Elegant Garden Home With Income-generating Cottages And Entertainment Spaces

A paved area with a double carport and plenty of additional parking welcomes one to this northern gem in a quiet side road.

Situated in an elegant, established, parklike garden this pristine well presented home will most certainly meet with your approval. It's within close proximity to schools, Cascades Centre, Athlone Shopping Centre and Gyms ticks many boxes. The current owners have run a very successful Air BnB which has proved very popular as is evident in the fact that they expanded it to include two separate cottages, one with 2 beds and the other suitable for a family of five.

The entrance hall leads to a very generously proportioned lounge/dining room well positioned adjacent to the modern immaculate kitchen and scullery/laundry.

Attention to detail is evident in the 3 bedrooms which form part of the Air BnB with tasteful furnishings and en-suite bathrooms, one with an outside entrance. A guest loo is also found nearby as well as a TV lounge which could become a fifth bedroom. The main bedroom enjoys views of the garden and crystal clear pool. Substantially sized, this room has oodles of cupboard space as well as a full attractively designed bathroom. A sunny office leads off the main bedroom and also takes in the same view.

The entire front of the home has an undercover entertainment area with seating to take in the seasonal changes in the private garden.

Perhaps the main attraction is the two cottages which form part of the the Air BnB but would serve very well for permanent rental purposes. They are private and tastefully presented with parking close by. The second larger cottage has kitchen facilities but very easy to add a kitchenette into the smaller cottage.

Storage is in the form of a Wendy house and the home also has domestic facilities for a permanent domestic worker. Three Jojo tanks ensure that water will always be available.

For Air BnB purposes, the seller has details of their bookings past, present and future as well as details of the financial position showing a positive monthly position over the past 8 years.

An excellent property offering various options including office space, continuation as an Air BnB, optimal accommodation for a larger family and in fact any venture that you would like to pursue.
