If space, convenience, and potential are what you’re after, then this solid North-facing family home in Athlone is sure to catch your eye. Perfectly positioned close to Cascades Lifestyle Centre, Liberty Mall, Greys Hospital, schools, office parks, and with easy access to major routes, it doesn’t get more convenient than this.
The electric gate opens for you to glide up the tarred driveway into one of two garages, or park under the double car port. From there you can walk through a well-lit covered courtyard and directly into the lounge, or you can amble along the path, past the swimming pool and onto the huge, long verandah. Here is the heart of this South African home. Overlooking the sparkling pool, it’s the perfect spot for summer braais or relaxed weekends with friends and family.
Once inside you’re welcomed by a generous sized lounge, bathed in natural light from the full-length windows that create a wonderful sense of openness and warmth. It has both a built-in fireplace and an air conditioner for both winter and summer. The adjoining dining room has doors opening onto the back verandah overlooking a small garden, giving you a second option for an outdoor entertainment area. Just off the living area you’ll find a fully fitted study—perfect for working from home or keeping the household organised.
The kitchen is spacious and practical, with plenty of both cupboard and workspace. A freestanding stove is included, and there is a double sink and room for one undercounter appliance. Outside the back door is a separate laundry room – an absolute blessing.
This home is all about flexibility. It can be used as one big 4 bedroom house with an annex, or it can be used as a 3 bedroom house with a separate 2 bedroom flat. The bedrooms are carpeted, have built-in cupboards and ceiling fans. The family bathroom and the ensuite bathroom both have a bath & a shower, toilet & basin cupboard. The flat has a neat kitchen with a double sink, freestanding stove and a serving hatch. The lounge is spacious, complete with built-in fireplace, and has doors leading onto the back verandah overlooking the small, pretty back garden. This is fenced off, so if it were rented out, the tenants could have their own entrance.
An outside room with its own bathroom adds yet another layer of versatility—whether you need domestic accommodation, a teen pad, a guest suite, or even a dedicated home office, this space can adapt to your needs.
The property sits on a generous, level, fully walled garden, offering space for kids and pets to play, as well as two JoJo tanks for rainwater harvesting—a real plus for eco-conscious buyers. A garden shed at the back provides extra storage for your gardening equipment.
Homes like this don’t come around often—a versatile family haven in the heart of Athlone with space for everyone, or an option for extra income. Call me today to arrange a viewing and see how perfectly this home could fit your family.
