This spacious and elegant 5-bedroom all-ensuite classical home sits on a half-acre plot within the prestigious Petunia Close, Karen Plains. Petunia Close comprises only six exclusive residences, forming a semi-gated, low-density enclave that offers privacy, security, and a strong sense of community. The property is accessed via a 12-metre-wide tarmac road ending in a cul-de-sac, further enhancing safety and tranquility.
The residence is surrounded by mature evergreen landscaping, featuring lawns and a variety of fruit-bearing trees, including mangoes, avocados, and pomegranates—creating a peaceful garden sanctuary.
Architecturally, the home showcases a classical stone-and-plaster façade complemented by a reinforced clay tile shingle roof. Interiors are finished with timeless wooden parquet flooring, while solar water heating systems enhance energy efficiency.
The property is secured by a perimeter wall accented with red brick columns at three-metre intervals, lending a refined and distinctive classical outlook. The property is owned on a residential leasehold title, 99 years from 1999.
