Bedrooms
Both bedrooms are spacious with carpeted floors, neutral cream walls, and decorative ceiling cornices. Built-in wardrobes in the main bedroom give tons of storage – 6 doors total, so no need for extra cupboards. Big windows with sheer + blockout curtains let in good light. Ceiling lights: simple pendant in room 1, classic chandelier in main bedroom. Solid “move-in ready” rooms, just dated carpet/curtains you could update later.
Bathroom
Full family bathroom with bath + shower combo. Tiled floor to ceiling in soft pink/beige with floral accent tiles – very 90s but clean + functional. Modern basin on vanity + arched mirror, toilet, and burglar bars on window for security. Good size, everything works.
Living + Dining + Bar Area – The Star of the House
This is where the house gets personality:
- Dining room: Round wooden table, built-in buffet/hutch, large windows with curtains. Arched doorway connects to the lounge. Carpet throughout keeps it warm.
- Lounge: High wood-paneled vaulted ceiling with exposed beams = big, airy feel. Feature brick wall + built-in shelving. White columns divide the spaces but keep it open-plan.
- The “Wow” Feature: Indoor rock waterfall/garden feature with plants + garden gnomes It’s a full water feature against the brick wall, flowing into a pond. Next to it is a built-in wooden bar with stools + glass cabinets. This is either love-it-or-remove-it, but it makes the house unforgettable. Check if pump works + no leaks.
Overall Vibe & Potential
This is a solid 90s-era home with “good bones”. Strengths: large rooms, built-ins, high ceilings, unique entertainment area, and carpet keeps it cozy. The waterfall + bar makes it perfect if you love entertaining or want something different from every other
- Carpet style, tiles, cornices = likely 1990s build. Older homes = more maintenance, which explains a higher reserve fund.
- Waterfall: Beautiful but ask about maintenance costs. If the pump fails or it leaks, repairs aren’t cheap.
- Updates: Modern flooring + fresh paint would transform it instantly.
Quick walkthrough of what I see:
Outside + Security
- Exterior: Light grey plaster + facebrick base, tiled roof with solar panels. Looks solid + low maintenance. Big yard with grass – lots of potential for braai area/garden.
- Security: That vibracrete + palisade fence combo is common in Kempton Park. Gate looks sturdy. Good for peace of mind.
Inside
- Kitchen: Tiled floors, built-in cupboards, stove + microwave space. Washing machine is in the kitchen – saves space but check plumbing/drainage. Dark wood cupboards = classic 90s/2000s SA style. Solid, just dated.
- Bedrooms: Carpeted, built-in cupboards in main bedroom, good natural light from big windows. Ceiling cornices + light fittings still look neat. Carpet is that old-school “bubble” pattern – cozy but you’ll want to check for stains/wear underneath.
- Living area: Wow, that rock waterfall feature + wooden bar with high ceiling is a statement! Super unique. Some buyers love it, some remove it. Check if the waterfall pump still works + any leaks.
- Bathroom: Full bathroom with tub, basin, toilet. Pink/beige tiles = older but clean and functional. Window has burglar bars age/any leaks. Those solar panels – are they paid off or do you take over a lease?
- Waterfall/bar: Unique but maintenance-heavy. If pump fails, repairs can be pricey. Ask if it’s included/seller will remove.
- Kitchen plumbing: Washing machine in kitchen means more water pipes. Check for damp under sink.
- Carpet: Lift a corner in bedroom if possible. Concrete underneath = cheaper to replace with tiles/laminate later.
- Age of property: Style looks 1990s. That’s why the reserve fund might be high – older complexes need more maintenance for roofs, plumbing,
