This striking and character-filled golden oldie enjoys a superb corner position in sought-after Lawley Street and stands proudly on a massive 2 552m² stand. With two street entrances, the expansive stand, surrounded by magnificent mature trees and a beautifully established garden, offers the exciting potential to be subdivided into 2 x full-title stands. Adding exceptional value, a fully self-contained double-storey garden cottage is already situated on the upper section of approximately 1 000m², making this an ideal opportunity for a young couple, extended family or savvy investor.

The main residence, estimated to have been built around 1910, remains remarkably true to its original character, with only limited renovations made to this magnificent manor house. Beautiful Oregon Pine floors, original wooden doors and windows, extra-high pressed-steel ceilings, fireplaces and generously proportioned living areas create an atmosphere of timeless charm and elegance. The exceptionally spacious lounge features a cosy fireplace, while the sunny, north-facing dining room, complete with a beautiful crystal chandelier, flows effortlessly onto the enormous wrap-around stoep – perfect for relaxing and entertaining. There is also a separate TV room, study, four bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The spacious main bedroom is a true highlight, featuring an original Victorian fireplace, walk-in cupboard, small private study and its own kitchenette – ideal for morning coffee or a late-afternoon snack. The main study has an outside door opening onto the enormous veranda, making it perfect for a work-from-home office or professional workspace. The kitchen also offers the convenience of a walk-in pantry. The second dwelling is a charming, sunny and north-facing double-storey cottage, offering a living room, modernised kitchen, new bathroom and two bedrooms, together with its own private outdoor entertainment area. It has its own private street entrance and gates from Premier Street, plus ample off-street parking. This versatile cottage is ideal for extended family, older children, guests, rental income or a separate office.

The beautifully established and landscaped garden is a true haven, with enormous mature trees, spacious lawns and plenty of room for children to enjoy. Additional features include a borehole, 2 x 5 000-litre water storage tanks, sprinkler system, swimming pool and entertainment boma beneath the magnificent trees.

This unique and seldom-found property, with its highly desirable Lawley Street address, is a rare opportunity for those who appreciate the charm and craftsmanship of a golden oldie while seeing the potential to add modern sophistication. The enormous stand and second dwelling offer outstanding flexibility: subdivide and build a second full-title home, retain the cottage for rental income, or use it for older children, extended family or work-from-home purposes.
