House for sale in Richmond Hill

Coming home to 71 Irvine Street will always be a delight for the new owner. For one, it's full of heritage features such as stained-glass windows, high ceilings, picture rails, original Oregon doors and floors, sash windows, and graceful arches. For another, it boasts lovely sea views. Beautifully upgraded with a modern bathroom and freshly painted white kitchen, skylights allow masses of natural light inside. The living area is open-plan with space for dining and lounge suites, and a breakfast counter that connects it to the kitchen for chatty cooking and effortless entertaining. The easy flow continues through a glass backdoor onto a covered wooden deck and then down into a walled garden with a brick braai. Private and sheltered, it's big enough for hosting friends al fresco and ideal for smaller dogs. The enclosed front veranda is another great spot for relaxing – all you need is a bistro table and some chairs. The bedrooms are warm and inviting with wooden floors. The home also boasts two basements with the balcony serving as a covered patio over their entrances: easily converted into a flatlet or offices, these versatile rooms are currently used for storage. Other features include robust burglar bars and security gates. Its a surveillance area with cameras in place, and the peace of mind that comes from living in an active neighbours area with WhatsApp groups. Nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac yet close to the vibrant eateries and pubs that line Stanley Street, this gem is also well positioned for business and school commuting. Viewing is by appointment.
