Johannesburg, Greenside
Set on a corner stand on one of Greenside's best, tree-lined roads, this charming red-brick home blends old-world character with modern amenities. The property offers three generous-sized bedrooms and two bathrooms, one on-suite. The entrance hall/dining room leads through original sliding glass doors into a spacious lounge, with a stylish Morso wood-burning stove for winter evenings. The farmhouse kitchen with ample cupboard space features character Oregon and modern maple cupboards complemented by granite countertops. It is equipped with a gas hob and electric oven. A separate scullery leads off the kitchen.
The large covered patio with views over the Indigenous garden is perfect for entertaining guests or simply relaxing with the sound of birdsong. Several beautiful trees in the garden offer respite on hot summer days. An added bonus is the income-generating cottage with its own courtyard garden. The one-bedroom cottage has an open-plan kitchen/living area and separate bathroom with shower and is ideal for rental or extended family.
There is also an additional outside room with its own bathroom, suitable for domestic quarters, or a home office/consulting room.
The house offers good security, including a tiled roof, electric gates, outside beams, and a modern alarm system, and has 4 off-street parking bays.
The property is also well equipped in terms of water backup and power self-sufficiency, having two rainwater tanks, a solar geyser, and a fully integrated solar system. The solar system comprises an 8.8 KW hybrid inverter, two 5.5 kWh batteries, and seven solar panels. It not only ensures a reliable power supply that reduces reliance on the grid but also offers considerable cost savings in the face of rising electricity costs.
This house, with its glowing Oregon wood doors and floors, has been cherished for many years and offers a new owner the opportunity to enjoy its warmth and relaxed liveability.
