What identifies a home in Bryanston or one of Sandton’s other affluent areas as a home of luxury and distinction? Are there things that add that special edge of luxury, resulting in a home that is transformed into one which is extraordinary in its creature comforts, finishes, and appointments?
Although important to buyers of luxury homes in Bryanston and elsewhere in South Africa where opulence is expected, there is much more to luxury at home than being surrounded by fine furniture, exclusive appointments, and a team of domestic helpers.
