Situated in Linden, Johannesburg, this low-maintenance face-brick home is ideal for grandparents who want to live next to their children and have an income-producing flat on the property. Access to this house is using a right of way registered over the neighbouring property, which is also in the market. As it is currently an extended family living on the two adjoining properties, no boundary wall exists between the two houses—grandchildren can move freely from mom and dad’s home to granddad and granny’s.
The house consists of two sections: the house itself and a spacious upstairs flat. The house comprises an entrance hall, a large living area/open-plan kitchen, a scullery, two bedrooms and two bathrooms (MES), and a study/hobby room. There is a built-in braai in the living area. This home has a double garage with direct access to the house.
The upstairs flat has a separate entrance and direct access from the third garage to the entrance hall/storeroom on the ground floor. An easy-to-climb staircase takes one to the flat, which comprises a lounge/open-plan kitchen, balcony, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms. The shower can be accessed from both the en-suite bathroom and the second bathroom, in which provision was made for a washing machine.
Like the next-door house, it is well-maintained and has excellent security. It also has a solar system consisting of 18 solar panels, an 8 KW inverter, and five batteries, which provide 19KW to the house and flatlet. Read more...
