About this property

Inviting Offers From R3,750,000 Some homes impress with size. Others impress with balance, independence and location. This beautifully renovated, north-facing home offers the rare combination of comfortable family living, generous outdoor space and true off-grid capability. It is situated approximately two minutes’ walk from Masjid Saffiyah and within easy walking distance of the beautiful Johannesburg Botanical Gardens. The proportions are just right. The house is neither too large nor too small, while the established garden provides ample space for children, entertaining and relaxed outdoor living. The separate garden cottage also offers excellent potential for expansion without the need to construct additional buildings. From the moment you arrive, the property feels welcoming. A mature garden and level lawn frame the approach, while the elevated swimming pool and patio overlook the greenery below, creating an ideal setting for quiet afternoons and family gatherings. Inside, the home has been fully renovated while retaining the warmth and character of its original features. Gleaming wooden parquet floors run through the living areas and bring a timeless quality to the interiors. The lounge opens directly onto the patio through wide stackable doors, allowing the indoor and outdoor spaces to flow naturally into one another. The adjoining dining room provides a comfortable setting for family meals and entertaining, while the exquisite kitchen forms a striking centrepiece to the home. It is beautifully finished and supported by a separate scullery, keeping the main kitchen practical and uncluttered. The accommodation includes three spacious bedrooms. The main bedroom is a private retreat, complete with an en-suite bathroom and its own secluded courtyard with an outdoor shower—an unexpected and luxurious feature that gives the suite a distinctive sense of privacy. A major advantage of the property is the separate garden cottage. It includes a lounge, kitchenette, bedroom and bathroom, as well as its own private garden. This makes it ideal for extended family, guests, rental accommodation or independent living. The adjoining double garage has been converted into a substantial work-from-home office. The space offers excellent flexibility: it can remain as an office, be incorporated into the cottage to create considerably more accommodation or be converted back into a double garage. Importantly, the cottage can therefore be expanded without the need to build additional structures. For those seeking greater independence from municipal services, the property offers genuine off-grid living. It is equipped with a solar power system and a borehole with a filtration system, providing both energy and water security. Fully renovated, thoughtfully proportioned and exceptionally well located, this is a home that offers far more than first meets the eye. It is practical without feeling ordinary, flexible without compromise and perfectly suited to modern family living.
