COLONIAL INSPIRATIONS: 5 BEDROOM HOME AND 2 BEDROOM COTTAGE IN SOUGHT AFTER LOCATION.

A stunning family home awaits you. Featuring Rhodesian teak parquet flooring, contemporary tiles, and elegant sash windows. This residence boasts 4 beautifully renovated bedrooms, including a spacious main suite with a dressing room and private study. Nestled on a 1765m² plot, it offers a generously sized lounge, dining room, TV room, and a bright kitchen that seamlessly connects to a spacious covered verandah with stacking doors, perfect for year-round entertainment. Outdoors, you'll find a games room and a guest suite, along with secure parking for 5 cars.

As a bonus, there's a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage with a separate entrance, ideal for a granny flat or rental income. Enjoy a refreshing swimming pool and double staff accommodations. Noteworthy features include high ceilings, sash windows, crystal chandeliers, and a well-appointed kitchen with white cabinetry, granite countertops, SMEG appliances, and a central island with a prep bowl. The scullery and laundry are separate for added convenience. The spacious verandah features skylights and stacking aluminum doors.

The property boasts a well-established garden with rolling lawns and a pool heat pump. It's equipped with solar panels and an inverter system that powers the entire house, supplemented by municipal gas and pay-as-you-go electricity. Recent upgrades include new electrical wiring, plumbing, and aluminum gutters. Security is top-notch with an alarm, beams, electric fence, cameras, and armed response, bolstered by the presence of a nearby guard house.

The backup power system consists of a 3kW solar setup paired with a Victron inverter and 5kWh batteries. It's versatile, allowing adjustments to either minimize household power consumption or maximize support during load shedding. This system can power most household appliances except for high-energy devices like ovens, microwaves, and air fryers. However, essentials like alarms, refrigerators, freezers, and lights are supported. Users can regulate usage via a mobile app, distributing power between Eskom and the solar-inverter system based on load shedding schedules and sunlight availability. It runs for approximately 5 hours at full capacity, but usage is managed judiciously, ensuring continuous power without depletion. Additionally, heating, cooking, and water heating are powered separately using gas, conserving electricity.

Additionally, there's a self-contained double-story income-generating cottage, currently producing between R10,400 and R15,000 per month.
