Perched on an elevated stand in one of Johannesburg's most tightly knit, security conscious suburbs, this five bedroom entertainer is the real deal. Upgraded aluminium windows and stacked doors frame river views that will make your morning coffee taste considerably better.
Inside, all five bedrooms are upstairs, two with en suites, plus a dedicated study for when you need to look busy. Downstairs is where the fun lives: a modernised open plan kitchen with scullery flows effortlessly onto a covered patio and a sparkling, properly large pool. There is lawn for kids and dogs to tear up, and a guest loo so no one has to traipse upstairs mid braai.
The double garage leads directly into the home, because nobody enjoys carrying groceries in the rain. The home is in decent shape and has solid bones throughout. It is ready to move into, though a fresh coat of paint and a little cosmetic attention here and there would go a long way. Think of it as a canvas that already has the good stuff in place.
Then there is the cottage. Independent, generous, and sitting behind its own manicured garden balcony, it has a full kitchen, a large bedroom with walk in cupboard, and the kind of privacy that makes it equally useful as a rental, a home office, or somewhere to put the in laws when they visit a little too often.
The suburb runs on community spirit and a genuinely active homeowners association. Boomed access control keeps the wrong people out and the right neighbourly vibes very much in.
