Some homes ask you to compromise. This one asks you to arrive.

Behind a motorised gate and controlled access in Ashley, Pinetown this two bedroom townhouse opens onto a manicured front lawn, with trimmed small trees and carefully kept plants. Before you step inside, the home has already told you it is looked after.

Wooden French doors open into a super spacious open plan lounge, dining room and kitchen. Grey carpet, wooden skirting and a ceiling fan keep the lounge calm, and an aircon at the dining end keeps it cool. French doors and windows at the front and the back fill the space with light and carry the breeze straight through. This is where Sunday lunches run long and weeknights stay easy.

The kitchen is made for cooking. It has granite countertops, built in cupboards, a double basin sink with a mixer, and a stove connection ready for your appliance. Wooden French windows keep the cook in the conversation and in the light.

The primary bedroom is the larger of the two, with a built in wardrobe, a ceiling fan and large French windows. The second bedroom has built in cupboards, a ceiling fan and French windows onto the back with a wooden sill. It suits a child, a guest or a home office.

The full bathroom has a bathtub, a shower, a basin and a toilet, with tiled floors and tiled splash walls. It has wooden French windows and a burglar guard.

Security is part of the design. There are burglar gates on the front and back doors and burglar guards on the windows, behind the complex’s gate and controlled access. The lockup garage has a rear entrance at the back of the house. The back garden is a blank canvas, ready to be redeveloped into a braai area, a patio or a play space. There is a washing line for everyday use, and the roof is tiled.

The position is the real prize.

You are next to Forest Road, which runs parallel to the M13, and two minutes from the M19. You are five minutes from the N3 via Richmond Road, and five minutes from Knowles Spar. Pinetown and Westmead are within walking distance, and Hatton Estate is next door. Gelofte Skool is your neighbour, and you are close to schools of every kind and to places of worship.

For a first home, a smart downsize or an investment, R999 000 buys a gated address with a lockup garage and a very short commute to everything.
