Welcome to this beautifully established, character-filled home in Darrenwood that blends timeless charm with modern convenience. This original property has been sensitively renovated: much of its heritage remains intact, yet there’s room for you to put your own stamp on it. From the restored, warm parquet flooring throughout to the cozy, closed wood-burner fireplace in the living area, the house maintains a soulful elegance that whispers of its past — while offering a solid foundation for your design dreams.
Step into the heart of the home: a sleek, fully renovated kitchen boasting contemporary finishes and functionality, ideal for both everyday family meals and entertaining friends. The bathrooms have also been thoughtfully modernized. The master en-suite is particularly indulgent, featuring a free-standing bath perfect for unwinding, a double vanity, a double walk-in shower, and a heated towel rail — a very welcome luxury. These spaces invite a spa-like daily ritual, so whether you're getting ready in the morning or winding down at night, comfort and sophistication are always within reach.
One of the most enchanting features of this property is its seamless indoor-outdoor flow. A recently added enclosed dining and entertainment area — complete with a built-in braai — opens via sliding doors onto the lush, treed garden. The room’s stunning solid-timber open-truss roof structure brings a feeling of grandeur and warmth, and it’s the perfect setting for long summer evenings or weekend gatherings. Outside, you’ll also find a fenced heated pool with a cover, delivering both safety and year-round swimability. The garden itself is mature and leafy, offering both privacy and serenity, making it an ideal haven for relaxing or entertaining.
Practical, eco-conscious touches make this home as functional as it is beautiful. Solar panels with inverter and backup provide reliable, sustainable power — great for reducing electricity bills and ensuring resilience. A mains water-filtration system combined with a JoJo tank backup gives peace of mind and water security. Additional conveniences include a separate storeroom with its own private toilet and basin, a double garage with extra storage, and additional off-road parking. The location is remarkably well placed: tucked in leafy Darrenwood, you’re just a short drive from Linden, Parkhurst, and Cresta, giving you quick access to vibrant shopping, dining, green spaces, and city connectivity. This is not just a house — it’s a lifestyle: historic charm, modern amenities, thoughtful upgrades, and an unbeatable neighbourhood.
