Security, luxury living in Constantia Upper, exclusive Warbler’s Grove Estate home at R19.9m tick
Homes located in security estates in the Constantia and Tokai areas now rank amongst the most sought-after properties in the southern suburbs with buyers prepared to pay well into the upper millions. According to Seeff’s Constantia Upper team, Liza Snijman, Priscilla Young , Marie Durr and Janine Stevenson, the demand is in fact rising for such homes, but there are only a few estates in the area. One such, is Warbler’s Grove Estate, situated in the heart of Constantia and popular for its exceptional homes, say the agents. There are only eight bespoke homes in the estate and these boast top class architectural design, exceptional finishes and living spaces and of course excellent security, so prized by upper income buyers. Only one home is currently marketed here exclusively by the agents who note that its price of just R19.9m represents exceptional value for the area. The architectural style is a modern take on the plantation-styled homes so popular on many tropical islands. The beautiful garden further enhances the tropical ambience and comes complete with irrigation and water features and offers a wonderful escape to the outdoors. Like most South African homes, it is designed to enjoy the fabulous weather with a large enclosed terrace with a lounge and dining area, an indoor braai and stacking doors that open to a wooden deck around the heated swimming pool. The property enjoys magnificent mountain and forest views, another sought-after feature of Constantia. The double storey house is exceptionally spacious with double volume rooms that lead from a large entrance hall. These include a multitude of living rooms on the lower level, all open-plan, but with the option to close. In addition to a lounge/family room and dining room, there is also a cinema room, study and a large contemporary kitchen, finished in the latest custom styled Euro-design with top end appliances and a fully fitted scullery. There are five bedrooms including a guest suite with a private patio on the lower level. The remaining four bedrooms are on the upper level and include a luxurious main suite with a Hollywood-styled dressing room and bathroom that opens to a private balcony. The bespoke finishes include wood engineered and large porcelain tile flooring, chandeliers, customised cabinetry and more. Other features include upmarket staff accommodation, three garages and sophisticated security. The home is especially suited to those looking for an exclusive Constantia Upper lifestyle that offers secure living and close proximity to the excellent facilities in the area, including private schools, say the agents. Constantia ranks as one of the most exclusive suburbs of Cape Town. Besides the beautiful vineyard and mountain setting, it also boasts the upmarket Constantia Village shopping centre with one-stop shopping and good restaurants. Its status as a wine valley and access to top end wine estates, 5 star eateries and a number of scenic greenbelt trails enjoyed by hikers, casual walkers, joggers and horse riders, also add to the allure of the suburb.
