Good afternoon, good afternoon, good afternoon everyone! Welcome - this is Xavier with Luxury Homes Johannesburg.
Today, you guys are in for one heck of a spoiling - we are in Houghton Estate, in front
of this magnificent contemporary masterpiece. Now, before we get started, I'm here with listing agent
Rob from Hamilton's Property Portfolio, who's going to take us on a tour. Quick specs on the house:
this is a 4 bedroom house, 4.5 bathroom, 4 garage house that's on the market for R40,000,000
You'll know why in the next few minutes because yeah, I'm running out of
objectives describing this property - you'll see for yourself! Without further ago, Rob, let's get crackin'
Xavier - thank you! So, ladies and gentlemen, welcome! As you can obviously see, it's impressive;
it's bold; it's exciting; and it's beyond words, so come through here and have a look!
You can see from the structure itself, it's a very
unique style of building and what comes to mind is masculinity contemporary style class
just to look the outside - it already sets the tone - I think for what we're about to see here yeah
It exudes that contemporary elegance you can see with the cladding, the glass, exposed steel i-beams.
How's this for making a first impression?!
You're gonna come home and see your cars.
You mentioned earlier when we did the the dry run.
Yeah, from your office, you've got a great vantage point into the garage straight into the garage.
This is the lobby main reception area.
The bottom level and the top level consist of 2,200 sqm tons of space flow natural light
And a very exciting first lounge of furniture over here - that's a V8.
Looks like a serious piece of machinery over there.
All of these windows open and flow double glazed glass, so when you're in here it's completely
secluded and it slides easy as you like. Stunning stunning stunning!
Yet another lounge - I love the interior design decoration art pieces that we're seeing throughout
We've only touched the first few lounges. Absolutely - the owner's got a phenomenal taste.
He's also got a fireplace over here
Gas fireplace, so in winter, whatever season, it is this is going to be cozy relaxed
Homely, yet always bold!
That's the accents I think in this house.
So, you've got your exposed wine display over here - your exposed wine cellar
That's an 18-litre Kanonkop. A Melchior - very nice yes yes yes!
Very nice dining and now we are coming on to the main kitchen
Everything is fitted, fridges, cupboards
We've got a hob gas - very unusual design - love it - very elegant, very contemporary with
the shape of the hub all of the lighting the bulkheads the way that's been set up
it's all been done through automation so from the comfort of wherever you are in the house
from your phone whatever you can control the climate the lighting you've got fitted ovens
Perfect
This is your scullery / laundry room
Plenty of extra space there
And you could hoard to your heart's content - cold room - very nice walk-in fridge cold room
Xavier, come through over here guys. And the views that you have from here! Oh yea!
You've got a guest loo over here to your right.
Automated lighting when you walk in, it lights pop on
and also very exciting you've got your breakfast nook / bar - whatever you want to use it for
So, picture yourself having a coffee here in the morning watching the news
You have noticed there are TV's throughout this place. Ooh yeah and you're going to see a lot more
We have a lift if you're so inclined and let's have a look here goods lift and
i think you could fit how many humans in here, Xavier? I hope not for too long, but yes okay
But perfect I'm not claustrophobic but there's a snooker table - I mean
Just just look at the space and how it complements the area over here - I mean
terms of entertaining and everything like that, very very impressive. Let's make sure to soak
all of this up from the other side - I mean - look at this guys - talk about taking open plan living
to the next level, like a level you've never seen before! Absolutely, this exudes contemporary living
and it's a newly-built house - the house, I believe, was built 3 years ago
now what are we looking at here so this is your office office with your garage
with a view on your vehicles - there we go
Yeah yeah yeah - this is electric car whatever you want to do Tesla
We need to get some of those in here - the office has also got a loo attached to it
This is just fit for Iron Man or Tony Stark I like it was going to say Batman
So, that's your office and you can see, it's not short on space either - it's got a fireplace
attached to it as well, I mean, the owner has got some phenomenal pieces of art over here
You said this is about a 1,000 sqm under roof that we've seen so far? Yea, we've seen a 1,000
So now, we are going to the bedroom level and it's a beautiful staircase by the way you can see it's
got fitted lights, the balustrade with the exposed glass everything like that clean, neat, masculine
Yea, masculinity is the word that comes to mind when when I see all this happening. Absolutely!
We've had a few viewers comment that it looks like an office
but I think they don't appreciate the style of contemporary design
It's the utmost of contemporary design. Now, what do you have hiding here?
Main suite - not something you see every day
This looks like the size of a house!
