ELEGANT HOME WITH BREATHTAKING GARDENS

ALL SERIOUS OFFERS WILL BE CONSIDERED

This gracious heritage home, built in the early 1900's on a 2150 square meter stand, is the perfect home for a family who wants to escape the city into a haven of leafy tranquility, and yet be close to the excellent schools, universities and businesses in the area. From its earliest days the elegant Doveton House has been home to many prominent Johannesburg families, and more recently has served as a Boutique Guesthouse. The original home has been substantially modernized and beautifully upgraded in keeping with its historic past. Off grid additions such as a borehole with filtration and solar power running the entire home during the day makes this the complete home.

Glamorous reception rooms indulge a luxurious lifestyle with beautiful finishes, wonderfully restored and maintained original fittings, all opening onto a beautiful entertainment patio and infinity pool. A French country-style kitchen and cozy breakfast nook are spacious and sunny, and lead out into an adjoining scullery and separate laundry room.

From the large patio and outdoor entertainment areas, one walks down into a beautiful garden which belies the fact that one lives in a city. This property also boasts a wine cellar, gym, a state of the art screening and entertainment room.
