Comments & Notes
URGENT SALE DUE TO DIVORCE
BOND OF R2,8-m TO SETTLE
A beautiful double storey safari-lodge style thatched home on a large stand in Murrayfield Ext 1, on the border of Lynnwood Ridge. This is a dream home for any large family and comes complete with a well-fitted flat featuring a kitchen, lounge, two sunny bedrooms with built-in cupboards, separate toilet and bathroom.
On the ground floor, the main house is split level with laminated wooden floors throughout. There is a huge double volume main lounge with a sliding door onto a secluded courtyard and stunning views as well as a secondary lounge (currently used as an office), dining room and open-plan Oregon pine kitchen and scullery with knotty pine ceilings. Upstairs there are four bedrooms (one a guest room with en-suite bathroom), a sandstone tiled main bathroom with corner jet bath and an upstairs lounge/living area and gallery currently used as a library-cum-study. The master bedroom is enormous and also features sandstone tiles and a huge balcony with beautiful views over hills and trees.
The flat is on the ground floor and has its own entrance if required (it is currently used by the owner's mom) and direct access to the garden.
The grounds are extensive and include a large lapa, sparkling (and very private) pool with adjacent plunge pool and a full sprinkler system and borehole. There are lots of established trees and the birdlife in the gardens is incredible, with regular sightings of grey hornbills, black headed orioles, red-winged starlings, paradise flycatchers, giant kingfishers, woodland kingfishers (a summer migrant) and variety of common garden birds.
A free-standing double garage and car port overlook the street, accessed via an electronically controlled gate. The entire property is fenced/walled and has a full alarm/security system with 24-hour armed response. Re-thatched five years ago, and combed and patched last year (2012) the house has been more-or-less completely renovated and there is little maintenance to be done, apart from gardening! The street, which has only nine homes, is very quiet and safe and falls under the auspices of Lynnwood Community Patrols and is patrolled regularly each night.
The neighbours are fabulous and the environment is beautiful - in fact it feels like a little piece of bush paradise in an urban setting. Bartle Avenue is close to Glenfair, Lynnridge, Gift Acres and The Grove shopping centres and a five-minute drive from both the N4 and N1 highways. There are excellent schools in the area and Menlyn is just 10 minutes down the road.
The owner needs to sell the property quickly due to a divorce and has a bond of R2,8-million to settle. She also needs a deposit for her next property, if possible.
