Two levels, two balconies and 161m² of living space on Gleneagles Road - this penthouse-style apartment is ideally suited to buyers wanting to live in one of Johannesburg's most walkable suburbs. Whether you're looking for a long-term rental investment or a home of your own, this is worth a viewing.

This is one of Gleneagles Road's mixed-use buildings - shops and eateries at street level, apartments above - so you're literally living on top of Greenside's trendy culinary strip, with Doppio Zero, The Fussy Vegan, Kimono Bae, Spiceburg and Narang all within a couple of minutes' walk.

Despite the position, the unit itself is set within the complex facing away from the strip and looking out over Greenside's established trees, so it's quiet rather than noisy. Woolworths Food, a boutique, a hairdresser, a pharmacy and more are all within walking distance too, along with Emmarentia Dam and Botanical Gardens a short drive away, and Rosebank, Parkhurst and Melville minutes by car.

A spiral staircase links the two levels. Downstairs is a guest cloakroom, open-plan living, dining and a kitchen that opens onto a balcony through aluminium stacking doors, with a built-in cocktail bar - illuminated glass shelving, drinks storage and counter seating - that makes this a genuine entertainer's apartment. Upstairs, both bedrooms are en suite, and the main bedroom has its own private balcony.

The kitchen is fitted with a Smeg gas hob and oven, and both the hob and the living area's gas heater run off piped Egoli gas. Both bedrooms are air-conditioned. Finishes include parquet flooring downstairs, laminated flooring upstairs, tiled bathrooms, aluminium windows and doors, and blinds throughout.

A separate 5m² storeroom is included, along with covered parking in a secure complex of just 11 units.
