Solar-Powered Sanctuary for the Extended Family – Glen Marais
Tucked away in one of Glen Marais’s quiet, tree-lined avenues, this modernised home marries generous proportions with effortless off-grid living. A newly installed, full solar power system keeps every light glowing and every appliance humming, even when the neighbourhood goes dark.
Step through the front door into an expansive, fully tiled living core where lounge, dining room and kitchen flow together beneath high ceilings. Sunlight pours through picture windows that frame a private courtyard garden, while the dining area easily hosts twelve for Sunday lunch. The adjoining kitchen centres on an oversized granite breakfast counter, serviced by a four-plate hob and eye-level oven. Around the corner, a separate scullery hides the hard work with double sinks and wall-to-wall pantry cupboards, and an independent laundry keeps laundry day neatly out of sight.
Entertaining is effortless: just off the dining room a vast, covered braai lounge opens through sliding doors to the back garden and sparkling pool. Tiled throughout and fitted with broad counters and built-in braai, this space is equally welcoming for cosy winter fires or balmy summer gatherings.
Down the passage, three carpeted bedrooms promise quiet retreat. The king-sized main suite boasts a renovated en-suite with corner shower and tub, while the family bathroom and guest cloakroom have been refreshed in matching contemporary tones. Beyond, a large study delivers work-from-home freedom, and a double garage with built-in workshop caters to every hobby. The original staff quarter—with its own bathroom—is ready for conversion, storage or a live-in helper, and an additional double carport enjoys its own gated entrance.
Upstairs, a purpose-built granny flat offers complete independence for parents, adult children or rental income. Its open-plan lounge and white-granite kitchen spill onto a sunny balcony; two generous bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom, while the main enjoys its own chic en-suite.
Homes of this scale, versatility and energy independence are scarce in Glen Marais. Arrange your private viewing today and discover a property where every generation can thrive under one solar-powered roof.
