Highland Road View-Side Family Home with Exceptional Entertainment Space
Positioned on the desirable, north-facing side of Highland Road, this spacious family home offers panoramic views, seamless indoor-outdoor living, and exceptional entertainment spaces. The standout feature is the expansive leisure area with stacker doors that open directly onto the pool and a breathtaking view—perfect for hosting, relaxing, or enjoying your own man/lady cave complete with a built-in bar. It’s also a great spot for children’s homework or quiet retreat time.Throughout the home, elegant sandstone tiles and bamboo flooring create a warm yet refined atmosphere, complemented by bamboo blinds on most windows. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring high-end appliances including an extractor fan, built-in deep fryer, teppanyaki hot plate, glass and wood cabinetry, a large pantry, prep basin, and a separate scullery—ideal for both everyday use and entertaining.
Two bedrooms feature pressed metal ceilings, while all rooms are fitted with sliding glass and wood doors. The “sea bedroom” connects to a study—perfect for a teen—while two of the en-suite bedrooms lead onto a balcony offering spectacular day and night views. The main bathroom is a highlight, with windows that open up to the view, allowing you to relax in the bath while taking in Johannesburg’s skyline.
Additional features include a cozy lounge, a TV room, a study, three bathrooms, and the option to convert the bar area into a fourth bedroom. The lower-level leisure room, also with stacker doors, opens to one of the most impressive views of Johannesburg Central.
This home also provides outstanding practicality: three garages (two automated), parking for up to eight cars, and staff quarters with three rooms (bathroom, bedroom, and laundry) that can easily be converted into a granny flat or rental accommodation. Located on a street with access to Bedford Gardens and monitored by security booths, the home is further secured by a comprehensive system of sensors, lasers, and cameras.
Whether sipping wine on the balcony at sunset or hosting unforgettable summer pool parties, this elevated family home offers style, space, and year-round lifestyle appeal in one of Kensington’s most scenic positions.
