About this property

What a privilege it is to own a home in one of Johannesburg’s most historic and sought-after neighbourhoods. This charming and character-filled home is ideally situated within the secure Westcliff/Parktown boomed enclosure, close to top schools, universities, hospitals, and commercial hubs. The main house is currently configured as a spacious two-bedroom dwelling. Two of the original bedrooms have been seamlessly combined to create an expansive main bedroom, which can easily be reconfigured back into two separate rooms if desired. This versatility, together with the additional two-bedroom cottage, presents a wonderful opportunity to tailor the home to your needs in one of Johannesburg’s most desirable suburbs. Entering the home via a short flight of stairs from the garden, you are welcomed onto a traditional stoep and into a light-filled entrance hall set within a beautiful bay window. This leads seamlessly into the living room, where pressed ceilings and Oregon pine floors set the tone for the home’s timeless character and relaxed, inviting feel. A striking curved bay window serves as a reminder of the home’s heritage, a feature seldom found in Johannesburg properties of this kind. The formal dining room flows off the living area through elegant lead-glass sliding doors, continuing the theme of classic finishes and generous proportions. At the heart of the home is a sun-drenched, open-plan kitchen, family, and TV room, a warm and welcoming space centred around a wood-burning oven. Sliding doors open onto an expansive patio and braai area, ideal for easy indoor-outdoor living. The kitchen features a gas hob, a traditional walk-in pantry, and a separate study area. The main house offers flexible accommodation, currently comprising two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with the option to reinstate a third bedroom. The main bedroom is en suite and opens out onto the garden, while the additional bedroom(s) share a bathroom. Original ceiling-mounted light fittings throughout the home further enhance its character and sense of history. A well-appointed two-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage with its own private entrance provides excellent income-generating potential or space for extended family. Above the cottage, a generous deck offers beautiful west-facing views; perfect for sundowners. Additional features include a double garage with storeroom, off-street parking for a further two vehicles, and a separate laundry. The home is set within a lush, established garden with mature trees and a flat lawn, ideal for children. A fire pit completes the picture, creating a perfect setting for relaxed outdoor entertaining. Security - Located within the boomed road closure with 24 hour roaming guards. Water - Harvested into jojo tanks for garden irrigation, with a further 5000l tank with municipal water for the house. Solar/Inverter - 8 KVA system rented from goslr. (nearing the end of the contract so can be purchased for a reasonable price) This is seriously a special home waiting for its next family chapter.
