NEGOTIATING OFFERS FROM R1,599,000
A large, freestanding family home on a generous 1,002m² corner stand in Bordeaux North, north of Republic Road. The position is convenient: St Stithians is just minutes away, Sandton, Rosebank and Hyde Park are within easy reach, and the Gautrain feeder bus is a short walk from the door. The home is solid and has been genuinely well looked after - ready to move into, with scope to modernise over time.
The main living area has real character: a high vaulted ceiling with exposed timber beams and a floor-to-ceiling stone-clad fireplace for Highveld winters. A built-in wooden bar sits off the lounge - a fun original feature you can keep, use or remove to suit how you live.
The kitchen is neat and functional, with granite countertops, a breakfast bar, extractor fan and a separate scullery and laundry area - a sound working kitchen, with the option to update it to your own taste in future. An enclosed, glassed-in sunroom off the living area overlooks the pool and garden, making an easy all-weather spot for coffee or casual meals.
There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus a separate study - useful for anyone working from home - and a dedicated dining room. The main bedroom is sunny, with laminate flooring, a ceiling fan and built-in cupboards, and there is generous built-in cupboard space through the bedroom wing.
The real value here is outside. A covered patio with built-in braai and pizza oven looks onto a big lawn with space for kids and pets, a swimming pool with brick-paved surrounds, a sunken trampoline and established trees for privacy and shade. On a 1,002m² stand there is genuine room to extend, landscape or add to the home over time.
Practical extras include a double garage plus off-street parking for two more cars, solar geyser, JoJo water storage tanks, full perimeter walling, security gates, burglar bars and CCTV. Inverter and solar system not included - negotiable.
The location backs it up: St Stithians College is just minutes away in neighbouring Lyme Park, with Bordeaux Primary School an easy 220m walk for younger kids. Everyday shopping is a straight run down Republic Road to Ferndale on Republic (Woolworths, Checkers, Dis-Chem), with Hyde Park Corner and Rosebank both within a 10-15minute drive. Commuters can hop on the Gautrain feeder bus (Route 11), which stops on Republic Road 360m from the house.
A solid, well-cared-for family home with great bones on a large stand, well positioned for schools, Sandton and Rosebank. All reasonable offers will be presented; contact us today to arrange a viewing.
