Location

Durbanville, previously called Pampoenkraal, is a town in the Western Cape province of South Africa, part of the greater Cape Town metropolitan area. It is a semi-rural residential suburb on the north-eastern outskirts of the metropolis surrounded by farms producing wine and wheat.
Durbanville has developed and grown rapidly during the past years into one of the most sought-after northern suburbs of Cape Town. Although gated communities such as Pinehurst Garden City, Graanendal and Clara Anna Fontein are on the rise, the town still retains its small-town atmosphere, given that it is still mostly surrounded by farmland.

Stacking doors allow natural light to flood the spaces while offering easy access to the outdoor haven. The exquisite meranti wood doors and high-quality finishes throughout add an air of sophistication and warmth.

As you gather around the dining table, a stunning Asian chandelier casts a soft glow over exquisite meals, complemented by a beautiful Mexican lamp that leads your gaze up the staircase. Each piece within this home has been meticulously curated from around the globe, infusing character and charm into every corner while maintaining a modern sensibility.

Venturing upstairs reveals three main bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, a perfect retreat for family or guests. The imported European wooden floors on wooden beams emit a soft creak underfoot, adding to the home's warmth and inviting atmosphere.

This property is not just a house, it's a sanctuary where history meets contemporary living - a place where every detail has been considered to create an inviting space for you to call home.
