Modest but special family home in the artsy, vibrant, leafy suburb of Melville. Close to varsities, restaurant, entertainment, shops, Milpark hospital and the SABC to mention a few. Around the corner from Barry Hertzog drive, Greenside, Auckland park, Westcliff, Parktown and within easy access of Sandton, Rosebank and JHB cbd's. In terms of being convenient and central for whole family, nothing beats this location.
The house itself offers, neatly tiled open plan living and high ceilings with wooden beams. A double garage and main entrance to the kitchen with a gully style that's not too fussy or complicated but offers enough storage and counter space to get all your daily cooking done. This leads you to the open plan dining and tv area and sliding doors that lead to the pool and courtyard on the right.
There is also a hallway with a skylight that leads you to the second side of the home where the family bathroom is on the left as you walk through the hallway. The first bedroom then follows immediately after the bathroom, a bright, sunny, spacious bedroom, with ample storage and big enough to fit a queen size bed. Thereafter, immediately to the right, you get the second bedroom, more a kids bedroom big enough to fit 2 singles but can also work as an adult child's bedroom or even a study. Then to the right, a bit of a long entrance way, leads to a generously sized, master bedroom, big enough to fit an extra length king size bed. With huge floor to ceiling wardrobes. The main en-suite comes with a full bathroom. Double French doors which lead to the courtyard and pool area and also gives you decent views of the kids when they are near the pool area.
Extras include, fireplace in lounge/dining areas, built in braai in the courtyard. 2 electric garages, fully walled on all sides and comes with an electric fence. Each room has its own external access from outside the house. Making it ideal for short term rentals and Airbnb without guests bumping into each other or even a small student accommodation business. Good area close to schools, hospitals and work opportunities. Great location, great entertainers home and also a great family home with small garden that can be pretty much maintenance-free and yet still lends itself to being a great home for weekends braaing by the pool. Must come see it, drastic price drop from R1650 000 to R1500 000!! Even fixer uppers don't come at this price in Melville.
