Property description
Close on to 30 years ago, my wife and I nearly bought this delightful family home in the heart of the more-than-sought-after Waves Edge suburb! But my best friend moving down from Jo’burg, was quicker off the mark than we were and secured the place for him and his family, ahead of us! They loved this house; and the Bar and the entertainment area often hosted all sorts of highly-memorable celebratory events. It was always an undisputed “Happy Place” for them.
The house is very typical of a close-on 60 year old home of that era. Constructed according to “old-school” values and practices, this place is as solid as a rock. There’s a dining area adjacent to the huge kitchen, which boasts an additional scullery area, that was built on a few years after moving in. There’s a giant TV lounge with a warming fireplace and a Bar room where, believe me, a lot of partying took place over the last three decades! Both lounge and Bar have doors leading into a cavernous partly glass-covered, inside/outside entertainment area; with another long bar unit and a built-in braai. Sliding doors lead out onto the pool area and the lush tropical garden beyond.
There are two family bedrooms along the main corridor; the one with sliding-door access to the pool area; both are serviced by a large bathroom. The master bedroom is enormous and has an en-suite full bathroom and benefits further from an additional large study room – both the study and the master bedroom offer direct access to the pool area.
The study has its own private door offering separate access to the property down the side passage, to the left of the building. Indeed, such is the attractive nature of this configuration, that the owner, once retired and living on his own, often rented out the master bedroom/en-suite/study combo. area, which resulted in an income of R 8 300 pm – not to be sneezed at!
So, what else? – Pool, cute garden, solar geyser, double-auto garage and an alarm system complete the extras.
Ok, so “reality check” time! The place is far from modern and would benefit from an entire cosmetic revamp to bring it up to today’s standards – so there’s undeniably work to be done. Factor that into the situation such that the sale has now, sadly, become that of a Deceased Estate – and additionally, that none of the Beneficiaries live locally – we arrive at the situation whereby they’ve collectively decided that it’s best to sell as quickly as possible, at an appropriately-adjusted price, so they can all simply move on with their lives.
Thus the incredibly discounted Asking Price! For sure, they aren’t prepared to “give the place away” – but “closure” is what they seek; even if that has to be achieved at a significant discount to the market-related value. Hence the astonishingly attractive Asking Price of just R 3.699 m.
This is going to go fast, as you might imagine! So, if this tantalising proposition and its attractive price appeals, call me now to book your appointment to view.
