looking to buy a classic family home in Branson good afternoon this is Xavier with Luxury Homes Johannesburg
Today we are back with Marussia from LuxLiv Property Group who's going to take us on a
tour of this stunning home as always specs on the house this is a four bedroom three and a
half bathroom two garage home wait and please see what's on the inside guys enjoy Borussia
thank you very much it is so exciting to be in a slightly different area from my usual we're now in
bryanston we've been asked often to feature some of the gorgeous homes in bryanston and
here we are and what I love about the area is some flowers just came down on Mead which is absolutely
stunning we get the rain of flowers from the trees this is what I love about it the massive trees in
this area the massive size of the stand that we are on these stands are very few and far between
at the moment so it is really exciting to have a property that is a big family home on a very
big stand that yeah very few found here and we are also in a boomed off area so security here
is absolutely exceptional and we are also on a cow de sac so super quiet street top security in fact
it's a very famous person living across from us so the security is second to none and this beautiful
front garden so I just want to showcase these trees have taken many years to grow so we should
take a second to enjoy the look and also enjoy the shade they provide because it's just getting quite
hot here there's a massive Avery the homeowners are animal lovers so the home not only caters for
humans but it also caters for animals which is really magnificent and here is maybe just a nod
to also loving horses although this home does not come with maybe not with Stables but it does come
with a lot of horsepower but that doesn't get sold with the house just want to point out but yeah
very nice little force on the side of the car just showcasing what you can be parking in your space
it is a true garage and two carport home and a very beautiful front Courtyard setup so imagine
driving your vehicles around as you're dropping off guests to come and visit and then a stunning
wide staircase leading you into the entrance of the home what they've done is this is an older
house what they've done is they've preserved all the classical beauty of the house but they've also
added some Modern elements into it as well the this wrote on gate very pretty as well as adding
security the house also has alarm system it has electric fencing but like I said being situated
waiters it is exceptionally safe we're entering now the home double volume entrance standing
chandelier floating above and then the eyes immediately drawn out into the garden you've
got Windows floor to ceiling windows at every opportunity of this house you'll see floods
of natural light and this just brings in the the garden space and makes it really really it's it's
like a house and garden style home that's the The Vibes I'm getting here you want to see it
on a magazine and perfect timing really being Christmas the owner has gone all out with the
Christmas decorations super exciting I'm waiting to see if I can smell the cookies for for Santa
immediately to the right of the entrance is the family room very large space stunning kitchen
speaking of cookies this is my favorite part of the kitchen massive counter there's a huge walk-in
Pantry there we're not gonna look into it because it is really used for what it's meant to and white
and black and you'll see throughout the house this element is taken through with the living
rooms as well so it's dramatic it's classical it's um you know it brings you a little bit of the old
times but in a very stylish and very modern way because this these are really the colors today and
from the kitchen stepping out into the family room living space standing fireplace and this
massive mirror just reflecting again the garden so you can see your garden from the mirror from
the doors that open onto the garden that we're gonna look at shortly and just gives extra depth
into the room as well being a modern house this house also comes with solar power so we're gonna
have to worry about any form of load shedding and there are aircons in quite a few of the rooms so
being also High ceilings it's a very cool very Breezy home we've now walked through the entrance
hall again out of the family room and kitchen and into the other entertainment spaces the
social rooms and it's really four rooms into one but in a very very nice Creative Design way so
immediately to the right we step into a formal dining room beautiful they've exposed the double
volume here and they've suspended some of these chandeliers we'll see it next door as well as well
as a two-sided fireplace and this is wood burning fat lace so again we can see these are the the
elements of the old home they've painted The Brick white very clever they've painted The Mantel piece
on the fireplace with the black you've got the very very light gray shades on the basically the
around the fireplace as well as the shelving so very modern and with the abundance of plants and
Christmas decoration it is just a very special space very welcoming indeed for the holidays
I'm not going to open but I just want to point out that there is a wine cellar here it's quite a big
room use it as a wine cellar use it as a games room Cigar Lounge if this thing is still done
or even a TV room but you have it but it is quite full at the moment with the boxes from the massive
amounts of Christmas decorations so this is the lounge area right next to The Wine Cellar makes
perfect sense and immediately across we're now stepping into living space number three for for
this whole interlinked open spaces and they've set it up as a pool room again white and black look
at those colors white and black with the pool and white and black chick on the flooring as well the
tiles so again very very clever design it's so modern and it's so fresh with so much white but
at the same time it's not It's Not Over the Top exposed ceiling beams they've painted everything
white again and it's just transformed this entire classical looking house being family animal lovers
you can see there's also rooms for the animals but we won't dwell on those and you also have
a store room right here lots of storage in this house there's a sink as well so imagine if this
would be your bride room you can also if you're not into playing pool you can also have this as
a dining room next to the braai right next to it and then stepping into the last room in this
big open space this is another Lounge area I would call it the Garden Room because obviously
it leads straight out into the garden with those those stacked open and we're gonna step out into
the garden shortly after we finish the house but it is private it is beautiful it is absolutely
in perfect condition very well looked after and very low maintenance too super important
what I also Imagine with restoring the the old house into its Glory or bringing more
