Imagine Christmas and Every Season That Follows in This Westville Wonderland
We could roll out the red carpet and showcase this Top Billing stunner with a grand show day. But instead, let’s pause, breathe and dream together for a moment. Unwrap the vision as Josh Buitendach, co-founder of Shelley Residential, lets his imagination wander through the playground of possibility that is 10A Kings Avenue, Westville. A prestigious address, endless space, and a place where the whole family “comes home”.
Each Space Wrapped in Glee
The morning of December 25th feels like stepping into a classic holiday movie. Three lounges stretch across the heart of the home, each one filled with its own moments of magic. The first lounge becomes a warm conversation nook where older cousins reconnect over early morning coffee as little ones rush past them. In the second lounge, Gran pages through old photo albums after rediscovering a sentimental ornament, and in the brightest corner of the main lounge, the glittering tree stands proudly, surrounded by shiny wrapped gifts awaiting excited little hands.
The kitchen carries the warmth of festive aromas and the quiet rhythm of dishes being prepared. Aunts put the final touches on the peppermint crisp tart just as the roasts slip into the oven. With two dining rooms to choose from, the family can celebrate in any style they wish. Formal, relaxed, intimate, extravagant. Every version finds its place here.
Holiday Magic Shifts Into Routine
January brings the familiar rhythm of preparation, yet here the transition feels natural rather than abrupt. School shoes begin to line the hallway, and backpacks settle neatly into their corners. The study shifts into the command centre for projects, timetables and moments of quiet concentration. “This home grows with your family and adapts to every season,” the owners say.
Set just minutes from Westville’s finest schools, the property makes daily life beautifully seamless. Morning drop-offs, afternoon practices, and evening returns all flow with ease thanks to quick access to the N3 and M13. And in the calm that follows, home becomes a private retreat once again. Here, routine doesn’t mark the end of holiday magic. It simply becomes another chapter in a life lived fully.
A Garden of Joy and Childhood Wonder
By April, autumn leaves scatter softly across the expansive gardens, setting the scene for an Easter celebration that feels lifted from the pages of a storybook. The multi-purpose astro court becomes a colourful Easter egg arena, bursting with excitement. Children race across the surface searching for chocolate bunnies tucked behind cones and marshmallow eggs along the court’s edges. The fun spills effortlessly into the treehouse and jungle gym, where more hidden treasures wait to be found.
After a slow braai on the covered patio, the entire family gathers for the annual Easter tournament. From the elevated decked balcony, grandparents and family friends look on with iced tea in hand, smiling as the parents step onto the court with the kind of confidence that suggests they’re definitely keeping score.
The owners reflect, “This home kept our kids active. Rather than disappearing behind screens, they headed outside, running drills on the astro, shooting hoops, inventing games. They grew up choosing the open sky over Netflix marathons.”
Warm Dips and Mid-Year Magic
June arrives with cool nights and cosy rituals, and this is where winter truly comes alive. The heated pool steals the spotlight, steam drifting upward as children float lazily in the warmth. Built-in bench seating sets the stage for long chats, relaxed dips and the kind of moments that stretch late into the evening. A fire pit crackles nearby, marshmallows toast, s’mores melt, and the colder months suddenly feel like a celebration.
Inside, the gym balances out each season’s treats, and the entertainment wing takes the crown for year-round gatherings. A Springboks game lights up the projector, friends cheer from their seats, and the bar hums with cocktails, cold beers and easy conversation. Decades of celebration have played out here. Children’s birthday cakes gave way to teenage movie nights, then to milestone anniversaries and formal dinners. This is a home that shaped a childhood, supported a career, held friendships and celebrated milestones.
And thanks to the solar system with battery and inverter, solar geyser, and JoJo tank, the celebrations never skip a beat. Not even for loadshedding.
