Good afternoon, good afternoon, good afternoon everyone! Welcome - this is Xavier with Luxury Homes Johannesburg
Today, we are once again with our favorite tour guide Marussia
who's gonna take us on a beautiful tour of this contemporary family home.
Now, first of all, we are in Waterkloof proper in Pretoria Old East, where behind us, we are going to
tour this beautiful 4 bedroom, 5 bathroom, 2 garage property that is currently on the market
for R7.99 million. Without further ado, Marussia, please! Thank you very much!
What I absolutely love about this location here is that we are literally meters away from
one of the top schools and we'll talk about it as we go through the house the house itself is
on a panhandle so super secure with plenty of parking space I think easily 8-10 cars
can park outside so you can have a lovely party here and of course it's got the double garage
and the manicured garden that welcomes you right from the word go from the very entrance you see
this stunning zen looking garden and you are into the property was completed not even a
year ago, so it's a brand new super modern and you see from the entrance there's some stone cladding
just to give it uh some extra texture and we'll see through the property various elements at play
high doors and this here the entrance door first we have a little entrance with the security door
just to welcome some lighting and then we've got the pivot door that opens into the actual
property so again if the front door is closed we can just have the air flowing through the space
and immediately to the left, you see this sliding door and it just literally retracts into the wall
and welcomes us into a little seating area and this space has multiple purposes we have two
separate rooms which could be the two bedrooms and currently, the one is set up as a bedroom
the second is a lounge this space can be a granny flat beloved family member long term
space or it can of course also be used as a home work environment - I imagine a psychologist's rooms
with the waiting room here and next door with the actual cabinet or various other purposes but we
have two massive rooms and every single room has an aircon what i really like here also is that
wherever possible they have screened neighbors so super private views from all your rooms
and here we've got those security screens and they almost invisible really and
also they block mosquitoes potentially so really nice use for this room fourth bedroom
or currently the pajama lounge or lounge and right next to it would be one of the bathrooms
this one is with a shower and the toilet so nice and privately tucked out of the way sitting room
here again, if you want to turn this into a full on apartment, this can also be the kitchenette area
now we're through into the bedroom and the great thing about this house is that all the bedrooms
this one downstairs and the two upstairs can easily serve as master bedrooms this one of course
being on the ground floor we've got the sliding doors and i just want to take a second to look at
the beautifully crafted aluminum frames it is not your ordinary charcoal this is a very soft
gray color it complements the look the walls also are in very very soft
gray almost off-white wherever they've added some security features it is so subtle you
just don't even notice it and here we've got the fan as well and throughout this room, we have also
underfloor heating being in Pretoria Old East, I don't know if you actually need underfloor heating
but it's here to use en-suite walk-in closet with a little station here for your makeup
separate toilet and a really stunning bathroom and we'll see the same kind of theme throughout
the bathrooms upstairs as well massive shower plenty of space you can actually put a seat here
bath and a double basin the idea and the design here it is also wheelchair friendly so this entire
ground floor apartment should i say that could be a two-bedroom or a one-bedroom massive apartment
is wheelchair friendly so if you need it you've got it and again very high ceilings
and everything beautifully done the finishes are really perfect
and now we're out and going down this corridor into the main house what is really great is
the corridor that leads to the house gives you an opportunity to display your artwork
and the owners have graciously left some of the artwork here just to show us the opportunity
and at the same time it makes that apartment very private so if it is a workspace environment with
a lot of people visiting it is far enough from the house so it's not to bother anyone
the house itself we've now walked into the open plan living space and really great feature here
sliding doors all opening into the garden private garden and we're now into the space
where we see the kitchen dining room and lounge this house was recently completed so
everything is pristine i don't even know if an omelette's ever been cooked in this kitchen and
just look at the choice of the light fittings throughout and if you just take a look up as well
we've got this concrete ceiling so of course, that means that we've got a solid slab and again
the attention to detail the down lighters that you see were drilled and designed into the slab
another great feature of having the slab apart from the aesthetically pleasing element is that
there is no echo there is no sound traveling from downstairs upstairs adding to the privacy
of the space they've chosen caesar stone tops with charcoal cabinetry and just a touch of wood here
and there i really like the exposed shelving that you've got here so you can really display your
pretty bits and bobs in the kitchen and they have plenty of space here for your double door
whirlpool fridge soft clothes cabinetry and around the corner we see a massive scullery so plenty of
cupboards here and then if we just quickly walk around the corner, you see there's a walk-in pantry
quite a big space so all your groceries would go in here and a big scullery area with a second
pantry and that second pantry i would use for a laundry room and this is straight from the garage
so from the garage we go into the house and a nice courtyard in the back don't know if you
saw it but it's always nice to have that kind of feature for all your laundry and you know
anything unsightly though these people are very tidy i would fill this up with unsightly stuff
you've got this gorgeous window and you see from every side of the house they've used the
opportunity to have this garden peeping into the space really stunning non-slip
tiles on the ground floor and just take a second to look at the size of these tiles i think they're
1m- by-50cm so really nice textured gray and non-slip very very beautifully done another
stunning light fitting above your eight-seater dining room table can easily be a 10-seater
