Touring a R14,999,000 CONTEMPORARY FAMILY HOME in Waterfall Country Estate
Looking for a contemporary family home in Waterfall Country Estate? Good afternoon, this is Xavier with Luxury Homes Johannesburg. With me is Marussia from LuxLiv Property Group who's going to take us on a tour of this gorgeous home -- as always, specs on the house: this is a 5 bedroom, 6-bathroom, 4-garage home and guys you're gonna love this! Thank you very much - well I certainly love this house and it takes all my boxes and I dare say it will probably take most people's boxes from the four garages we're going to have a look at this garages shortly the house was recently built it is furnished but it's been unlifted so it is a brand new house for all the purposes of whoever wants to move into this house and it was built by an engineer with engineering Precision for Quality beautiful lines Symmetry and everything else so without further Ado let's go in before the storm gets us so we're entering this house and I'm quickly closing the door because literally the storm is starting but just a quick note they have built it with a view that maybe it will be rented maybe it will be sold so you have camera systems throughout the space and you even have a camera at the entrance so from your phone it's a smart house from your phone you can see who's standing at the door and you can decide to open for them or not we went through the first entrance hall and now we are into a formal Lounge seating area as you step a couple of steps further you see this massive double volume space very much open plan but each room with its own purpose and designation beautiful Windows they've used every opportunity to put a window so you can invite the natural life as well as the beautifully landscaped garden and then we step through a second lounge area so first we had the entrance hall then we had the formal lounge space now we are into the TV room or another Lounge area and then you immediately see this gas fireplace it's nice and Central again and very cleverly designed that it's under the suspended ceiling so it will warm up the space the heat will stay into this living space that we're in so again a show of the engineering spirits that built that house from the lounge into the kitchen and this is a nice breakfast nook there's in fact six chairs around so you can even have guests around oh no five chairs my counting Is Not Great loads of cabbage space and again the reminder it's a brand new house so everything is pristine everything is in perfect condition and pretty much unused massive scissor Stone countertop it's a shade of gray but with a stone effect and then all your Cabinetry is super matte so very nice soft and velvety to the touch and also in a I would say off-gray beige feeling gas stove there's also a built-in microwave there's also a built-in coffee machine which is a must and a really beautiful Splash back here it's again the stone effect it's picking up on the Grays the beiges of the house Impressions so far I really like it this is one flow from where we walked in straight into the lounge areas open space high volume love it very very nice and of course it's a modern house but they've done some touches I mean you've got a touch of a farm style sink here and we also have Basin further down towards the scallery section they've also Incorporated a separate calorie and a separate laundry room all of which lead you out onto a Courtyard at the back and I think here it's worthwhile seeing because really as far as I'm walking we have cupboards and I'm one of those people I love catering I love friends I love kitchen gadgets so I can see all my gadgets having a home somewhere here and then a massive Courtyard outside interesting door setup what happened here well this is if you want to Locks it and family members away they can just come and talk to you through the door I was thinking of a dog outside but yes okay how can I so if you have a doggy wanna lock them in the courtyard you sort it and the house comes with blinds everywhere or not everywhere but the certain windows that if necessary and I think it's worthwhile pointing out walk-in Pantry because if you don't have enough cupboards if you feel that way there is a walk-in Pantry as well so plenty of cupboard space whilst I'm walking also we have underfloor heating which is water-based underfloor heating so this is the lowest power consumption underflow heating that you can get it's super efficient it's um also very affordable in comparison with other underflow Heating and it's in the key rooms that you need to be warmed up you also have air conditioning throughout if you would just look above you there is ducted air conditioning in the ground floor and in the bedrooms we're going to see more air conditioning as well and while I'm walking we've now entered a dining room or this would be the cocktail mixing Lounge area I don't want to say cigar lounge because it's no longer in Vogue to smell to smoke cigars maybe it's the Vape Lounge still be a cognac area a cognac area well you can say that I'm not tasting I'll just say the clip drift and nutritional and Coke area and from there out onto what they've done here is this would have been traditionally your patio area but they've created an indoor patio that has doors completely opening on both sides and it creates this massive dining room with your braai area but it can also be closed off and become part of your house so massive space again I'm just seeing parties here I'm seeing family and friends sitting around and enjoying and then when it gets too hot inside stepping out onto this uh stunning I mean this is a great one above us oh Fresco dining oh Fresco dining there we go natural shade right above us possibly some you know grapes coming down at some point this is a relatively new garden and yeah you just enjoy nature you enjoy where you are and you look at your manicured Garden what is really great is the garden is very low maintenance we've got the lemon tree that apparently is great luck so you have to have a lemon tree and this one is thriving we also have a lot of succulents