Description

I sold this delightful home to the current owners a few years ago and at that time, it was a two bed, two bath proposition with a single garage. The owners’ intentions were to convert the single garage into a fully self-contained unit for letting out via Airbnb – and that’s exactly what they have done – and beautifully too! …

Despite COVID, the letting out of the unit has been very successful and generated a significant side income for them.

The property is located in a lovely area of the suburb and is as safe as safe can be – there’s only one road entering/exiting the enclave of homes here, so there’s no passing traffic – either vehicular or pedestrian - and kids can and indeed do – play in the streets here! …

During their tenure, the owners also paved all the garden; planted water-wise vegetation; constructed a large covered patio/braai/entertainment area and added two large walk-in storage sheds out the back. All of this conversion and construction work was covered by approved Municipal plans, which also allow for the moving of the sliding front gate, to be positioned in front of a double car port.

So what we have here is a really big (at 142 sq m in total under roof) property on a very decent sized plot of nearly 300 sq m (286 sq m to be precise!) The living area is all tastefully tiled and comprises a dining room and a separate lounge. The kitchen is huge and offers a separate scullery and is plumbed for all appliances. Very good condition top and bottom cupboards complete the picture.

Then there are then two very decent-sized bedrooms, both with plenty of built-in cupboards and beautiful wood laminate flooring. The master bedroom has French doors leading out onto the covered patio, as well as an enormous walk-in closet and an en-suite bathroom with loo, basin and super-sized shower; all beautifully finished with ultra-mod tiles.

The second family bathroom consists of loo, basin and corner bath and boasts the exact same style of finishes as the en-suite.

The garage conversion has been very tastefully done to create a double bedroom with its own en-suite shower-room with another super-spacious shower, loo and basin. The room has an interleading door into the main house but this is usually left locked, allowing perfect privacy for all parties; with the visitors coming and going as they please through their own separate front door.

There are sliding doors from the dining room leading out on to the very private covered and paved patio area, just waiting for the lucky new owners to fire up the braai and get some friends around to celebrate! … 

Thus for the new owners, there are a number of options. Keep the Airbnb room for short or long term income-generating rental purposes; use it as a flatlet for family members or maybe as a teen pad for older children. Of course, it would be perfectly possible to convert the room back into a single garage but this would seem to be a shame, especially with the approved plans for a double car port. 

Completing the picture, the property has been secured throughout with Trellidoors, burglar bars and security gates; and there’s an alarm system; street camera streaming to your phone and an automated front sliding gate offering access to the front paved area ,where there’s room for 3 parked cars.

As a final bonus, as if one were needed, just one door down, there’s a lovely play park for kids of all ages, with a jungle gym, plenty of mature trees offering shade; and a big flat area on which to throw that frisbee, launch that drone or to hone those football skills!

So don’t think about this too long! Book your appointment to view this beautiful and attractively-priced home with me today - and make sure no-one beats you to it! ...
