Good afternoon, good afternoon, goof afternoon, everyone! Welcome - this is Xavier with Luxury Home Johannesburg
Today, once again, we are in the beautiful Waterfall Country Estate
with your favorite tour guide Marussia, where we're about to tour this contemporary family home.
Now, before we get started, the usual the stats: 3 beds, 4 baths, 3 garages, and
it's currently on the market for R7.499 mil. Guys - you're gonna love this one!
Nice open plan beautiful - Marussia! Thank you very much - it's a gorgeous home indeed and we're going to rush
inside because it's a busy day and there's quite a few cars taking off to work at the moment but we
have a gorgeous home all the bedrooms are en-suite and we have 3 garages which is really great
because people often run out of garage space - the owners have put a lot of interesting elements in
this house to make it super unique and give it a lot of character so starting with the stone-clad walls.
We have partial stone-cladding throughout the house and we have this beautiful wood feature
welcoming us into the space and my absolute favorite we're starting with my favorite
this is a solid steel door and it is rusted specifically for added character and beauty
you must just see the thickness of this i think any bank would absolutely love to have this door
as their safe vault you know where you keep all the golden diamonds it really is gorgeous
very beautiful and I'm also told if someone's misbehaving you lock them out and there is no
way in, so awesome feature 3 garages like i said - oh and a nice puppy that is helping us
with the walkthrough - the one garage is on the left hand side and it has plenty of additional storage
and as we enter you see double volume immediately the eyes drawn to this gorgeous chandelier
again all the interesting features they've used in the house recycled lights turned
into this stunning chandelier and we'll see similar features everywhere else we go so
very zen very eco-friendly home the entrance hall a couple of steps so it's nicely elevated
bringing the eye into the living spaces and we walk into the dining room area all the flooring is
screed flooring so back to the earthy eco-friendly features of the house and a massive dining room
area open plan with several other living spaces that we'll talk about shortly and immediately next
to the kitchen of course because you do want to entertain your guests and cook at the same
time and just be part of the whole party massive kitchen space what is really nice is if you look
at the space we have about 2.5 meter between the cupboard and the center aisle with the
idea you're socializing you have all your guests here and people can mingle nicely the center aisle
is a concrete concrete slab i think you would say with the building cabinetry in it on both sides
and of course the breakfast nook the pop-up electrical plugs and the most amazing chandeliers
Stephen Wickus, right - super famous South African designer, so like I said this house is jam-packed
with features like this where you've used every single element available we've got the glass here
and the steel throughout and the wood features throughout the place kitchen of course very
modern so we have the modern the recycled the steel the rust it's really really interesting
techno gas gas cooker with a hub the house is connected to the central gas supply that we
have in Waterfall, which is another really great thing to have here super easy
and caesar stone counter tops in the rest of the kitchen over and above that center aisle
and look again they've used wood cladding as um to highlight one of the walls here and the
residents of the home have now very conveniently used this as a memory board so inspiration board
really cool feature again through here space for our fridge nice big pantry and a big
scullery area and around the corner there's also a massive domestic helper room as well
so it's just everything feels spacious and airy and what they've also done is we have
this complete open plan design however they have allowed also to close off certain areas
you can see these folding doors that can close this massive patio area off and make it a
completely separate room so if you have different parties maybe children adults watching different
tvs then they're not going to interfere with each other same story here the patio area can
be completely opened to the garden and closed off to the house so you can fold the doors closed and
now we are finding ourselves into the one pajama lounge stunning wood-burning fireplace and it's
um heating both the pajama lounge as well as the bar area nice and cozy very private room so
you know it almost gives you this cinema feel experience here and everything flows so from the
tv room we're walking into the bar area semi-open plan i would say nice and high ceilings with the
white ceiling boards so modern and a little bit of a rustic feel just to again give it
even more character with the exposed brick and with that solid wood on top really stunning and
i think you can also you know carve your name on it so you know that looks like
that's what needs to be done here I see people here enjoying watching their sport
and of course plenty of space behind the bar for storage with the very nice cabinetry
same style as the kitchen and another feature wall here we've got the exposed brick so in the kitchen
we had the wood now we have the brick all elements brought together to make this very unique home
again folding doors from the bar area into the patio so the idea being is that patio area can
completely close off from the house and remain open to the garden but of course what i've seen
over the years is people choose to have everything open because this is a social house it's a house
to enjoy every square centimeter of it look at the chandelier another absolute masterpiece and
ideally, I would say suspended over a pool table or a table tennis table I imagine a lot
of parties done here and plenty of space you can see they have this massive corner unit here and
I call this a psychologist's chair right you sit
here and you just tell us all what you think about the house you absolutely love it
a bit of space for storage and the building bry area here which is a gas gas prime stainless steel
right and the entire patio area as well as the rest of the house all of the glass
sliding doors are tinted so they provide complete privacy as well as block the strong sun and you
also have roller blinds and the great feature of this specific style roller blinds is that they
still allow you to see your beautiful garden but at the same time, they can block the sun and give
you the privacy that you want this house is over 400 sqm the stand is over a 1,000 sqm
and the way it was built is tucked to the front close to the street to give you as
much garden space as you can possibly wish for and you can see they're enjoying their garden
plenty of space for the children to run around massive swimming pool i think it's a 10 by 6 meter
of course covered for protection and this is one of the best pool covers you can possibly get
i'm using the same one you can walk on it you can fall on it anything you want and it keeps
