Driftwood

Description

The moment you step through the door of this triple story home in Cape Town, you feel as though you’ve walked onto a film set – the single-pivot contemporary door opens into a breath-taking, airy, open-plan living and dining area that extends onto a terrazzo deck with some of the best views in the city. With the tranquilising Atlantic Ocean in front and close-ups of the majestic Twelve Apostle Mountains behind, nature’s palate and its overriding sense of calm envelope the entire space, including the utility kitchen on the side with its glass-fronted Champagne fridge.

The spacious master suite is on the top floor of the property and the en-suite bathroom also opens up to the elements. The mezzanine floor is for the three guest bedrooms (two double, one single) and bathrooms. Descend through the centre of the house to a huge, airy double volume space downstairs which houses the main kitchen and dining area plus two chill-out areas, originally converted from a squash court, which gives the house a surprising wow-factor. The impressive, contemporary space mixes classic modern design pieces from B&B Italia, Castiglioni and Luminaire with a non-traditional and unexpected African slant. Cool terrazzo floors and walls combine with natural fabrics and weathered driftwood throughout, creating a clean, sleek look throughout.

Huge glass doors invisibly slide back to open the entire ocean-facing front of the property and provide an uninterrupted flow of inside and outside living. The outside area continues the terrazzo floor flow and at the lower levels leads onto the balau decking where open air living and dining takes place. With sea-facing chaise lounges, a huge Jacuzzi, rim flow pool, tree-shaded dining and slouching areas, there’s no reason to leave this perfect paradise.

The luxury is in the detail: the quality of light in the sea-facing living areas, abundant storage space and the prevailing sense of serenity and privacy. So whilst Driftwood is slick and sophisticated, it’s a home that is also robust enough to stand up to the antics of the most dedicated entertainers and party goers.

There is ample, secure parking for two to four cars in a closed garage and driveway at the front of the property.
