1 Bedroom Garden Cottage in Auckland Park

For those whom appreciate architecture and classic buildings: a large, sunny downstairs residence in an unusual Dutch-style house, on a quiet street within easy access of shops and major transport routes.It would suit a mature, financially independent single person, looking to create their own home space, rented at R5 500 per month excluding. Equally, it could be shared by a couple. However, the rent thereto would be R 7 000 pm for 2 people, excluding. More than 2 people will not be considered. The property is not suitable for small children.The main house was designed by a Dutch architect in the early 1900s, on a large garden property not overlooked.The residence offered is the downstairs area of the main house, which has two large, ROUND rooms with wood floors and pressed ceilings, connected by a passage. Off the passage lie a large wood-floor kitchen with heaps of built-in storage space, and a bathroom with bath and shower feature. There is also a sunny breakfast nook overlooking the garden.Privacy panels, layout, security gates and sound proofing ensure privacy.The property is shared with someone in the cottage, and the owner occasionally uses the upstairs apartment of the main house.Beagle Watch provide 24 hour panic security, and there are street guards.Use of a tandem parking space in the garage comes with the residence, and tenants have use of front and back gardens, and a separate shared laundry area.Electricity is metered, and tenants share costs of services and city charges. A city gas geyser supplys hot water to the residence. The kitchen has an electric stove, and a small gas counter-top hob.Maintaining the tranquillity of the home and the area is paramount, so a quiet lifestyle is a necessity. Please note that the round rooms do not have built-in cupboards, and that the pool is not in use - it has become a natural pool, drought dependant.To view, contact Katya or Christine Show more Show less