glory to the house they've opened up these walls on both sides and they've
done it in such a clever way because it's made this whole Space open but it
still kind of gives divisions of each room so very very well done
what we've got also on the ground floor is a study and the fourth bedroom so let's have
a look quickly this is a full bathroom and IT services the fourth bedroom the guest bedroom here
travertine tiling so they've just restored it and they left it obviously it's Timeless travertine so
really beautiful and very classy material to you to use beautiful big fourth bedroom and views of
the entire Garden basically you have two windows and a door that leads out into the garden as well
so very nice and this is the king size bed so very spacious room
then and what's quite nice is you can close this door and it becomes a full ensuite guest Suite
then just across from the corridor the guest toilet here and again very nice and generous
in size and we're stepping now into the study the study has a door out into the garden so I would
have it open throughout summer time so beautiful to look at this magnificent evergreen tree
and again what they've done here is they've used the older elements with the wall cladding here the
the panels with the Grays and the whites fresh modern look and plenty of boating cabets here
now heading up the store you literally just slide it again the wrought iron so it's pretty
to look at and add security if you need it there's a big store room under the staircase
tiled flooring and this the colors the Shades of Gray with the white um coatings and just the
touch of black just highlighting your balustrates and you know the the top of the stairs basically
so coming up immediately to the right bedroom number one we've got three bedrooms upstairs
this bedroom has its own balcony very cute currently set up as a ghost room stunning
chandelier very light and fun really big bed plenty of cupboard space so really fun very
welcoming room with again the view of the garden when you go out through the balcony I love the
Unicorn theme maybe it should stay whoever buys it then we've got literally the mirror image of
the downstairs bathroom it's replicated upstairs so again full bathroom with um the travertine
and marble freestanding bath and a shower and that bathroom Services the bedroom we've just
seen plus the bedroom we're stepping into now this bedroom has a walk-in closet and then another very
generous room with a space for a king-size bed again we have an air con and windows on all sides
with access to that balcony again so each bedroom has a balcony looking out into that big Garden
and then we walk down a very much runway Style
Corridor leading to the main bedroom plenty more packing space and the linen cupboard and then as
you're walking down I invite you to look at this double volume living room and dining room space
it's again it's very dramatic and very beautiful from upstairs and they've done
the same here with the balance trades this is wood so they've painted it white and black
just a touch of touches of black and as we up here you can also see the top of the chandelier and the
entrance hall everything flows every single room talks to each other so the last room at the end of
this Runway is the main bedroom and the stunning big room plenty of windows again overlooking the
garden as well as a walk-in closet and a full bathroom with an outdoor shower which is great but
first we're right now we're in the bedroom aircon above us as well and uh fireplace so Cooling in
with in summer heating up in Winter and just keeping the ambience going which is very important
for a bedroom and then stepping through into there's a little dressing room set up there with
um another window looking out and then the walk-in closet and the bathroom itself
very nicely again renovated they've kept the marble in the bathroom as well as they've
kept that bath that's a very big and uh inviting buff with a stunning chandelier
just about it that's what I was looking for and the shower is quite a big shower
cabin on its own so you can turn it into a steam shower which is always uh lately
it seems to be one of the features everyone's looking for steam showers and soreness right
how has your sauna experience being in South Africa how many have you seen in houses love it
so should we head down towards the garden yes please and have a look at the downstairs four
entertainment areas which is pretty much one big entertainment area but I like the division
in between so can you see as we're walking down the corridor what we're looking at is
the tree and I don't know if you've noticed but there's a lot of plants throughout this house and
I always look for that because if the plants are thriving it means the house gets a lot of
natural light and you know it gets enough grease and the right air to nurture the plant growth
and they've even shaped some of the plants into shapes of Christmas trees very cute
again nice and dramatic looking down the corridor leading into the kitchen space and another look
at these rooms they're absolutely my favorite in the whole house especially sitting at this dining
room next to the fireplace the high ceiling above us and the view of the garden absolutely stunning
and let's step out and have a look at this Garden
this is over 2 000 square meters Garden
super long swimming pool whoever buys this house has to swim links yeah because why have a swimming
pool like this if you're not going to train for an Olympic competition or some form I'm I'm guessing
about 15 meters we can always measure it and standing here towards the end of the garden first
thing you notice is those massive trees very well established having trees like this is absolutely
Priceless because this takes 20 years to get to this level but the second thing we notice is we
have a humongous trampoline and there's still plenty of space because so many Gardens I see
if you put a trampoline that's it Garden finished the other thing I noticed is it's Immaculate so
it is uh very well manicured and very established so literally I think you cut the grass you trim
the shrubs and you sort it and of course what do we notice is the the house it's gorgeous
again those Grays with the black around the windows what else do we see
nice open space there we go all the entertainment areas open up flow like you said into the garden
you can imagine the parties you're having here I mean I mean they brought the drama with the
chandeliers through here as well you can see them through the space very fair that's a 10
seater over there you don't even see it so imagine the size of this thing guys guys what do you think
it's a little different not in the state it's a standalone home in the heart of bronston in
sandton any questions you have make sure to reach out Mauritius details are below I hope you enjoyed
the tour as much as we did giving it because like marushi said it's it's something else for
us instead of the estate homes um anyway have an awesome awesome afternoon and thank you so much
