“LEFT on right,” the sat-nav said. Confused, I shouted back at it “Left or right?!” But of course it didn’t respond, it’s only a machine.
Then the penny dropped and there it was on the corner, a modern French-provincial styled designer home on Wright Street, Highgate.
It’s bookended by two heavily treed parks, and the pleasant courtyard garden overlooks both.
There’s something very cosmopolitan about this sweeping, three-bedroom home…
The green ambience is further enhanced by limestone-rendered walls and more trees, including a lemon—rather handy for entertaining friends over G&Ts.
There’s something very cosmopolitan about this sweeping, three-bedroom home, on the edge of the city.
Beautiful timber floors give a golden glow to white walls, and sweeping living spaces are made more so with deep bay-windows overlooking one of the parks.
The open-plan lounge/dining area has lovely French doors onto the courtyard, which is just the spot for alfresco dining on these temperate evenings.
Whipping up a feast for your guests will never be easier in this well-designed kitchen.
It’s all white on Wright, with white caesarstone bench tops and white cupboards, including a huge double pantry and appliance cupboard.
Head upstairs and you’ll find the bedrooms, all double, and one with a cute Juliet balcony overlooking the park.
The main is a commodious space, also overlooking the park, with a generous walk-in robe/dressing room.
Wander through a sweeping arched and columned doorway and you’ll find the spacious ensuite, with double vanities and a separate toilet.
A gargantuan space makes up a third level under the eaves.
It could be anything a new owner wanted, a fourth bedroom, a teenage pad, or massive games room.
And with double sets of windows set in the soaring cathedral ceiling it would make a great artist’s studio.
This is a great family home, with a choice of dog walking parks just across the road and schools nearby.
And when the mutt’s been fed and watered its owners can wander down to the lively Beaufort Street cafe strip and its many watering holes, cafes, restaurants and shops.