Absolutely, I would estimate this is at least 300 sqm just for your main suite
It has a built-in projector system, automated blinds - let's give them a bash
So, you really don't have to leave your bed
full automation comprehensive throughout
Just look at this backdrop in the back wall behind your bed!
Absolutely and just the openness of it that's what makes it so impressive
because everything flows in there's so much natural light, it's really captivating so if
you just come through this way over here you've got your en-suite bathroom
the size of the shower and this is the best part: with your favorite painting and your tv. You would never
have to miss the game - I love it. Look at those pocket windows - stunning starting stunning
natural light is not in short supply there
He's repurposed these coronation bricks and improvised this cladding just to retain some of
that traditional feel - yeah 100+ year old - yeah yeah very impressive I think that company
was established 1901 circa somewhere around then so here is your loo completely separate
and I don't think you can complain about cupboard space either
bulkheads stunning again, there's no afterthought in this house. Everything has been picked
from art to a placement to absolutely truly stunning - I mean - another peek here
I mean you have to be here to get the full ambiance, but I mean, it's really unique, really special
we spoke about this before coming in here it is just yeah breathless it's just I'm without words
Stepping in here, as beautiful as your photos are, Rob, with all due respect, they don't do
it justice, you got to see all this because you have to be in here to feel how impressive it
is and how bold and everything like that i mean this is another lounge is your main lounge
fitted cupboards of course there we go here's your television
in addition to the television, there's also a dropdown projection system over here state-of-the-art
we have roller blinds identical to what's in the main bedroom
and i mean he's really harnessed some of the natural elements - you can see the natural
light coming down there through through the roof - I love it - look at that the walls as well - yeah
It's so four seasons you just want to be everywhere in the house it's
it really captures you regardless of where you are
so come through here guys - before we walk in, this is a huge hallway - I mean just
the width of this hallway is just staggering again space he definitely definitely didn't save on it
Absolutely and the volume as well - the high walls and everything like that
it's another bedroom stunning and the natural light again Rob and projection screen
Absolutely - all of the bedrooms have got projector screens each room is
en-suite with the full bathroom stunning the finishes - I love the flooring as well the finishes
of the flooring yeah that's creed flooring and our tiles into the marble and the tiles everything like
that it really culminates into something special so now we are back into the reception area this
is where the elevator leads to and just look at the volume and the space and everything like that
and apparently if you're into stargazing you get quite a decent view especially when
there's load shedding light pollution come through here guys this is the third bedroom
again natural light i mean look at the size of these rooms
and what i like about the space is although it's big and it's imposing in a way almost intimidating
it's homely because it's warm and it's practical
and when you showed me around earlier, I thought the next room was the main bedroom
as it turns out, I don't blame you for assuming that because look at the size of this room over
here this is your your second suite once again you can see the the natural light
the space
just the size goodness guys, now you know i've had a few hundred videos done so far and like i've
mentioned to Rob, a number of times this will top my personal list of most
impressive properties that we've toured so far and i hope you have a similar experience. Absolutely!
And the attention to detail that finishes the style awesome very very very impressive
one two three bedrooms separate on this side and pretty much the entire wing is your main bedroom
the other side 2,200 sqm under roof at least so we're not short on size over here
and we're on a very big stand 4,500 sqm stand
yeah like I've predicted in the beginning, I'm going to be running out of adjectives
trying to pronounce or describe what we're looking at because it's so majestic, grand,
impressive, imposing, I mean, you name the word and it's in there - yeah because it's the word
bold is your word - bold is the word because of the contemporary style and prime prime real
estate location in Houghton Estate. Let's have one more look before we summarize
what we have done here today but Rob, thank you so much for taking us through because this...
Oh guys, I hope you're all soaking this up because this is...
I mean - look at this a hanging - how would you call this, wine display? It's a vertical
wine display - vertical wine cellar tying in with your contemporary style and everything like that
I've never seen anything like that - I've seen a house or two yeah exactly I've seen
a house or two, and so have you and yet... There's home automation throughout like you said
I love the garage the fact that you're actually in your study you can actually enjoy yours bolides.
I mean - the snooker table gets lost in this entire room and we all know this is not a
pool table, this is a snooker, so the size of the thing is just... Absolutely!
As always, Rob's details will be below - I encourage you to reach out to him for any questions you have.
Of course, you can always direct message me or leave a comment below, but guys I hope you enjoyed this
one because this is a stunner! Have an awesome awesome afternoon and thank you very much!
