing bay window to the garden and double French doors leading out to the courtyard.

The well designed gourmet kitchen is fitted with white cupboards and granite top counters. The Morso fireplace with eat-in kitchen table offers perfect spaces to cook and share meals together while looking out towards the enchanting courtyard planted with iceberg roses, lemon trees, hydrangeas, and herbs. There is a generous pantry, walk-in cold room, and separate scullery.

From the grand entrance hall leads a dramatic staircase which curves around to the upstairs where the four bedrooms can be found. Each bedroom faces north, with wide sash windows overlooking the parklike garden. The spacious main bedroom suite consists of a luxurious full bathroom with granite tops, a walk-in dressing room, and a private balcony overlooking the garden. The second and third bedrooms have ample built-in cupboards and share their own passageway - with a charming full bathroom between the bedrooms.
