R10,200,000 | 4 Bedroom House For Sale in Parkwood

“I have walked through many homes in my career. Very few make me stop mid-sentence. This is one of them.” – Ronald Ennik

You arrive through a herringbone-paved 4 garage courtyard. At the far end, up high, a sharp triangular gable hints at surprises to come. You haven’t opened the front door, and the house has already told you it is different.

Then it opens up. A gallery passage, washed in burnt terracotta, runs beside floor-to-ceiling glazing with the pool and the jacarandas beyond. Art is displayed as it should be, with room to breathe and command attention.

Step into the lounge and catch your breath. A cathedral ceiling rises to the apex, and triangular windows frame the purple canopy outside. A burnt-orange wall climbs the full height of the room, anchored by a sleek, see-through fireplace that warms the lounge and dining room at once. The dining room sits beneath the same soaring volume, with a sculptural rope chandelier, brass wall lights and doors opening in every direction. It is a room built for a gallery-quality art collection and for long, unhurried evenings.

The kitchen is warm and beautifully resolved. Oak-toned cabinetry runs the full length of the room, with eye-level black ovens, a long island with bar seating and crisp white counters. A fluted-glass display cabinet glows from within, and skylights pour in natural light. It flows into a relaxed family lounge with a slatted feature wall, and from there folding steel-framed glass doors open entirely onto the pool terrace.

Outside, a laser-cut metal canopy casts dappled shadows across the covered patio, with its outdoor counter and dining area. Terrazzo paving leads to a mosaic-tiled pool and manicured lawn. Indoors and outdoors become one space.

The bedroom wing is quiet and private. The main suite is generous and light-filled, with its own doors to the garden and 2 walk-in dressing rooms fitted with warm timber cabinetry and lit by a skylight. The en-suite is all large-format marble-look stone, with a walk-in rain shower and bench, and a freestanding bath. Additional bedrooms have built-in cupboards, and the bathrooms are finished in rich terrazzo-style stone. Steel-framed windows line the passages and look onto two internal courtyards, one with sculpted gazelles and white roses. Even the guest cloakroom is a statement, wrapped in botanical wallpaper with a backlit mirror.

“A home like this does not come to market often. In Parkwood, it has never come at all.”
