Set along the sought-after Upper Park Drive in the heart of Forest Town, and positioned opposite the iconic Johannesburg Zoo, this character-filled heritage home presents a rare opportunity to restore a once-beautiful residence in one of Johannesburg’s most desirable neighbourhoods.
This spacious four-bedroom home is situated on a heritage site and offers exceptional bones and generous proportions throughout. Upstairs, four light-filled bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, including a spacious main bedroom with a full en-suite bathroom. The home’s original wooden floors add warmth and timeless charm, creating an inviting ambience that reflects the character of the era in which it was built.
The lower level offers expansive living and entertainment spaces, including a large kitchen with a separate scullery, ideal for family living and entertaining. Additional features include a dedicated entertainment area, a swimming pool, and an outside bathroom.
The property also offers an extra-large double garage and is framed by beautiful mature Jacaranda tree trees, with what was once a lush garden that has the potential to be restored to its former splendour.
While the home has unfortunately experienced some neglect over time, it presents a remarkable opportunity for a visionary buyer to restore and revive its original prestige and elegance. With the right care and attention, this property could once again become a magnificent Forest Town residence.
Previously valued at R4.5 million, this property is now inviting offers, presenting an exceptional chance to secure a heritage home in a prime location at a compelling price.
A rare bargain in the millions — an opportunity not to be missed for those with vision and appreciation for character homes.
