This luxurious architect-designed home is located in one of the most prestigious addresses on embassy row in Waterkloof Ridge, within the Waterkloof Safe area. It has a borehole connected to the house via a filtration system and NO LOADSHEDDING!

Completed in 2000, this was the personal home of architect Joahn Laubscher, and was featured in the May/ June 2000 issue of Habitat magazine. The timeless design of this home has done well over the past 24 years, and it is still modern and up-to-date, offering an uncompromised lifestyle. The high ceilings and double volume allow light to pour into this home, giving an element of space and proportion.

Unusually, almost all the rooms in this home offer easy access, or direct access, onto the garden and large rim-flow swimming pool. The lounge, family room and entertainment areas have direct access to the pool. The main en-suite bedroom with stack doors offers one of the best views from the Ridge over the old east of Pretoria and beyond.

This home boasts four large bedrooms (two en-suite with walk-in closets), a study (or fifth bedroom), full guest bathroom, guest toilet, cinema room with bathroom and shower, lounge, family room, outdoor and undercover dining/ braai area, open plan kitchen, separate scullery, laundry room, walk-in linen closet, servant’s quarters, three store rooms, double garage and double car port. The kitchen boasts a full collection of Miele electric and gas appliances, as well as solid granite tops to compliment the Namibian marble tiles, which are no longer available.
Further luxuries include remote controlled and motorized curtain tracks imported from The Netherlands, and a remote controlled and motorized awning outside the family room.

The home also features a unique entrance hall and art gallery, and many art works on display within and outside the house by renowned steel artist, Marc Swart.

The garden is well established with big trees on either side of the property, offering total privacy from neighbours. The reliable borehole (600l/hour) with a big catch tank, irrigates the garden.
