3 Bedroom House For Sale in Brackenridge Estate

Joint Mandate:

Welcome to a classic property in the sought-after Brackenridge Private Estate. With its timeless finishes and sprung wooden floors, this gracious property is one of a kind. The main house is set all on one level and is a wonderful peaceful sanctuary.

From the large double front door leading into a spacious entrance hall, one is pulled into the homely, comfortable feeling of a property well-loved and cared for.

To the left of the entrance hall is a corridor to the main bedroom, full bathroom, and dressing room, offering views over farmlands, rolling hills, and a dam in the distance. Windows and a sliding door let in the northern and western sun, along with the dappled light through the trees in the garden.

To the right of the front door is a spacious guest cloakroom.

Entering the main living area reveals a comfortable open-plan dining room/living room with a built-in fireplace and an alcove adding an interesting feature. The dining room boasts a bespoke built-in cabinet with interior lighting made from elm burr and mahogany wood. In the front area of the living area, an enclosed veranda with windows that open back completely gives one a feel of being outdoors. The built-in braai is discreetly hidden behind a beautiful picture. The sunsets overlooking the Roodefontein dam are truly beautiful to watch.

The kitchen, designed for entertaining, features a breakfast nook used to serve, neatly tucked away behind a wall where the sinks, washing machine, and dishwasher are located. There is also a large walk-in pantry. A reverse osmosis water purification system has a tap at the prep-bowl and is also pumped to the icemaker and fridge. A door outside leads to a walled-in courtyard for a washing line and outdoor sink. A staff toilet is hidden around the side, with a door leading from the scullery area directly into the extra-large double garage.

Large sliding doors just beyond the living room open out into a completely private courtyard area with a 12 x 2 m swimming pool, which is solar-heated and has mood lights cleverly positioned to create a fairyland at night.

The second bedroom, with limited underfloor heating, has doors opening out onto the swimming pool patio. There is a second full bathroom (all three bathrooms have heated towel rails and hand-held showers in the shower, as well as shower roses).

Currently serving as a family room and study, this space could be used as a fourth bedroom, with huge windows and a neat fireplace in the corner. A sound system is connected to the TV with speakers in the study, lounge, front patio, and swimming pool area. Another sound system in the main bedroom has speakers in the bedroom, dressing room, and main bathroom.

From within the double garage, a staircase leads up to a mezzanine bedroom with a small kitchenette and bathroom with a shower, which also functions as a steam generator. There is also a door from the swimming pool into the garage area.

Two 5000l water tanks are connected to an irrigation system hidden behind the house, with a system in place to pump rainwater through the house should the need arise. Two of the three geysers have solar panels, reducing electricity consumption. Additionally, two PV panels on the roof assist with charging the small inverter. A lever switch is available to change the mains to generator supply.

This home boasts many interesting features, including a water feature at the front door, a beautifully kept fish pond, a large storage area underneath the main bedroom accessible from the garden, and a secret vegetable garden to the side behind a gate. Well-maintained and loved, this property is truly very special.
