5 bedroom house for sale in Chelsea

Set high up on the side of a hill, this magnificent Tuscan double-storey home boasts breath-taking sea views and the best of everything. It is surrounded by lush coastal vegetation, home to an abundance of birds, buck and other wildlife, and yet it’s only a 15 minute drive to the city. From the automated front gate, a gently curving, paved driveway takes you to a double garage on remote. Grand and welcoming at the same time, the “Elephant” sized front door is set under a pillared portico. An artwork in its own right, the double wood and metal staircase tops a show stopping indoor atrium with a water feature. The entrance hall leads into a vast, sunlit open-plan living area comprising a formal lounge with wood-burning fireplace and a balcony where one can take in the incredible ocean views. TV lounge with adjacent custom-built bar and stacker doors that lead out to the pool deck and outside shower. Completely private, the surrounding garden has a vine-covered pergola. To the right of the front door just as you walk inside is a wonderfully versatile space that would make a perfect home office, study or additional entertainment room. Also on the first level is a guest cloakroom, and a guest suite with its own luxurious bathroom. This room leads out into the garden. The modern kitchen features solid wood cabinetry, granite counter tops and a central work island with bar stools. As beautiful as it is practical, with a trendy cooking range, large gas hob and electric oven, an extractor fan, double stainless steel prep bowl with hot and cold filtered water, and a state-of-the-art Zip Hydro tap that provides ice-cold or boiling water on demand. In addition, there is a built-in microwave and convection oven, a walk-in pantry, a separate laundry and scullery with space for a dishwasher, washing machine and tumble drier. The large dining room also has its own sea-facing balcony and is ideally situated opposite the kitchen. Upstairs are the 4 family bedrooms each with their own full en-suite bathrooms, two with their own sea-facing balconies and two overlooking the swimming pool. The master bedroom has a walk-in dressing room and a full spa-like en suite bathroom with corner tub. Security is excellent, with an electrified perimeter, alarm system linked to an armed response company, CCTV and garden beams. The property also has domestic quarters, an irrigation system and 2 x 100 litre rainwater tanks that keep the garden in tip-top condition. A home for a family that loves to entertain. This masterpiece is a must-see.
