3 Bed House in Glenwood

Lovingly restored historic grande dame. Welcome to one of Glenwoods original heritage homes dating back to the 1920s, an era when structures were built for our humid subtropical climate. Cleverly designed, this elevated two-storey house faces north east to take advantage of even the slightest breeze on sweltering days and sultry nights. Coupled with high ceilings and huge windows in every room, air circulates optimally and ample natural light comes streaming in. Bay windows, wood finishes, pressed ceilings, ornate ironmongery and crafted stained-glass detail are some of the bespoke features this home boasts. The kitchen, scullery and walk-in pantry are perfect for entertaining because the dishes can be piled up in the pantry sink without being seen by anyone walking into the kitchen. How clever is that?

In 2019 the house was completely re-wired, drainage issues during the floods were sorted, gutters replaced, the garage waterproofed and bathrooms renovated. Additional off-street parking for three cars was created, all with Amafa and Ethekwini planning approval. Both the house and the cottage are fitted with prepaid electricity meters and have been air bnbd in the past. Across the road is a green lung where people walk their dogs, no one will ever build because parts slope steeply, and continues to be maintained by members of the community. The area generally has an amazing community spirit and the neighbours are especially great. Just down the road and a short walk away is Glenwood Bakery. To bolster the efforts of the local police station the newly formed UIP is already making inroads in combating crime as well as improving the appearance of verges and roads.

Glenwood is renowned for its excellent schools and this property is surrounded by them - Glenwood Prep, Glenwood High and Glenwood Junior on one side, Penzance Primary, Girls High, Eden College and Holy Family on the other, Open Air below and St Henrys Marist Brothers above. Then in the event of a medical emergency, there are three private hospitals on your doorstep.

Prepaid electricity in the main house and separate prepaid electricity meter in the flatlet. Water, refuse and sanitation billed monthly, separately.
