The perfect multigenerational home in the heart of Thornhill Estate

Looking for the ideal multigenerational home that offers generously proportioned separate living spaces for two generations? Then look no further than this perfectly positioned home located at the top of a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Thornhill Estate.

This modern-classic home offers a well-designed duality and flexibility for forward-thinking families. Without any renovations it can instantly pivot between a 7-bedroom one-generation home, or a two-generation home (one home with five bedrooms, the other with two bedrooms), depending on one’s current and future needs. This flexible dualism is provided through its clever design.

Option one: the 7-bedroom one-family home. Enter through a double-volume entrance hall that leads into an open-plan layout that seamlessly connects the living room, dining room, and gourmet kitchen (complete with a separate scullery) with an indoor/outdoor family-room terrace overlooking the garden and swimming pool. Again, duality remains key. Want to take advantage of Johannesburg’s famous 8-month summer with an al fresco lunch or dinner? Or prefer a warm sunroom during the winter? Simply open or close the stack-back doors to create an enclosed solarium or open-air terrace, according to the weather or your mood. The home’s first floor offers a massive pyjama/TV lounge that serves as the heart of the upstairs living area. A hallway leads to a large hotel-style master suite, featuring an en-suite bathroom, dressing area and balcony that’s ideal for a morning espresso or sundowners. Four additional bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a study complete the upstairs living space. An interleading door (lockable from both sides) from the pyjama lounge leads into yet another large hotel-style bedroom suite, with en-suite bathroom - providing a perfect self-contained living space (as described below) for out-of-town visitors.

Option two: the multigenerational home. The five-bedroom home is described above, but there’s also a two-generation solution that offers an additional double-storey two-bedroom apartment – complete with its own entrance, private garden, kitchen, bathroom, open-plan lounge and dining area – providing each generation with complete privacy, or easy-access proximity, as required. This is the perfect two-home solution for a family with ageing parents or young adults who desire or require complete independence, while still remaining close.

The beautifully landscaped property also features a staff suite, top-of-the-range solar system, double garage, carport, automated irrigation system, and underfloor heating, ensuring comfort and efficiency throughout the home.

Thornhill Estate combines the best of relaxed country living and the convenience of smart city living, with state-of-the-art security, beautiful parks, two swimming pools and a residents’ clubhouse, and close to shopping and dining (Flamingo shopping centre is just outside the estate’s front gate), excellent schools, the Modderfontein Reserve, a golf course and mountain bike trails. It’s the perfect 15-minute neighbourhood providing the all the benefits of a small town lifestyle, yet with super-easy access to Joburg’s extensive freeway system – offering your family the best of both worlds.
