The south face features two grand patios on the basement and ground floor levels, running across the length and breadth of the home, overlooking terraced gardens with lush vegetation and tennis court.

While designed in the beautiful style of a classic Cape Dutch manor, the structure was built in 1991, with the upstairs bedroom component remodelled in 2017. Solid wood is featured throughout the home in the doors, windows, shutters, ceilings, beams and shelving.