once again the space can expand with with your needs and under the staircase which we'll look at
shortly but you have quite a lot of space and i personally imagine wine racks here because
it would just lends itself to the texture you okay all right and the lounge area is right next
to you so you don't really even need to get up you just pull a bottle of wine and you sort it
fireplace hitting the whole space here easily and another sliding door
opening into the massive patio area so the first thing is I really like that they're sliding and
not folding so no wind will ever affect the doors secondly, the patio is super deep and they've built
a lot of storage and a sink separately as well as a built in brae right next to you
another gorgeous light fitting and you see we had steel inside now we have wicker it's uh
bringing in various earthy elements in here they've also introduced here a roller blind so
if the sun is coming in too strong or if there's wind and rain and so on you can protect all
your furniture but the patchway is very deep you can put soft furniture very easily here
and now we out into the garden beautiful garden really they have done it very
low maintenance but it is already pretty much ready you just need to water it and maintain
look at the frame now this is a custom steel frame screen privacy screen that they have installed and
of course once these trees are completely grown it will just add to the drama with the green on the
background of the charcoal and at the same time gives you complete privacy from your neighbors
and i did mention earlier we are literally two minutes from one of the top schools here
in Waterloof - it's Waterkloof Primary and we're minutes also from Waterkloof Corner but because
this house is on a panhandle with the privacy screens and all that it is so quiet you don't even
know that you are in the middle of pretoria old east and old east of course is the most desirable
place to be in Pretoria I used to live down the road and I loved every second of it with the big
massive trees walkways parks and everything else we're now climbing up the staircase and
floating staircase on a solid steel beam with the glass balustrade and the oak finish of the steps
and as we go up we had the landing that separates the bedrooms each bedroom is very private there is
also here a security door so this door can roll down and completely secure the upstairs section
immediately to your right is a toilet just a guest loo so if you have guests separate and now we on
in one of the suites and as you walk in first i'm wowed by how high this door frame is and this is
also in line with the height of the ceiling easily i would say four and a half five meter super high
ceiling separate toilet on your right hand side and let's first walk into the master bedroom
this is the one master bedroom but really each one of them can be a master bedroom you've got
the same security mosquito net screening on the site again you have an aircon here and the fans i
must say in summer you do need a bit of an airflow and you've got access to your own private balcony
sliding doors they have built-in and they've installed the curtains here and the blinds in
line with the entire look very nice big balcony and really amazing private view of the city
and bearing in mind how much pretoria has grown of late
to see such massive trees you just know that there's just this uh this area is really special
the closest mall Brooklyn Mall of course and I would say over the last 5-to-10 years
Brooklyn Mall has really become the flagship mall for luxury products and top-end shops
we're now into the en-suite again look at those ceilings i can't even think i think it's probably
a six-meter and we've got these windows bringing in additional light in there and i always forget
there's a special name for those windows pocket windows and the double basins bath very luxurious
big bath double size shower and a walk-in closet with a big window at the end bringing in the
balcony and the view of outside this house is solar powered and it has an inverter as well
so not entirely off-grid but pretty much there is no large shading to worry about here
it's beautifully staged I can just imagine if I was to buy this place, I would probably
want to buy the furniture with it and the owners are a little bit on the arty side so
imagine also filling the walls with your own art or just selecting amazing art pieces
to display here Waterkloof being a place where you can find a lot of art shops literally one street
up from here so i would definitely recommend that you do some shopping we've now gone through the
corridor and we're into a kitchenaid area upstairs who wants to go all the way downstairs just to
make coffee so we've got our coffee station and a building fridge for the midnight snacks
and we're now into the upstairs home office again it's a multifunctional room but set
up as an office can be a pajama lounge can be an office or it can in fact even
be a bedroom it's a big enough room to serve all these purposes again with an aircon built-in
blinds super high ceilings the style throughout the place is top quality and really like the wood
they've chosen for the counter tops here in the office one more element to bring in
through to the last bedroom and again big enough to be another master bedroom also
with its own balcony and aircon massive walking closet and an ensuite bathroom
plenty of cupboard space what's very clever is they've also done seating area so you have
a cupboard with a soft seat inside your closet you know to sit and change your shoes and so on
and all the bedrooms i don't know if you noticed in the previous one but we've got it here as well
is you've got this really special lights that are already built in
so no funny lamp shades to fall over your head at night and its own private balcony
so we can enjoy this stunning garden once again
the garden is big enough the stand is over a thousand square meters so
if one is interested in having a swimming pool it's very easy uh to add onto the space
but you also have a lot of parks nearby you have gyms nearby so if you are into sports
you've got a lot of facilities down the road
maybe walk back downstairs and have a look at the garden once again
so what a clue for parts of having the best schools it's also a very very social area so
if you come here on a weekend you will see people cycling walking their dogs and enjoying the space
there's a beautiful spot with a lot of restaurants down the road here in
menlo park literally five minutes away and on weekends you just see people out on the streets
and socializing and enjoying the beautiful weather and the beautiful suburb
and of course being Pretoria Old East, we are minutes away from all the big malls
every single highway you can imagine and you are just in the best space to be in Pretoria.
