Durbanville Meadows, Durbanville

There's an unhurried feel to this three-bedroom freehold home in a secure Durbanville Meadows estate. Bay windows, a covered stoep and a lawn of its own give it the character of a country cottage, with the practicality of 135 m² of living space on a 336 m² erf.

Day-to-day life centres on the open-plan living area. The kitchen, with its granite worktops and breakfast bar, looks straight through to the lounge, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation. On warmer evenings, the French doors in the dining room open onto the stoep and the garden beyond. A separate scullery and laundry keeps the everyday out of sight, with a drying passage at the back and internal access to the garage for carrying the shopping straight in.

The main bedroom is set around a bay window and is a calm retreat at the end of the day, with air-conditioning, a ceiling fan and generous built-in storage. Its en-suite is finished in grey subway tile with a frameless glass shower.

Two further bedrooms, both with built-in cupboards, suit children, guests or a home office, and the third looks out over the garden. The family bathroom has a bath with a handheld shower.

Outside, the enclosed front lawn gives children and pets a safe place to play while you sit out on the stoep.

A single garage, two tandem parking bays, estate access control and a perimeter electric fence mean you can lock up and go without a second thought.

Offered at R2 995 000.
