House to rent in Universitas

Space, security and versatility come together in this substantial family home, set on a generous stand, with seven bedrooms and three bathrooms in the main house, plus a self-contained flat on the same property, this is a rare find for large families or anyone needing extra space to live, work or earn extra rental income.

Bright, light-filled interiors run throughout, finished in neutral tones with wood-look flooring and wall-mounted air-conditioning in most rooms, keeping the household comfortable through every season. Several bedrooms and security-barred windows, and the flexible layout easily adapts to a large family's needs — guest rooms, a home office, or a dedicated study and playroom.

Living and entertaining the heart of the home is a generous, sun-filled open-plan living area, warmed by a freestanding wood-burning fireplace — a real asset come winter. A further living space off the main circulation area adds room to spread out, entertain, or simply enjoy some family downtime.

A kitchen made for family life the well-appointed kitchen is fitted with rich wood-toned cabinetry, a stylish mosaic tile splash back and durable granite-style countertops, with generous storage and space for casual family meals.

The flat — extra space, extra options

A private, self-contained flat on the same property opens up a world of possibilities: accommodation for extended family, a live-in helper, a student, or a tenant to help offset costs — or simply a quiet space for a home-based business, away from the main house.
