Elegance villa

This characterful modern villa is accented with warm, welcoming colours, sculpted African artefacts and large, colourful oil paintings that offset its clean, contemporary lines. The entire length and side of this coastal villa is glass-fronted, with spectacular views of Camps Bay, Lion’s Head and the Twelve Apostles mountains behind, from the living area and rim-flow pool.

The lower level of the villa is the main entertaining area and is partially open-plan with the living and dining areas making full use of the views at the front of the house. A second family room with a plasma screen and a fireplace is set back from the main living area, and the generous L-shaped kitchen and utility area runs the full length of the back of the house.

Entertaining is an absolute joy in this house. The front terrace is perfect for sundowners but even if the Cape wind is blowing, there’s ample space in the lounge for everyone to be indoors while enjoying the same view. The well-equipped kitchen is ideal for entertaining, as much of the heart of the kitchen is hidden from the main living and dining area. It also has loads of counter space, including a small bar counter on the entrance hall side.

The property is accessed from Ronald Street, which is the street above Geneva Drive, and is in a private pan-handle. Parking is off-street for three cars and is behind secure gates. Access is through the front door of the villa.
