Townhouse sold in Kabega

As pretty as a picture, this townhouse nestles in a secure complex with a communal swimming pool. It's situated in a treed road close to Metlife Plaza and the N2 onramp for quick Baywest Mall commuting, making the ideal home for a first-time buyer or retiree.

Everything's in place for easy living, including a cheerful white kitchen with a hob, extractor fan, undercounter oven and double sink. The kitchen connects to the living area via a large serving hatch, so you can be part of the party while you're whipping up snacks and dinner.

A sliding door in the lounge opens into a charming, walled garden ready for you to turn into an oasis. Safe for little kids and pets, there's space for your braai, outdoor furniture, flowers and herbs. Both bedrooms are carpeted with built-in cupboards, and the spotless bathroom boasts a handy shower / bath combination as well as a basin, toilet, and storage. Extras include tiled floors in the living area, aluminium-framed windows and doors to keep maintenance down, burglar bars, security gates, and modern window blinds.

Elysee Gardens, with its delightful gabled units and well-kept grounds, is protected by an electrified perimeter and access control. It's also pet-friendly and on the doorstep of a choice of churches and schools. Viewing is by appointment.
