This majestic heritage home is a rare example of unspoiled Art Deco architecture and design throughout. Be transported back in time to the grand opulence of the 1930s and live like a royal in this tastefully decorated home with all of the original detail, lovingly preserved.

Every aspect of the house has been carefully thought out by the architect and its original owners. The house exudes style, from the oak parquet flooring to the Italian finishes on the walls.

Enter through the magnificent entrance hall which has a sweeping stairway with its curved Teak banister and art deco wrought iron baluster, original light features, and bevelled and crown glass doors. There are also three integrated picture frames that still contain their original etchings.

To the left of the foyer is a large hexagon shaped glass sunroom which allows light to pour into the house. It overlooks and leads to the beautiful, wind-free, tranquil paved garden with a water feature.

Each of the reception areas flow seamlessly from one to the other, with the sunlight streaming in throughout the day. The spacious lounge and dining room is decorated with art deco fireplaces and impressive views over the Zandvlei Estuary and the Muizenberg Mountains. The home keeps one enthralled with unique details such as the two built-in mirrored cupboards as well as a butler system, which is used for the transfer and warm keeping of food from the kitchen to the diners. There is a wine cupboard with shelving expertly tipped to conserve the wine. Off the lounge and dining room you can sit back, relax, enjoy a cocktail and immerse in the breath-taking views from the sunroom.

The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with the original imported solid cherry cupboards. The surprise details on the inside of the doors are just one of the many surprises that this home holds. The kitchen with granite tops has been modernized for functionality and useability without losing any of its charm.

Completing the downstairs area is a large laundry area off the kitchen as well as a full bathroom and guest WC.

The upstairs floor comprises of 4 spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms, both with their unique tiles and character features (one with balcony). All the bedrooms boast with storage space and the view from each window is like a landscape portrait. The front of the home overlooks the estuary and Muizenberg Mountain range. To the left of the home is the ocean and Muizenberg village and to the right is the Constantiaberg mountain range.

Adjacent to the home is a self-contained flat, with its own entrance and terrace garden to entertain guests. Perfect for a granny flat or an income generating Airbnb or long let. The flat contains a kitchen with gas stove, a fireplace, lounge area, bedroom and bathroom.

Additional Features: spacious double garage and 2 Solar geysers.
