About this property
This substantial facebrick family home in Lotus River, Cape Town, offers approximately 468 m² of internal floor space and is ideally suited to the entertainer's lifestyle. The generous open-plan living area is anchored by a striking exposed-brick corner fireplace in the lounge, and flows seamlessly into a formal dining room — both spaces finished with warm, polished hardwood floors and defined by characterful white-painted structural columns. Wide sliding glass doors open directly onto a covered brick-paved patio and swimming pool surround, creating an effortless indoor–outdoor connection clearly visible from multiple living spaces.
A wide, welcoming entrance hall finished with cream ceramic floor tiles sets the tone from the moment you step through the solid timber-panelled front door — complete with a decorative bronze knocker and a security burglar-bar gate. A carved wooden sideboard with mirror and a gallery of framed artwork lining the hallway walls add warmth and character on arrival.
The main bedroom enjoys private sliding-door access to the pool area and is served by an ensuite bathroom fitted with shower, basin and toilet. Bedrooms 2 and 3 also feature sliding doors leading outside, and Bedroom 2 includes fitted built-in cupboards. A family bathroom with bath, basin and toilet serves the secondary bedrooms.
The well-equipped kitchen provides built-in cupboards, a double sink, oven, hob and extractor fan. A drive-through garage accommodates up to three vehicles. Additional features include a security alarm system, DSTV satellite dish and PVC windows throughout.
Gemsbok Park is virtually on the doorstep, Ferndale Park (±258 m) and Stanley Park (±402 m) provide further green space within easy reach, and two primary schools — Buck Road Primary (±388 m) and Perivale Primary (±396 m) — are a short stroll away. The Terminus Centre shopping mall is just ±533 m from the property, with Noor-med Pharmacy (±338 m) and an Engen service station (±370 m) adding everyday convenience. Strandfontein Road provides swift access to the broader Cape Town metro.
