Excellent location, design, layout and space, real value for money with endless opportunities!

This property is located on a large 2,335sqm corner plot in the heart of "Old" Darling, within easy walking distance to main town center. Less than thirty minutes' drive takes you to either Yzerfontein, shops in Malmesbury and various wine farms. Add twenty minutes and you are in Durbanville!

An industrial and minimalist home design style and philosophy embraces exposed architectural elements like pipes, steel electrical ducting, brick, corrugated sheeting, concrete and natural light. Open floor plan, and a cool, neutral color palette, utilizing the spectrum of whites, greys, blacks, with a hint of natural browns.

The home is less than 6 years old with extreme low maintenance, due to the well-planned use of cement bricks (exterior and interior) giving high compressive strength, durability, fire resistance and low water absorption. Add to this black aluminum windows/ doors, concrete floors and seamless aluminum gutters.

The interior layout makes maximum use of floor space with subtle division of normally clearly defined areas. The hub of the house is unmistakably the extra-large fireplace, which doubles as indoor braai. With a black steel insert, framed by reused scaffold planks, it blends in with the overall design. A spacious seating and dining area divide the space between the fireplace and well fitted black and white kitchen that extend along the whole length of the wall. Large windows looking out across towards the imposing church building, supplying ample natural light. The kitchen is fitted with a large gas hob, eye level oven and ample storage space with a scullery tucked away behind a screen wall.

A large semi- open sleeping area with its own seating area and excellent exterior view can be found at the one end of house, fronted by a large corner area currently used as a study. By adding a simple wall section and barn door, the room can be made more private.

A corridor flanked on both sides with white build in wardrobes leads to the bathroom, which also reflects the industrial look due to the use of black fittings and corrugated sheets in the spacious shower. Warm water to both kitchen and bathroom is supplied via a gas water heater.

The main living space is extended via large aluminum sliding doors flanking the fireplace, out onto a large covered stoep with its magnificent view over town and hills - the ideal spot for al fresco dining and sundowners. The view cannot be obstructed by any future neighboring buildings. On the stoep you will find a second bedroom, currently used as a craft room.

The living space have direct access to a larger than standard double garage of over 40 sqm, with a higher-than-normal automated door opening space. Sufficient parking space for further two vehicles in front of garage, behind locked gates.

Beneath the stoep is an extra bonus of 4 x12sqm rooms. In addition to this an external "Wet room" consisting of toilet, basin and shower is situated next to the rooms, piped ...
