3 Bedroom House For Sale in Briza

Character Home with Subdivision Potential | Briza, Somerset West

Set on a generous 2164m2 erf in the heart of Briza, this 300m2 character home offers exceptional space, solid structure, and real long-term potential. An older home in need of TLC, but with strong bones, unique features, and flexibility that is increasingly hard to find.

Upon entry, you''re greeted by high-volume ceilings, a central skylight, and a burst of natural light as the home opens from the entrance hall into the formal lounge with oversized windows. This space flows naturally into a large snookerbilliard room, which in turn leads to a separate study with built-in cupboards and air-conditioning. Ideal for working from home or quiet focus.

1. Living and Entertaining

A separate living area, centred around a bioethanol fireplace, forms the heart of everyday living. This space connects seamlessly with the open-plan dining area, both enjoying soaring ceilings and excellent natural light.

A courtyard on one side enhances airflow and brightness, while the living area opens onto a large covered stoep with a built-in fireplace, overlooking the generous swimming pool that is well-suited to relaxed entertaining. Four wine cellars are thoughtfully positioned in the corner of the living room and tucked beneath the formal lounge above, adding subtle character and a touch of surprise without overwhelming the space.

The kitchen overlooks the living area and features original pinewood cabinetry, an eye-level oven, electric hob, a separate scullery, and direct access to the stoep and flatlets for easy indoor-outdoor flow.

2. Bedrooms and Bathrooms

The home offers three spacious bedrooms:

Two identical bedrooms with built-in cupboards. A main bedroom with double-volume ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a private courtyard with flexibility to expand, add a dressing room, or rework the en-suite.

The main en-suite is recently renovated and includes a walk-in closet, his-and-hers basins, bath, shower, and toilet. The family bathroom, also renovated, offers both a bath and a shower, with a separate guest toilet.

3. Additional Features and Potential

Extra-length double garage with direct access to the home and backyard. Beams and alarm system linked to the local neighbourhood watch and mobile app.

One with two rooms and a potential bathroom. One with one room and a potential bathroom. Ideal for future income, extended family, or work-from-home use.

4. Development and Location

The large erf allows for easy subdivision, with a panhandle already in place, providing a separate entrance. Situated in a quiet, leafy suburb, just 5 minutes from all major routes and close to Helderberg College, De Hoop Primary, and Parel Vallei High School.

A rare opportunity for a buyer who appreciates scale and substance, and who understands the long-term value of a well-located home with genuine potential.
