Some homes are impressive from the driveway. This one stays impressive long after you've moved in.
Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in the sought-after Phase 2 of Fourways Gardens Estate, this five-bedroom Georgian-inspired residence announces itself through a grand double-volume entrance and then delivers on the promise at every turn.
A ground floor designed for real life
Two generous lounges, a formal dining room, and a spacious eat-in kitchen give this home the rare quality of feeling both elegant and entirely liveable. A guest bedroom with newly renovated en-suite, a separate guest cloakroom, and a dedicated home office with its own private entrance mean the ground floor works as hard as the family that fills it.
The formal lounge is the kind of room you don't want to leave centred on a wood-burning fireplace with an antique cast-iron surround, solid wood mantel, and bay windows that frame the garden like a painting. In the kitchen, a Morso combustion fireplace keeps the heart of the home warm through winter, while a gas hob, separate scullery and pantry, and double doors opening to a private al fresco terrace make it as practical as it is inviting.
Bay windows appear throughout the home, flooding each room with natural light. Most rooms open directly onto the garden the kind of detail that sounds small until you've lived it every day.
Four bedrooms upstairs, all well-considered
The main bedroom offers a walk-in dressing room and full en-suite. The remaining three bedrooms are light, spacious, and share a well-appointed family bathroom. Everything upstairs is calm, functional, and finished to a standard that requires nothing of its next owners.
Outdoors, the home earns its place
The summer patio overlooks a sparkling pool and poolside gazebo an outdoor living space that works equally well for Sunday lunches with extended family or quiet evenings. A winter patio extends the usable outdoor area through the cooler months. Two garden storage sheds, a double automated garage, and staff accommodation complete a property that has genuinely thought of everything.
Solar panels and an inverter mean load shedding is an inconvenience, not a disruption.
The estate itself is part of the offering
Fourways Gardens is one of Johannesburg's most established security estates not just for its access control, but for what happens inside its walls. A resident restaurant, dedicated cycle park, dog-walking parks, and a genuine community calendar of events make this an estate where neighbours actually know each other. For families, that matters.
This is a home that has been lived in and loved. It is ready for the next family to do the same.
