Dual Mandate
Situated on the northern side of Knysna Heights, you will find this gem of a property. Positioned in a quiet cul-de-sac and masterfully built, taking advantage of the stand’s contours and northern aspect, this three-bedroom home offers so much.
The main dwelling consists of two bedrooms en suite, with the master having a fully appointed bathroom with both shower and bath and his and hers basins. There are built-in cupboards in both of these bedrooms with ample packing space. Both bedrooms lead onto the balcony and enjoy the most magnificent views across the valleys and hills towards the Outeniqua Mountains in the northwest and over parts of Simola.
The living areas on the lower floor consist of a semi-open-plan kitchen, dining room, and lounge. The kitchen has an eye-level oven, a separate electric stove, and a two-plate gas burner as backup. The scullery leads off the kitchen and has space for a dishwasher, tumble dryer, and washing machine.
The lounge has a built-in fireplace for those cold winter nights, and there is a cellar/storage area below the staircase. The lounge/dining area leads out onto a split-level patio, which is great for entertaining on those lazy summer days; throw in a splash pool in the garden to complete the picture. Below the house are two storage areas, one of which is used as a garden shed and the second as a store room. The garden is served by two 5,000-litre water tanks and a gravity-feed irrigation system.
Semi-detached from the main abode is the double-and-a-half garage with an open-plan apartment, including an en suite shower, toilet, and wash hand basin above the garage. The garage has a real man cave workshop for those who like to tinker.
The owner is a keen gardener, and this is seen in the fully organic garden they have created with its own worm farm. There is income potential in the apartment above the garage or the house. One could opt to stay in either and rent out the other.
This home has so many well-thought-out and cleverly laid-out options; it is an absolute must-see, so book a private viewing with me as this one is going to go fast.
