An Exceptional Estate With Built-In Investment Potential | The Crown Jewel of Birdhaven
Perfectly positioned in one of Johannesburgs most coveted, tree-lined enclaves, this refined sanctuary situated directly opposite the tranquil James & Ethel Gray Park.

A hidden gem wrapped in beautifully fragranced, landscaped gardens, this light-filled residence is a celebration of outdoor living and everyday serenity.
Designed with sophistication and flexibility in mind, the home currently offers a spacious three-bedroom layout complemented by two highly successful income-producing Air BnB suites, one of which is proudly ranked amongst the top five percent in Johannesburg.

Elegant north-facing reception rooms spill out onto a picturesque, covered terrace overlooking the sun-drenched garden and sparkling pool, a perfect environment for relaxed entertaining. The chefs kitchen is fitted with a gas stovetop, bespoke wooden counters and an inviting breakfast area, flowing seamlessly into the bright family room. Upstairs, three serene bedrooms include a luxurious main suite opening onto a charming balcony with leafy park views, accompanied by a versatile and spacious family pajama lounge.
The ground floor guest suite enjoys its own living area, kitchenette and private entrance, while the elevated loft-style apartment captures panoramic views over the park, its open-plan design and sliding cavity windows creating a truly immersive experience, a major draw for its loyal returning guests. Together, these fully furnished suites have consistently delivered an impressive monthly rental income of approximately R40,000, contributing notable financial value to this already exceptional offering.
Engineered for secure, modern living, the home benefits from a solar system, solar geysers, CCTV, alarm, electric fencing and internal/external beams. Practical features include a double garage and two well-appointed domestic suites with separate facilities.
