Apartment to rent
Enjoy effortless Kenilworth living moments from Harfield Village and Rosmead Centre, in a light-filled first-floor apartment with a modern kitchen and 100kWh battery backup, two beds, two baths, two parking.
Welcome to 81 Rosmead, a brand-new, modern four-storey development in the heart of Kenilworth. As the very first occupant of this thoughtfully designed first-floor apartment, you will enjoy a pristine, contemporary living space tailored to make urban living easy.
As you walk into the unit, the first thing you notice is the light and bright space. Natural light floods in through the north-facing windows showcasing the premium finishes and clean architectural lines. Accessible via a short flight of stairs (please note there is no lift on-site), this apartment is perfectly configured for young professional couples or single occupants seeking a central, high-security suburban lifestyle.
Tangible Quality-of-Life Features
- Uninterrupted Living: A shared, central 100kWh battery backup and inverter system automatically powers all apartment lights, the lounge TV point, and dedicated bedroom plugs during outages. This ensures seamless enjoyment of your home or undisturbed remote work. While load shedding is not a primary concern now, it is good to know you are covered if it does become an issue again.
- Guaranteed Hot Water: A central solar-heated hot water plant ensures hot water is always available and is not impacted by geyser failures or municipal power cuts. Over and above this, it means that your monthly electrical bill will also be lower than otherwise.
- Frictionless Security: Main access doors use facial recognition technology, resulting in real security and no longer needing to fumble for keys when you arrive home with bags of shopping. The property is fully protected by comprehensive perimeter walls, public-facing electric fencing, automated parking access gates, and full CCTV monitoring across all perimeters and entrances. If making sure you are safe is high up your list, then this is the place for you.
- Connectivity: High-speed fibre infrastructure is pre-installed (Octotel), and the apartment is fully streaming-ready for DSTV.
