St. Aubyn's. Echoes of Portuguese Pioneer Culture.
Designed by Scottish Architect, Alexander Forrest in 1928.
Meticulously and fastidiously restored to its original condition by the owner.
O riginal pressed-steel ceiling panels, chequerboard black and white tiles and emerald tiles that line the large koi pond are specially cast. Wooden floors, beveled glass wooden doors, custom wooden shutters, birds-eye maple cupboards and marble fireplaces seal a final stamp of authenticity. The large patio is reached up classical stairways and balustrades. Beautifully turned wood features. Mediterranean terraced gardens and extensive views.
This double storey home has unusual views overlooking Melville, Auckland Park and Milpark from its south back garden, with the imposing University of Johannesburg buildings peeping out from the ridges to the west.
