Avondale, Parow

This home is walled and gated, with a neat front lawn, a mature palm tree and a paved driveway under a shade-sail carport.

Inside, the open-plan lounge, dining area and kitchen sit under a bulkhead ceiling with downlights. A stone-clad fireplace anchors the lounge. The kitchen is modern, with wood-grain cabinetry, a subway-tile splashback, an eye-level oven and a movable island, and a separate laundry passage sits next to it.

There are three bedrooms, all with built-in cupboards. The main bedroom has a sliding barn door to its en-suite, which has a corner bath and a separate shower. The other two bedrooms have parquet floors and share a modern second bathroom with a frameless walk-in shower.

The highlight of the home is a large entertainment room with a built-in braai. Its folding glass doors open fully onto the back garden, which is low-maintenance and has a kidney-shaped pool and a steel storage shed.
