5 Bedroom House in Edgemead

Come and view this home and fall in love with the possibilities it offers.

This is the Edgemead lifestyle: an established, family-orientated neighbourhood where residents still walk the streets, neighbours look out for one anothers children and elderly, and an active neighbourhood watch keeps a close eye on the area. Edgemead Day Care Centre, Little Mead Day Nursery, Edgemead Primary and Edgemead High are all minutes away, with Canal Walk, N1 City, Panorama Mediclinic and the N1 and N7 within easy reach.

Set in a quiet cul-de-sac with no through traffic, this outstanding Old Edgemead home combines spacious family living, low-maintenance finishes and a fully self-contained flat with a tenant in place. A municipal park a short walk away gives the children open lawn, a big slide, a roundabout and a see-saw to play on to their hearts content.

Main house 150 m²

Living and flow: A welcoming entrance opens into a very spacious lounge and a separate dining room, flowing into a modern galley kitchen with well-planned drawer storage and a separate rear scullery.

Enclosed braai room: A fully enclosed indoor braai room with rustic tiled floors, exposed ceiling beams and American shutters. A single aluminium door leads directly onto the low-maintenance outdoor entertainment area and the pool.

Solar pool panel heating system: A large swimming pool heated by rooftop solar panels stretches the season from early November to late April at no running cost: lazy summer days, relaxing around the braai and entertaining friends.

Three bedrooms, three bathrooms: Bedrooms 1 and 2 have built-in cupboards and laminate flooring, and bedroom 2 has its own en-suite shower room. The main bedroom, positioned privately at the back of the house, has built-in cupboards, tiled floors and a sliding door to the pool area, and a spacious en-suite with heated towel rails and a wall heater. A family bathroom with bath, basin and toilet serves the rest of the home and guests.

Garage and extras: A double automated garage 36 m² with washing-machine plumbing and a back door straight into the kitchen. Spanish burglar bars on all exterior windows, low-maintenance aluminium window frames, modern wooden slat blinds, fibre-ready and prepaid electricity.

Self-contained flat 50 m²

Income in place: Currently let at R10 000 per month. The tenant has been given notice that the property is for sale and would welcome the opportunity to negotiate a new lease with the new owner, making the flat a meaningful contribution towards the bond every month.

For homeowners caring for ageing parents, it offers a way to keep them close and independent at the same time: their own front door, their own kitchen and living space, and a bathroom placed between the bedrooms for ease of access, all a few steps from the main house. Compared with the cost of a retirement village, it is a practical and dignified alternative that keeps the family together and the security of loved ones within reach.

Privacy and security: A completely separate entrance with a Trellidor security gate keeps family and tenant lives independent of one another.

Layout: Two bedrooms with built-in cupboards, a bright open-plan kitchen and lounge, a dedicated solar geyser, and a full shower bathroom conveniently placed between the two bedrooms.
