Athlone - spectacular family home for the extended family
It is not often that a home of this magnitude, elegance and condition comes on to the market in Pietermaritzburg. Situated in Athlone with panoramic views over the city and beyond it is the ultimate for socialising and entertaining. It has been lovingly and tastefully maintained in the 17 years that the current owners have lived there
Comprising 3 separate buildings, the first has served as a conservatory and has a kitchen area, pub and an extensive lounge area which leads to a deck with jazucci, overlooking the crystal clear pool. On the lower level there is a gym which has a sauna as well as a steam room and gym equipment
The second building comprises 3 bedrooms or 2 and a study with open plan lounge and dining room. The balau deck provides an extra space for relaxing on those sultry summer evenings and also has spectacular views over the city
And then on to the main dwelling. Such a pleasure to arrive at the property, with a bubbling water feature to greet you in a generous paved entrance with garaging for 3 cars plus extensive carports and plenty of extra parking available for guests, which leads to the entrance hall allowing one to appreciate the opulence of the many sparkling chandeliers decorating the home throughout. The open plan lounge and kitchen with a central island boasting a Rhodesian teak countertop has a Smeg 5 plate gas stove. A scullery leads off it and then on to a separate laundry. Ten areas in the main house have underfloor heating for your comfort during the cold winter months. The lounge shares the view over the city and has stack doors to an undercover patio also overlooking the pool.
The next surprise is the banquet sized dining room with an 14 seater dining room table, truly mind blowing. This leads to a second patio for intimate alfresco dining and overlooks a pond stocked with tilapia fish. It is prudent at this stage to view the beautiful garden steel arches placed strategically to take in the formal garden.
A guest en-suite bedroom is found off the lounge area also taking in the view. A Rhodesian teak staircase leads to the upstairs portion with Rhodesian Teak flooring, magnificent to behold! Two en suite bedrooms share the space with a more than generous study. They lead to a second lounge which once again shares city views. Last but certainly not least the ballroom-sized main bedroom and dressing room is seriously to die for and leads to a sizeable en-suite bathroom with an intriguing laundry shute situated in the bathroom cupboard to drop soiled clothes into which land in the washing machine below, quite a feature!
Add to this extensive solar panelling and 3 X 10kw inverters, a 30kva3 phase generator
Do give us a call to view this distinguished, cherished home
