Classy but homely Kenilworth residence near top schools

A FIVE-bedroomed, modern home in Upper Kenilworth, within walking distance of two top schools, will be auctioned by the Rawson Property Group on September 23 at noon.

The impressive new residence of about 600m2 was designed by architect Giselle van der Straeten and is “at the pinnacle of properties in Kenilworth”, says Rawson.

The triple-storey home, equipped with a lift and on a plot of 730m2 at 8 Oak Avenue, is within walking distance of leading private schools such as Herschel Girls’ School and Western Province Preparatory.

“The location is important – apart from the proximity to the two schools, Kenilworth has easy access to the M4 and M5 arterials as well as neighbouring Claremont with its plethora of shopping and entertainment amenities.

“The home is immaculate, with ultra-modern finishes and extremely spacious, but has a homely feel,” says Rawson’s regional franchisee Tanya Jovanovski.

All five bedrooms are en suite. The master bedroom on the third floor features a luxurious Bijou bath, glass-encased balcony and spacious pyjama lounge/ work- from- home studio. The three bedrooms on the first floor all have balconies, pyjama/TV rooms, with one also having an office area.

The ground floor, in addition to another en suite bedroom, features an open area housing a “hi-tech” kitchen/ scullery, dining and lounge space.

The lounge’s glass doors lead to a covered entertainment area with built-in braai, pool and manicured lawns.

There is a double remote-controlled garage, separate accommodation for the housekeeper and top security.

The residence is being rented out at R45 000 a month. The lease expires at the end of next month.

“However, it can easily achieve monthly rentals of R65 000 or more,” Jovanovski says.

The reserve price is R10.8 million with an expected opening bid of R9m but all offers will be considered.
