First time on the market in 23 years
Nearly a quarter of a century ago Lou and his wife down-sized to this quiet, solid, no nonsense property near an arm of Millhouse Reserve. With a floor area of 140m² it had more than enough space for just the two of them, and with only 2 big bedrooms you can imagine how generous the dimensions are - in fact it feels like a much larger home. Even the double garage is conveniently over-sized, and there's storage for Africa.
The free-standing property lies nicely to the north, and outside the lounge ranchsliders is a substantial entertainer's courtyard or sunny play area. Lou has kept garden maintenance to a minimum - ideal for busy people - and of course a handy location not far from Howick Village and good schools would be great for the smaller family.
From this strategic cul de sac you can also pick up a pathway through the area's wonderful network of reserves, and the kids could walk to popular Elim School without even crossing a road. And of course morning joggers will enjoy exploring kilometres of all-weather tracks criss-crossing this safe and friendly neighbourhood.
Now 93, Lou feels that it's time to let the younger generations have a go.
