Space, comfort and ocean views
sole mandate. welcome to 53 maritime - a home designed around space, comfort and the beauty of its coastal setting located in pezula golf estate, knysna, garden route, south africa.
from the driveway, you enter through the double garage and front entrance. to the left, there is direct garage access with a workshop nook and bicycle storage, while to the right a flexible room awaits - currently fitted out as a private cinema with a built-in projector, large screen, and 5-channel sound system. this space can equally serve as a home office or fifth bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom.
upstairs, the home opens into a generous open-plan living area that brings together the lounge, dining, window-bay sitting area and kitchen. the kitchen is both practical and social, featuring ample counter space, an indoor gas braai and access to a sheltered north-facing courtyard for sunny afternoons. on the southern side, glass doors open to a wide deck with expansive views of the coastline and ocean. the lounge is fitted with a no-vent gas fireplace, a built-in tv and ceiling-mounted speakers, creating a warm and inviting central space.
the bedroom layout has been carefully planned. two en-suite bedrooms line the passage, while the main suite offers sweeping ocean views, a walk-in wardrobe and a full bathroom with double vanity. a completely separate guest suite, tucked privately beyond the kitchen, includes its own bathroom, providing visitors their own comfortable retreat.
thoughtful extras enhance everyday living: a convert ed golf-cart garage now serves as a gym or hobby room with a high-amp power outlet; a secure outdoor storeroom on the deck keeps cushions and chairs neatly stowed; and a large storage area under the stairs adds further utility. underfloor heating runs through all bedrooms and living areas, while a double geyser system serves the four en-suite bedrooms; and an on-demand gas heater supplies the kitchen, scullery and guest suite.
the home is also equipped with excellent energy and security systems, including a 15 kwh backup battery and 8 kw inverter, a peak power management system, computer-controlled irrigation, baboon-proof window stays, a fitted alarm system and fibre-to-home connectivity.
neutral finishes and uncluttered interiors give the house a calm, open feel - easy to personalise, easy to live in. with its seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces, its balance of private and shared areas, and its practical features for modern living, 53 maritime is a home you can settle into with ease.
