Character, Space & Versatility in the Heart of Essenwood
Set in one of Essenwood''s established residential pockets, this beautifully renovated freehold home offers a wonderful combination of character, modern comfort and exceptional versatility.
Generously proportioned and thoughtfully laid out, the property is ideally suited to family living while offering the added flexibility of two self-contained granny flats with separate access.
Whether you''re looking for space for a growing family, accommodation for extended family, dedicated work-from-home areas, or the potential to generate additional income, this home offers options that are increasingly difficult to find in this sought-after Berea suburb.
A Home Designed for Family Life
From the moment you enter, the home''s generous proportions and natural light create a welcoming sense of space.
High ceilings, contemporary finishes and a practical flow between the living areas make the main residence both comfortable and easy to enjoy.
The heart of the home is the spacious living and entertaining area, with the lounge and open-plan spaces flowing naturally towards the covered entertainment veranda and swimming pool.
The outdoor areas provide an ideal setting for family gatherings, weekend braais or simply enjoying time outdoors.

Quality contemporary finishes
Generous built-in cabinetry
Central island
Excellent preparation and workspace
A layout designed for everyday family living and entertaining
Comfortable Private Accommodation
The accommodation wing provides a peaceful separation from the home''s main living areas.
The bedrooms are well proportioned and offer comfortable family accommodation, while the main bedroom provides generous space and a tranquil retreat.
The bathrooms have been updated with clean, contemporary finishes that complement the home''s renovated character.
Two Self-Contained Granny Flats