here so this is low maintenance garden and quite easy to keep looking amazing and green some wild olive trees here going on and going through you can see of course a Boma area I thought you're gonna go in and have a seat not yet not yet I'm gonna test it out now but this is nice fire pit palmer but it's a massive massive Garden like with so many of the Estates you find the way the house is situated in the takes away from your garden space where is here whilst we were outside we had a lot of space outside for parking we have this massive Garden for your big dog that you're going to be locking in the courtyard when they're misbehaving and you still have your space for a huge Boma there's quite a generous sitting going on here and then your swimming pool 10 of your friends Father of Mine I would say 15 of my friends they're all very petite slender wonders because this is a massive bomb very nice I love the size of the pool as well Marisha we've mentioned it before I think it's a love-hate relationship with pools what am I going to do with this or it's oh I love it this is just enough to cool down on these hot days and in fact I would say a few Strokes not too many and not too fast but you can definitely do some and stepping back in and I think you got the idea of the flow as well because we could step out from pretty much every room in our living space and we are no facing so the entirety of this house is no facing which is really great so let's step back in and I want to actually show you the garage as the style because often this question gets asked what the garages look like and these garages is something to be proud of so there we go we have four garages so this is the larger of the two the other double garage it's a standard size this garage is a double garage extra length with extra storage on both sides here as well as extra width so your vehicles your bicycles and you now pointing out also we have an inverted system we have um a few solar panels and a battery so we don't have to worry about load shading here so this is garage number one for two vehicles and a quick look there is a door next to the main entrance door and that door leads you to uh pretty much self-contained apartment upstairs that we're going to see shortly interesting always nice to have separate access we are walking on tiles so the entire floor here is tiles but would look effect so it gives you a nice textured effect it gives you some interest in the color and it picks up from the Grays and the beiges throughout the house and now I'm stepping into the office space it literally is about to start storming so we're closing doors but all of this can be completely open out towards the Living Spaces it also has a separate entrance and you have a little Courtyard here as well they've already started the Landscaping they've built cupboard space they've built storage space here and if you go around you see a door leading to the next garage if there's anything that someone watching this can observe its storage space cupboard space storage space I mean look at this one two three chairs I'm in a desk you can work from home the kids can be here wife can work here and not only that but speaking to the engineer who built this he also made sure that there was no cabling lying around and this you can only see in the house of a perfectionist they have done it above the discs I'm so used to seeing those discs with holes in them and we're all going underneath to try and plug in our laptops these people have thought of everything and this is now the other garage and the game it's another double garage and guess what more storage they've Incorporated the space under the stairs and they've made a little spot there for your paints and so on very very nice you also have a central vacuum forgot to mention in another store room under the staircase so storage is the name of the game here but I don't want to take away from the fact that this is an exceptional quality exceptional finished house with really nice modern beautiful striking lines and a lot of space to display your artwork which I really like because you have all these walls exposed walls nicely lit by all the windows that we've got so imagine the artwork that will go on there bedrooms we're not finished with the ground floor yet yes I was about to say so bedroom number five is here so just around the corner just behind the cognac space so your guests can have very easy and discrete access to the bar area beautiful this is a guest room my goodness yes and you can see this is a queen size bed it has even a space for a disc sliding doors leading to the Alfresco dining space and to your garden ensuite bathroom and super high ceilings so you get this feeling of volume with the room great bathroom here with a freestanding bath it really is done up and throughout the house you see the rest of the bathrooms as well everything is done with the same attention to detail and quality all your mirrors are backlit we've got the same towel going throughout the bathrooms and we have of course cupboard space here and now we're out and leading towards the upstairs section Just One Last Stop on the ground floor and then we're gonna head for the stairs so what I didn't mention is we also have Central Central Vacuum so over and above the other features that we mentioned there is a central vacuum system so very easy to clean the house but you can also see it's uh it's easy maintenance I think it's uh it's gonna be well I wouldn't say easy because it is a big house just under 700 square meters but it is pristine I think floors like this throughout on the ground level helps a lot it's just absolutely good thing guys there's something uh you can see yourself live it a quick look here I think this was what what you just heard is the alarm system telling you the front door's been opened so it speaks to the smartness of the house it noticed that we're opening the door welcome okay so that was the guest toilet and now we're heading up the same tiling used quite a solid very nice and wide staircase with a glass values trading and a touch of Steel so super