Detached house for sale in 9 Woodville Road, Mill Park, Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha), Eastern Cape, South Africa

This is a rare opportunity to own one of Mill Park's most iconic homes. The Old Mill House stands proud in a beautiful, manicured garden with an interior that's as stunning as the exterior. Blending exquisite yesteryear character with modern upgrades where they count, it lends itself to a growing young family that loves to entertain. The magnificent double wood and glass doors open into a large entrance hall, with plenty of space for coat racks, antique furniture and art works. It extends to a series of gracious living rooms, which include a formal lounge, dining room and TV lounge with double French doors to a pergola shaded patio and a paved pool. Walled and private, this glorious summer space is framed by a magical, water tank fed garden. There's also an entertainment room with a built in braai and frameless stacker doors on two sides that open out to the pool. The kitchen is a visual feast, with banks of modern white cabinetry, elegant dark granite counter tops, a high end freestanding gas and electric cooking range, ceramic butler's sink and doors to the garden. In the centre is a large, wood topped island where everyone can gather while the chef is at work, and a separate scullery that keeps things neat. A fitted study and a guest cloakroom complete the downstairs layout. Upstairs are four generously proportioned bedrooms (with a spa like main en suite) and a full, luxurious family bathroom. Steps away from the main residence is a double garage on remote, a paved forecourt, and a flat with its own entrance. Comprising a sunny, open plan living room, excellent fitted kitchen, bedroom with masses of built in cupboards and an en suite bathroom, it's a viable BnB or lettable option. This home is totally off the grid. Special features abound, and include beamed ceilings, fireplaces and shutters, a striking wrought iron front gate and top security. Within walking distance of the Grey Boys' Schools, and close to the Friendly City's beaches, upmarket malls and business hubs, it's a home that will take your breath away. Viewing is by appointment.
