Description

Nestled within a gated community in the exclusive suburb of Hyde Park, and fortified by towering 18-foot walls, this palatial residence offers unrivalled privacy and security with round-the-clock guarded access.

A fountain courtyard and stately portico welcome you to the grand entrance hall where a sweeping celebrity staircase and glittering chandelier set the tone for opulence.

These include a private lounge featuring a double-sided fireplace and glass-enclosed wine storage, an open-plan formal lounge and dining room, a study, and a vast TV lounge (doubling as a cinema room thanks to a retractable screen and projector). A guest WC enhances the convenience of the main floor.
