This little jewel of a home was originally built in 1905, when Johannesburg was only starting to become a settlement. Since then, it has been lovingly updated keeping the essentials of its old world charm, but aimed at a modern lifestyle.
The last renovation (2022) saw all internals (electrical, plumbing) replaced and updated, some solid paintwork (inside and out) and the renovation of the bathroom, turning it into a wellness temple. Restoring the original wooden floors etc. The garden has been lovingly planned to make the house and its outdoor space an oasis of peace and calm, in the city welcoming birdlife from the surrounding parks.
The property is located on the Watershed Ridge, within the Education Belt, thereby in close proximity to all universities, and some of Johannesburg´s best schools, (both primary and secondary). It is at the highest point of the city, making it possible to see and experience the tremendous weather changes over the city in all its dramatic beauty.
An open plan kitchen, dining room and living room is separate from the two bedrooms (BIC in both) which share the modern bathroom. Both Bedrooms are East facing, making for brilliant sunrises over the Skyline of the city.
The Patio looks over the garden and sweeping views to the south. The perfect spot for lazy afternoons. The private outside shower boasts both cold and hot water with a rainhead shower. A little bit of luxury to spoil the city dweller.
The neighbourhood of Brixton is a melting pot of creatives and internationals, with a tight, friendly and supportive community. The Brixton Residents Association regularly organises Neighbourhood events (Brixton Festival of Lights, Cinema in the Park, (over and above the community building actions around improving security and engagement). The central point of this community is Breezeblock (which is a block away from the house) - a meeting spot for the neighbourhood, famous outside of the neighbourhood´s borders for its brilliant breakfasts and Sundowners Cocktail Sessions. Kingston Frost Park is within walking Distance too, with breathtaking views to the North. Do make a point of watching storms rolling over the city on the benches in the park.
This home is ideal for someone starting out on the property ladder, great for singles and young couples. The current owners have sadly outgrown the property and wish to hand it over to someone who loves the place as much as they do. Brixton is home to so many creatives and academics - make it yours. Book an appointment to view below - the property is a must see. This is a home, not only a lifestyle.
