It’s been a while since we’ve dabbled in a spot of property ogling, right?
Did you miss it?
Probably not, but we are trying to write something that isn’t COVID-19 or crime-related, so here we are.
Rather than go for the absurd, like those listings in excess of R100 million, we’ll remain somewhat tethered to reality and check out this Property24 listing in Rondebosch’s Lochiel Road.
Get ready for the buzzwords – “Elegant and inspiring in a gracious mature garden setting”.
I hate an immature garden setting, but I am a big fan of the 1242 m² property size. More from the four-bedroom, R13,95 million listing:
This impressive family home in a lovely tree -lined road beckons the discerning buyer. Beautifully redesigned, renovated and re landscaped with no expense spared and every convenience considered, this spacious home has been enjoyed by the same family for 20 years, leaving a wonderful legacy to the next owner.
A virtual treasure trove of unique features including gleaming wooden floors and specially designed staircase. The extensive open plan living area with feature fireplace flows freely with stacking doors to the undercover entertainment area and wrap around pool deck with koi pond and leading directly on to the formal landscaped and totally private garden.
The superb cherry wood and granite kitchen with its separate scullery, laundry and temperature- controlled wine cellar forms the warm relaxed hub of the home.
Let’s treat ourselves to a video tour:
That’s some stylish, ‘burbs living right there.
But you’re paying for the privilege, because even if you nailed last night’s lottery numbers (20 people did), you’re still a good R8 million or so short.
