  • Best Digs Ever? R70k A Month Gets You A Six-Bedroom Mansion In Higgovale

    I remember a simpler time, living in digs, when there was a 100% chance that one of my housemates (or myself) could be found lying in front of the TV all day with a hangover.

    Among the key differences between my old digs and this property in Higgovale, though, is that I was a student paying a few grand a month.

    If you want to live in this whopper in Higgovale, you’ll each be shelling out about R12 000 a month, but you’ll be living it up.

    Listed on Pam Golding, the six-bedroom, triple-storey home could host some proper blowouts. You’re renting, too, so I guess it’s OK if the neighbours hate you.

    Here’s the write-up:

    Located in sought after Higgovale the property has landscaped gardens with a large lawn…Spacious open plan dining room and living room flows to a sheltered patio and braai area.

    The kitchen is well-fitted, minimalistic and sleek. An original wooden staircase off the entrance foyer lead upstairs to three bedrooms. The luxurious master bedroom with open plan pyjama lounge and stylish bathroom has its own private patio with outdoor shower offering views of Signal Hill and the city skyline.

    I’ll leave you to fight over who takes the master bedroom, although I think that honour should go to the leaseholder, who runs the risk of the rest of you buggering off at the drop of a hat.

    Home office / study area with built-in workstation also located on the upper level. On the ground floor level is a private guest suite with its own separate entrance.

    It has its own open plan kitchen and living room with two bedrooms (bedroom 4 & 5) that share a bathroom. Separate neat and modernized domestic quarters (bedroom 6) fitted with a kitchenette and open plan living room that leads to a private leavy courtyard – this room has been recently renovated and could serve as a spare guest room. The domestic quarters has an en-suite bathroom.

    You could probably charge the person staying in the sixth bedroom a reduced rate then…

    Large double garage with ample extra storage space and gardener’s toilet & shower. A laundry room and play room fitted with a pool table and Pilates machine complete the picture for this rare find. Good security including alarm and armed response.

    Pilates machine – fancy.

    It’s not quite as zen as that R16 million effort nestled in its own private forest, but it’s nice.

    Given that you’re paying that sum of money, I’ll assume you’re all working professionals, and thus won’t be the type to haggle over every minor detail.

    (Or you’re a trust fund baby, and the same goes for you.)

    You know the type – ‘actually, I was gone for six days last month, so I should only pay for that period of usage’ and so on.

    If you want to see the rooms, and start the squabbling over who gets what, you can find the full listing here.
