4 Bedroom house for sale in Rosendal

Unique Designer Contemporary Farmhouse

Daniel van der Merwe of Leaf Architects created this unique contemporary version of a South African farmhouse, with wrap around verandas on 3 sides. It is an ideal 4 bedroom family home / guest house, or you can live in the 3 bedroom main house and let the granny flat over weekends. Homes like this seldom come on to the market.
This spacious 314 m² up-market house is designed to give you the best possible quality of life. It is pleasantly cool in summer because 12 double French doors open onto verandas for constant fresh air circulation, and it is comfortably warm in winter thanks to the wood burning fireplace in the lounge and the anthracite stove in the kitchen heating the home. Magical snow and no Eskom, no problem.
Two garages flank the pagoda entrance leading up to the front door and inside pagoda style beams carry the spectacular double height pitched roof of the central lounge-dining living area, which flows out onto a sheltered porch with built-in braai, for seamless indoor-outdoor entertainment.
The hallmark of this house is stylish comfort. The kitchen has ample built-in cupboards, an electric oven, a 5 hob gas cooker, an extractor fan, separate pantry and a separate scullery-laundry area.
The main bedroom's full bathroom includes a walk-through dressing room and an open air shower. Two more bedrooms share the family bathroom. They are complimented by the granny flat, with its own entrance, bathroom and kitchenette. There are Meranti timber floors, doors and windows throughout.
The owners have truly enjoyed living in this lovely home for twenty years, and are now reluctantly downsizing. It needs some TLC maintenance and is therefor competitively priced. Besides, you will want to put your own stamp on the house. You may prefer to replace the current neat fencing with security fencing in the future.
The landscaped garden includes a wealth of established, mature shade and fruit trees (4 apricot, 3 peach, 2 quince, 2 mulberry, 1 fig, 1 pear and 2 pecan nuts), shrubs and perennial plants all along the borders of the erf, ensuring maximum privacy. The equipped borehole provides your own sweet water. In the vegetable garden is a sturdy pipe frame, covered with shadow netting, giving you 45 m² protected area for plant propagation and planting. There is also a neat 9 m² lockable shed for garden tools. A keen gardener will thrive here.
This fine house on erf of 2,677 m² is for sale for R1,4 million.
