Relaxed, family-focused living on an elevated Ferncliffe street with a labour-of-love rose garden, open-plan cherrywood kitchen, four bedrooms, 2.5 baths and triple garage.
Much thought has gone into this practical, well-constructed home, which the present owner has lived in since inception in 1988. Enjoying an East/West setting, it is situated in an elevated position in Ferncliffe in a quiet road of attractive homes. Some of the features include the fact that it is face brick (under tile) inside and out with aluminium window frames throughout, resulting in minimal upkeep, Quarry tiles have been utilised for the heavy traffic areas, whereas the bedrooms are carpeted.
The entrance hall leads to the lounges on the one side and the open-plan fitted Cherrywood kitchen and dining room on the other. Two ovens grace the kitchen, the one being in the gas stove with extractor fan and the other a fitted undercounter oven. The kitchen is spacious and well appointed. A door leads from the kitchen into the auto double garage which has a separate laundry in it as well as a work area. A roofed courtyard is situated adjacent to the laundry
The lounges open on to a private veranda overlooking a mature garden that has been a labour of love for many years, especially the rose garden. Down the passage from the lounges, is a guest loo and four spacious, carpeted bedrooms, three of which are fitted with built-in-cupboards. The main bathroom is situated in this area, whereas the main bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom. All bedrooms have a peaceful outlook on to the garden.
