Property Description
This spacious family residence presents an outstanding renovation opportunity for investors, developers or owner-occupiers seeking to restore a home with exceptional underlying character and generous proportions. The home comprises three spacious en-suite bedrooms, with an additional versatile room that can easily serve as a fourth bedroom, private office or study, while the two larger bedrooms each feature direct access to the garden and could function as the principal suite. Designed for comfortable family living and entertaining, the home offers two expansive reception lounges, both opening onto a covered patio overlooking the swimming pool and established garden; each lounge is enhanced by a feature gas fireplace supplied directly by Egoli Gas, and the second lounge incorporates a built-in bar, creating an ideal entertainment space. The kitchen and living areas are complemented by quality architectural elements throughout, including natural stone floor tiling, exposed timber roof trusses and solid wooden window and door frames, providing a timeless foundation for a modern refurbishment. Additional improvements include a three-car garage with approximately 15 m² of dedicated storage space that does not compromise parking capacity, as well as a separate granny cottage or domestic quarters of approximately 30 m² offering flexible accommodation. The outdoor areas feature a mature garden, swimming pool, fish pond and a separate covered braai area, creating excellent recreational spaces with significant scope for enhancement. Please note that the property requires a comprehensive renovation and is currently missing the copper plumbing, making it ideally suited to buyers seeking a value-add opportunity; once restored, the home has the potential to become an exceptional family residence combining generous accommodation, distinctive architectural features and excellent entertainment amenities. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves as to the condition of the property and conduct their own due diligence.
