5 Bed House in Houghton Estate
MAJESTIC 180 DEGREE VIEWS AND A HOME WITH HISTORY!
Rich in tradition, this single storey character home offers unhindered 180 degree panoramic views of Johannesburg stretching as far as the eye can see right until the Magaliesburg Mountain Range. The view is unique in that there is a large flat entertainment area of garden with a fountain looking over the view, whereas many other Johannesburg view sites drop steeply down with little usable garden in front.
Boasting pressed ceilings, wooden bay windows, cozy fireplaces and Oregon pine floors throughout, the accent is on charm and grace.
Its beautiful garden, set on 3807 square meters, bustling with aloes, ancient indigenous trees including a white stinkwood feature tree, rockeries with prickly pear groves, fruit trees and established stone pathways to get lost in the tranquility of nature at its best, coupled with the breathtaking views, make this home a peaceful sanctuary, a respite from the hustle and bustle of city life, whilst still being situated close to top private schools such as St John''s, Roedean, Sacred Heart and King Edwards.
