Lush Greenery & Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living

The landscaping is a mix of lush greenery, Japanese Elms, Clivia, Star Jasmine and Forest Pansies which create dappled light pathways as you walk through to he front door step. The spacious layout of the property allows for seamless indoor-outdoor living, perfect for entertaining guests or relaxing in privacy.

Relaxed & Sophisticated

On the porch, the Nodi easy chairs, with a linen cord and refined wenge frames paired with the Monsieur Tricot light and Drops side table, create a sophisticated and harmonious setting outside the 1950s home.
