Peter CrescentSt Francis Village, St Francis Bay, Eastern Cape, 6312

There are homes where the address tells only part of the story. This is one of them. Tucked into sought-after Peter Crescent just back from the shoreline, this is a home shaped around everything that makes life in St Francis Bay so special, the ocean, long days outdoors and a house filled with family and friends.

From its elevated position, the outlook stretches across the rooftops to the ocean and along the coastline towards Santareme. Upstairs, wide decks make the most of the view, creating beautiful spaces for morning coffee, entertaining and sundowners as the light changes over the bay.

Inside, the hardwood floors, exposed beams and generous proportions give the home an immediate warmth and relaxed character of a true coastal home. Open-plan living and dining areas flow naturally onto the entertainment deck and garden, allowing life to move easily between indoors and out.

The accommodation is generous and versatile and spread across two levels, boasting six bedrooms, six bathrooms (five are en-suite), as well as a guest bathroom. Two particularly spacious bedrooms, offer the option of a main suite, both opening onto the upper deck with beautiful sea views, ideal for extended family, older children or guests who appreciate having their own space.

A separate upstairs games and TV room gives the younger generation somewhere to disappear to after a day at the beach, while the rest of the household enjoy a sundowner from the terrace. It is the kind of detail that makes a real difference when the home is full over the holidays.
Outside, sheltered decks, established greenery and different pockets for entertaining create privacy and a wonderful sense of escape, while the elevated terrace takes full advantage of the ocean outlook.

Behind the easy coastal lifestyle is a home thoughtfully equipped for more self-sufficient living. Solar power with an 8.5kVA inverter, 8,500 litres of water storage, shared solar-powered well point as well as filtered rain and well water for the home and garden, add meaningful everyday value. Irrigation, predominantly gas geysers and a gas pellet fireplace further support year-round comfort.

There is also a double garage with additional height to accommodate a boat, an important consideration in a town where so much of life revolves around the water.

What sets this home apart is the combination: a location that will always matter, easy access to the beach, wonderful elevation, sea views, generous accommodation, excellent outdoor living with space for family and friends to come together without sacrificing privacy. Furniture and contents negotiable.
