This iconic and romantic 1920s home takes you into a world of luxury and history. Commissioned by Senator Whiteside, a well known Cape Town personality, and inspired by a neo-classical Italian Villa in Florence.

Up the steps through various terraces, you arrive at the front door. Through this door you enter a circular entrance hall with a domed ceiling, which sets the tone for the glamour which is to come. Most of the floors are suspended wood strip and the ceilings are vaulted. The formal lounge has tall French doors leading out to the verandah which wraps around most of the house. The marble Gagganau fitted kitchen is elegant with top of the range appliances. Open plan to the dining room allows modern living and casual entertaining. The kitchen and dining room also lead onto the verandah and a beautiful swimming pool, jacuzzi and gas fire place. The main bedroom is sumptuous with a dressing room and bathroom. On the same level is a study or extra bedroom. Downstairs there is a media room, a wine cellar, a circular lounge or study and two bedrooms, both en-suite. In addition there is garaging for three cars, a laundry and a balustraded view patio at roof level where you are greeted with 360 degree of breathtaking ocean and mountain views.

You have to experience this iconic home in person to truly appreciate her beauty.
