Timeless Elegance in the heart of Houghton Estate.

Steeped in character and grace, this exquisitely styled double storey, French inspired residence, captures the romance and sophistication of a bygone era. Dating back to the 1920’s, the home blends classic architecture with easy, contemporary living.
From its charming façade and welcoming entrance hall with a classic, curved staircase, to beautifully appointed interiors, every detail reflects refined craftsmanship and timeless appeal. There are five high-ceilinged inter-leading reception rooms, filled with natural light, and all flowing to the beautifully landscaped, near acre-sized garden (3865 Sq M) with mature trees and wonderful plantings. A charming covered verandah, accessed from both the family room and kitchen, overlooks the verdant rear garden and pool.
Upstairs are four north facing bedrooms (2 double) plus two bathrooms and a pyjama lounge, secured by a bespoke, wrought iron gate. The two bathrooms are somewhat out-of-date, providing an opportunity for restyling or redesign to suit your family’s needs.
The second dwelling, with separate access, is a combination of living and bespoke work from home space – used as a recording studio. It is currently rented out on a month to month basis, the tenant willing to continue this arrangement with a new owner, if required. It comprises two bedrooms, a living room/kitchen, plus the two-roomed recording studio – easily converted for general living, or even a combination cottage/spacious outdoor entertainment area over-looking the pool.
Extensive outbuildings provide accommodation for two staff, a laundry and a two car, tandem garage with additional storage. Garden irrigation via a borehole with a 5000 litre water tank.
This property of 3865 Sq M, can be sub-divided into three stands : The first would include the main house; the second - a vacant stand, and a third stand , including the second dwelling of around 145 Sq M, offering solid investment opportunity.
Centrally located, with quick access to Rosebank, Hyde Park and Sandton CBD, and close to all the best schools, Kingsmead, Pridwin, Roedean, St Johns, as well as Wits and UJ. Medical facilities include the Park Lane, The Donald Gordon, Rosebank Clinic and Milpark.
This residence has been the much-loved home of the current owners for forty years… now planning to relocate to the coast, and they look forward to meeting a new young family, who will enjoy the wonderful family lifestyle offered by this unique property!
