4 Bedroom House in Kensington

There are properties you view, and there are properties you feel. 21 Rocket Road is the latter.

Set on a generous 1,160m² elevated stand in the heart of Kensington, this 62-year-old character home has been thoughtfully improved where it counts and retains every bit of the original charm that makes Kensington homes so sought after.

The highlights:

Step onto the wooden deck and you will understand immediately. The views across Johannesburg are uninterrupted and spectacular the kind of outlook that stops conversation the moment you walk outside. There is also a balcony, giving you two separate outdoor spaces to enjoy.

Inside, four proper double bedrooms not box rooms are complemented by a dedicated study an increasingly rare find at this price point, and a genuine requirement for today''s buyer who works from home. Both bathrooms have been fully renovated to a modern standard, meaning the most expensive and disruptive upgrade is already done for you.

The farmhouse-style kitchen with its gas stove and central island is the heart of the home full of character, functional, and exactly what buyers in Kensington are looking for. The fireplace in the lounge adds warmth in winter and an authenticity that newer builds simply cannot replicate.

Practical features are well covered: a JoJo tank is plumbed directly into the home for water security, a covered carport accommodates two vehicles alongside the garage, and there is a back room with a bathroom on the stand a development opportunity or useful storage, as the new owner chooses.

The layered, established garden cascades down the hillside stand and adds to the sense of space and privacy that 1,160m² of Kensington land provides.