solid as well and very well lit because we have this massive window giving us the natural sunlight from the one side and another window which is frosted for privacy on the other side and this I think is a Runway Style walkway leading towards the main bedroom guess what this doll leads to storage there we go linen closet very nice look at the view down here like a mezzanine type of setup very nice cool High ceilings again we are upstairs now note the ceilings note the shadow lines and everything is in the same soft colors that we saw downstairs we're walking into the main bedroom the room the sides here that that would be the walking safe so imagine the riches you can hide into the size room make up the prices that they are today oh I would probably maybe put something in front of it you know so we can't see that the richest accident there but you have a massive safe and we all need that these days we have music throughout so there is a sound system built throughout the space we headed downstairs I'm pointing it out here as well I love the fact that they have the recessed ceilings so that conceals the curtains and they literally just float almost as if from nowhere like clouds we see that more often don't we just actually the recess it's a small touch yet yeah you both know that it's not a one two three to build but you get the bulkheads and actually have the accents of the detailed work to have that done because it's such a nice look when you're coming to the place you don't see anything hanging you don't beautiful none of the hooks that we forgot to put on yes it is really again quality attention to detail and access from here to a massive balcony looking out onto the big Garden and then just around the corner a stunning super generous closet there is also a window here I absolutely love dressing rooms that have a window because the natural light for me just makes all the difference floor to ceiling I can't even touch these things I mean this is and everything is immaculate everything is done all the lines are straight it's really very well completed this project freestanding bath a big rain shower double basins of course and a massive mirror that's a selfie mirror not today the selfie mirrors are also becoming a thing these days so I wonder where it came from The Keeping Up with Kardashians sure all right so we've seen one bedroom downstairs we've seen the main bedroom now we're heading to see three more I mean just look at the the width of the walkway that leads you to the opposite end of the house I like the fact that the bedroom is private on the other side okay immediately to my left is one of the bathrooms this bathroom Services the third bedroom we are about to see so each bedroom has its own bathroom again beautifully done all the bathrooms they've made sure they have Windows they have natural air coming through and now we're stepping into the third bedroom which is big enough for queen size bed or in this case they've done two single bits and you'll notice we've also stepped onto a wooden floor so the floor has changed in the bedrooms to Wood nicer softer for walking barefoot in the mornings and just a more inviting look when it comes to bedrooms new dimension more storage importance here some more windows here so even with the passage we get the natural light and now we are stepping into the separate apartment so this house has five bedrooms two of which have been built in such a way that they can be used as one full-blown apartment with its own entrance if you remember I mentioned earlier on the door right next to the main entrance on the outside so this can be completely independent whether we're talking rental or whatever or each of these bedrooms can be an individual studio apartment so stepping into bedroom number one the again nice and generous in proportions small kitchenette here with a fridge area uh cupboard space in the desk area space for a big queen size bed and um couch so really a studio ensuite of course just around the corner you've got the bathroom so if this door is closed this is its own apartment we have the same wooden floor that we saw in the other bedroom as well very welcoming I don't want to say the word but if someone wants to rent this to a student or take your relative away here with their own KitchenAid so every now and then they have to cook their own food why not you're a teenager in a few years a teenager will never cook their own food what am I saying so a little sitting area here so I mean currently they've put a cocktail table here but you can easily put a lounge and then stepping into the second one they're really identical just a slightly different layout we have the space for the lounge area again queen size bed and again its own bathroom so spacious Russia this is nice as a teenager I would love to have the spot absolutely and yeah I mean we under just under 700 square meters so this is a large house but it doesn't feel unbearably large it's not a unmanageable size house especially because the layout that they have designed here allows for certain rooms so for instance for this apartment to be closed off completely and just gives the main space just enough size to be very manageable and welcoming and now heading down towards the garden again because it's just so beautiful it's worthwhile having a look enjoy these Open Spaces it is so nice coming down from the bedrooms and this is where you're at come on how welcome is this and when you step outside just outside of the pool area in the Boma area you really get a feel for how stunning the house design is and you can even see some of your solar panels isn't it amazing that we put so much value these days on having the ability to have our lights on all the time or convenience than anything else no guys what are your thoughts talk about entertaining or enjoying big family gatherings just like moonusha said numerous times big parties here I love that little setup on that side with guest bedroom which looks huge and luckily you have the kitchen storage for your Gatherings for all the catering equipment it truly is guys as always details are
