Welcome to One of Joburg's Most Loved Family Homes

Some homes feel impressive. Others feel like home from the moment you arrive. This is one of those rare homes that manages to be both.

Positioned behind a beautiful brick archway on one of Westcliff’s most established streets, this remarkable family estate offers nearly an acre of private garden living in the heart of Johannesburg. Complete with a tennis court, guard hut, expansive lawns, and mature trees, it’s a property designed for both everyday family life and unforgettable entertaining.

Inside, the home blends warmth, character, and timeless style. A striking black entrance hall, elegant chandelier lighting, African artwork, and classic shutters create an immediate sense of charm and sophistication.

At the heart of the home is the cottage-style kitchen, a true gathering space.
Featuring marble countertops, glass-fronted cabinetry, a statement red pendant light, and a large farmhouse table at its centre, it’s the kind of kitchen where conversations naturally continue long after dinner.

The home offers a variety of living spaces to suit every stage of family life.
A relaxed family lounge includes built-in desk space for children, while a cosy winter lounge or study provides a quieter retreat.
On the opposite side of the home, a wood-panelled entertainment room with its own fireplace, bar counter, and bay window overlooking the autumn trees creates the perfect setting for adult entertaining or a teenage games room. A guest bathroom and beautiful tree-lined study complete the downstairs level.

Running the full width of the home, the covered veranda is truly one of its standout features. With space for a large teak dining table and relaxed seating, it overlooks the garden, pool, and surrounding trees, creating an atmosphere that feels both expansive and deeply private.

Beyond the rolling lawns lies a floodlit full-size tennis court, a sunken trampoline, and endless space for children to explore, play, and grow.

Upstairs, the home continues its sense of warmth and understated luxury.

The main suite is particularly special. With double-glazed windows, a fireplace framed by marble surrounds and classic shiplap panelling, it feels less like a bedroom and more like a private five-star hotel suite. French doors open onto a balcony overlooking the gardens and treetops, while a wingback chair beside the fireplace creates the perfect place for slow mornings or peaceful evenings.
The spacious master ensuite completes the retreat-like feel of the space.

The remaining bedrooms are all generously proportioned, filled with natural light, and fitted with shutters, each with its own unique character and beautiful outlook onto the greenery or balconies beyond.

Security is both discreet and comprehensive, with a private on-site guard hut, secure boom access to the neighbourhood, and the reassurance of living in one of Johannesburg’s most established and protected family enclaves.

For families, the location is exceptional. St Katherine’s Preparatory School is just a short four-minute walk away, while The Ridge School is even closer. Four Seasons Hotel The Westcliff sits practically on your doorstep, bringing one of the city’s most iconic hotels into your everyday surroundings.

This is not simply a house you rent because it meets a checklist. It’s a home you walk into, settle onto the veranda, look out across the garden, and instantly know you never want to leave.
