POA | 2 Bedroom House Sold in Greyton

SOLE MANDATE - A dream house by the river, this two bedroom property with a separate cottage impresses and inspires with its poised simplicity and harmonious dialogue with nature.
The exterior of the main house is elegantly enrobed in black with an interplay of natural wood and river stones. The interior is rendered in the warm, inviting aura of exposed brick and extensive woodwork with industrial components creating a unique multi-layered and well considered environment.

The ground level is laid out in an open plan with silver-grey, magnesium oxide flooring, taupe walls and splashes of burnt orange creating the perfect palette. The kitchen is tucked under the mezzanine and orientated towards a raised food garden and wildlife meadow, while the social area occupies center stage, with clear height and ample volume. The exposed flue of the Godin fireplace together with oversized beams and exposed plumbing gives a hint of industrial style. A magnificent indoor tree brings a touch of organic uniqueness to this home.

The spacious mezzanine bedroom induces a floating architectural vocabulary with views of the river gushing past in winter. In contrast, the ground floor bedroom is defined by its wooden boards, stained glass windows and exposed brick wall to create a cocoon of old world charisma. A Wamsler cast iron stove completes the picture. The bathroom is set in cool concrete and warm wood with exposed copper plumbing. The contemporary freestanding bath is outclassed only by the adjoining outdoor shower which provides gloriously indulgent alfresco bathing.

The focus here stays on the great outdoors, augmented by a variety of seating and viewing options. Folding stack doors lead to an East-facing veranda where sunny mornings can be enjoyed. A few steps along a wooden boardwalk leads directly to a deck suspended over the Gobos river.

This home’s beauty lies both in its execution and location with the interior spaces holding their own against the views outside. Set on 3400m² with breath taking views of the Riviersonderend mountains, this intimate house is truly a couple’s dream.