your water nice and clean and you can see your patio you just flow from your patio out
into the garden and up a couple of steps into another really really cool area it's a boma
with built-in concrete seating around it as well as an outdoor braai and a pizza oven and
that pizza oven to me is like the highlight number one - it just makes it really aesthetically pleasing
but of course, it also invites you to make pizzas or even try yourself at
different stuff i think the flavor of the day is mexican these days so tacos i imagine and
of course sitting around the fire and from there straight back into your dining room
if you want your formal dining or you just want your sit down dinner so several rooms
all interlinked all giving you the space that you need for proper big nice parties
should we now head on for the upstairs sleeping quarters - just a quick note we've got a guest
toilet right next to the double garage here so on this side we've got a double garage guest toilet
tucked away nice and private and then a floating wood staircase leading us to the second floor
what is also quite nice about the way they've designed the staircase is it allows
you for the double volume entrance but at the same time it keeps everything upstairs private
there's no echo and also the sound doesn't travel from downstairs up
upstairs also the massive windows bring in the outdoor the beauty of the trees that you have
as well as the sunlight we have now walked upstairs and the first room we walk into
is the upstairs pyjama lounge massive room you can see i've got my friend waiting here
and they've used this as a family playroom but I have seen this room designed with a
big corner unit tv unit as well as a gym area it's a really big room and it is framed by windows so
you've got again the natural light and then we're walking down the corridor towards the bedrooms
taking a moment to look at the stunning chandelier and the view of the stunning tree outside
gives you the privacy but at the same time allows for the sun light to come in what you're
looking at on the ceiling those vents there is a cooling system built into the roof of this house
and it is a very popular very well known imported cooling system that runs throughout summer on very
low energy costs and it basically makes sure the entire house is nice and cool we've walked
past the linen cupboard quite a big cleaning cupboard and now we're into bedroom number one
another really nice feature of this house is that all the living spaces and all the bedrooms
are north facing so this bedroom has a nice private balcony and it is ensuite with a shower
rooms are very spacious what i have also heard some people say is if they would want
to have a fourth bedroom that pajama lounge upstairs lends itself perfectly for that
again sliding doors into the balcony and this room is tucked away private then we've got the second
bedroom also on suite this one has even more cupboard space plenty of cupboard
space you can see the cupboards all the way on the one side and what it also has is this
built-in desk area so for dressing room as well as for study space and you can see it's got a huge
bed this is a king-size full poster bed but if you're using it for a child I would
say a double bed will be really perfect stunning windows lots of natural light
and access to this really big balcony and it overlooks also the garden we can pop out
onto the balcony if you want to see it here nice feature here we've got an ensuite bathroom with a
bath and shower and what they've done is they've installed these american shutters
you can close it off and make it a super private bathroom or you can keep them open and make it
you know allow for some air circulation here but it is the ensuite just for this bedroom
throughout the house what you see is warm tones of grace and a little bit of wood so the flooring
upstairs is all laminate wood floors in perfect condition door frames also in wood color so again
it just brings the earthy elements to the space with the gray, it works really nicely and now we've
walked into the main bedroom it's really a big room they got a tv room section here they've got
a working station you know so from bed watch a bit of tv jump onto your desk immediately but there's
plenty of space and it also has access to that balcony that we saw from the other bedroom as well
and here we've got these copper lights that are suspended above your bed so the
the night lights are also really pretty and once again different and unique what we're
not seeing behind the desk is also there is a wood burning fireplace in this room as well
semi open plant bathroom the toilet is separate and a really beautiful this is again
it's a composite bath but it gives you that impression of a
stone bath and a double shower leading onto an outside shower as well and on a day like today i
it's it's 31 degrees, it feels like it's 51. I would like to jump into that shower after the
this video another gorgeous chandelier and what was the name of the designer - Xavier?
separate toilet and again your double vanities with the concrete tops and build in a lot of
storage space and the backlit mirrors and all of this is it it feels like the mirror is floating
on this wood clad wall it really again the mirrors stand out and the chandelier is
reflected in the mirror very pretty effect and walking through again the this is the closet
for the master bedroom so it is immediately on your left-hand side as you walk into the room
it has plenty of space for packing and it just it is tucked away but at the same time
very easy access from the bathroom and from the bedroom
very cozy feel family feel I imagine being very comfortable living here
plenty of storage and so much natural light
most of the rooms you'll find that they hardly ever use curtains but some of the
rooms you have a bit of curtains and most of the rooms you have the roller blinds so it
just gives it again some privacy and the house is very well located within gate 2 in waterfall
so very close to the schools you can literally jump on the golf cart in fact the previous family
used to go to school on the golf cart and you you write it one of the several
options for schooling around here and another great feature is that all the stands around
this house are now built so within the next six months every single stand around us will be fully
completed and you have no more construction left so it is a very nice established residential area
is this your favorite spot it is it sure is this is beautiful maybe you can walk
on this side i just want to make sure i have another glimpse at the entertainment section
yes the entertainment section is my favorite spot actually
and i can just imagine spending most of my days here and what i really love is with the sliding
doors you don't have any issues with wind closing opening doors you just sit in the space you see
the family you see your friends and you enjoy it Yea - like you said, you can compartmentalize
it make it nice and separate sections if need be or just close everything up or open it
all up if you have big parties! Guys - 3 bed, 4 bath, 3 garages, on the market R7.499 mil.
