Hout Bay Sublime

The house has been configured to provide the perfect setting for an extended family, providing a main house and additional, self-contained studio. In the principal house on the ground floor is a magnificent open-plan living room, comprising lounge, dining room and immaculate, designer kitchen. Well-placed windows afford light and picturesque views from multiple spots, and doors open onto a beautiful terrace, which in turn opens onto the lawned garden and an ocean facing pool. There is a separate TV lounge and both living areas have a fireplace, perfect for cosy evenings. The bedroom wing is no less impressive, containing the master suite and three more bedrooms, all with build-in storage. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and there is an elegant family bathroom, and both master and second bedroom have doors opening to the outside. The house also has a study, making this the perfect property in which to combine work with relaxation. The studio flatlet is finished to the same, notable quality, and offers a cosy lounge, kitchenette and double bedroom, en-suite. Fixtures, finishes and decor are of the highest quality throughout, with the pale wood flooring, windows and subtle palette creating a calm, Scandinavian ambiance. The property is set in large, mature grounds, and includes, along with the pool, a jungle gym, a sunken trampoline, lawns and umpteen corners to relax or play in – the perfect family house. Views over the bay and of the mountain create a glorious backdrop. There is large double garage, plus a carport and additional parking, and the property is walled and secure, with beams, CCTV and alarm.

Hout Bay itself offers multiple amenities – a range of cafes and restaurants, shops, a market and harbour – and it is extremely well-positioned for accessing the seaboard, Cape Town and Constantia. It really is hard to overstate the quality of this genuinely lovely house, which offers the most perfect setting and accommodation for the discerning visitor.
