Take a step back to a time when parties were grand, gardens were lush and sunny afternoons were whiled away with a few sets of tennis. This magnificent three-level home, set upon a double plot in Gemini Way, in sought-after Constantia, offers old-world charm with ample space to entertain.
Designed by architect, Stefan Antoni, the home is a pleasing combination of grandeur and comfort. Antoni is known for creating dynamic spaces that allow for memorable experiences, and this home does not disappoint. From the sizeable glass front door to the voluminous entrance foyer with its stately staircase - there is a sense of theatre throughout.
The top-level offers four en-suite bedrooms each with their own balcony boasting panoramic views across to False Bay. The balconies also overlook the tiered garden, which includes a golf course, an impressive pool and a glass-walled pavilion on the lower level. There is also a walkway leading down to the tennis court. The garden is well-established, with imposing palm trees and well-kept foliage creating a natural sanctuary. Two 10 000 litre tanks and a borehole ensure that the grounds are irrigated throughout the year.
There is access to the lower entertainment level of the home from the garden, as well as from the middle living area, where one finds the kitchen, formal lounge and informal sitting room that can also be used as a study. There are also three bedrooms downstairs, which means that the lower level - with its independent access via the garden - can be used as a separate guest area. The space also offers a sauna room, an entertainment enclave with bar fridges and plenty of space to entertain, and a wine cellar.
To enhance the dramatic flair of this multi-functional home, there is also a high-tech cinema room complete with computer-controlled audiovisual equipment, and a stage for live performances. Modern, yet inviting, this area can accommodate upwards of 50 guests.
This home is certainly not lacking when it comes to space or spectacle. Curated by a horticulturist, the garden serves as an extension of the home, creating additional opportunities to socialise and relax. There are also three storage rooms and an outside flatlet with an en suite bathroom that could be used as a teen pad, granny flat or additional guest room. A three-vehicle garage leads directly to the living area on the middle level.
The home is well-located in the heart of the Southern Suburbs, surrounded by wine farms and other attractions, and within an easy drive from nearby beaches. Yet, why would you leave? This beautiful home has plenty to keep guests of all ages entertained.
