Forest Glade Ristrutturato E Contemporaneo

A freshly renovated unit has finally come onto the market in this unique estate. No one has lived in the property since the renovation and the careful design, attention to detail and exceptionally high quality finishes used, make this modern, state-of-the-art home a rare find. Built in the 1970s, Forest Glade is a secure estate of five hamlets comprising 103 semi-detached homes which are thoughtfully positioned to create privacy and a sense of seclusion. Buying into this estate is buying into a lifestyle.

A perennial river meanders through the property, alongside a peaceful bird sanctuary framed by willow trees. Shady communal spaces, tables and benches invite residents to relax, while children’s play areas, jungle gyms and open green spaces make the estate particularly appealing to families. Renovating within the estate is a considerable undertaking due to the distinctive solid, cast-in-place concrete construction that was used.

To purchase a newly renovated home with all the hard work completed, makes this property especially appealing. Here you have a unit that has been gutted and transformed for modern living with generous proportions and an abundance of natural light. Cleverly designed, the open-plan dining room/kitchen, complemented by a separate scullery, a spacious sitting room with a brand-new closed combustion fireplace to warm the home through winter and a guest loo, are all upstairs. The dining room and sitting room open onto a large veranda providing beautiful, direct views of the mountains and the perfect spot from which to enjoy the scenery.

The three en-suite bedrooms and an additional sitting room are downstairs. Most of these rooms have double doors opening out onto the garden creating a natural indoor-outdoor flow. Having two separate sitting rooms provides space to which one can retreat, as well as flexibility for entertaining and family time. Smart-lighting integration throughout the home allows you to create different moods and atmospheres at the touch of a button. Air-conditioning in two bedrooms, together with fans throughout the remainder of the home, adds to year-round comfort. Adding exceptional value, the home is being sold with a selection of brand-new appliances which are included in the sale:

• 6kwa battery back-up system with solar panels
• Samsung dishwasher with LED display
• LG 9/5 kg front-loader washer-dryer
• Hisense 65-inch QLED Smart TV
• Close combustion fire place

The location places you within easy reach of some of Cape Town’s most desirable schools, including Reddam House, the American International School and Constantia Waldorf. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity of Tokai Forest and Silvermine Nature Reserve, with their scenic hiking and mountain-biking trails, as well as the surrounding greenbelts. The Constantia Valley’s celebrated wine estates — including Steenberg Golf Estate across the road, Constantia Uitsig, Buitenverwachting, Groot Constantia and Klein Constantia — are all within easy reach. Steenberg and Blue Route Shopping Centres are just minutes away, providing convenient access to everyday shopping and amenities.
