light and sunny home on a lovely quiet street, with 24-hour street security.
An original farmhouse of the area, this home has wooden floors and pressed ceilings downstairs, and a voluminous thatched roof over an upstairs living area, bedrooms and bathroom. The house may be laid out as suits you, but essentially has 5 bedrooms; a study opening to the rear garden; two kitchen areas, one of which opens to the front garden; 3 bathrooms (one en-suite); 2 living/dining areas; an entrance-cum-breakfast nook; a separate laundry; small cottage; storage area and remote parking for 3 cars. The garden wraps around the house with a pool, and is encompassed within a high, dense hedge that provides security and privacy. The entire house has been recently repainted, renovated and re-thatched. It is connected to electricity and Egoli gas, with both electric and gas geysers.
This neighbourhood is quiet and established, the street secured by 24-hour private guards. It is close to all amenities, but secluded. An ideal place to raise children, write that book, make art, dabble in the garden …
I raised my daughter here, and it is with great reluctance I moved away. I am looking for responsible, "old-school" people to live here; people prepared to care for the home, garden and pool, and live peaceably within the community.
