Description

Linden Under R 2mn. Classic Farmhouse Charm on a Big Corner Stand

R1,800,000 buys you into Linden. That's the headline. Full title homes in this suburb average R2.70M, and stock under R2M rarely comes up.

An old farmhouse-style home on a north-facing 945 m² corner stand, walking distance from 1st Avenue. High ceilings. Wide rooms. Original wooden floors through the main bedroom, second bedroom and passage. Steel-framed windows with cottage pane detailing. Corrugated iron roof. A covered porch entrance you'll actually use.

Two bedrooms, both with built-in cupboards and wooden floors. A full bathroom and a separate toilet. Open-plan lounge, dining room and family room flowing onto a patio. The kitchen has already been done - granite tops, electric stove, under-counter oven, extractor, with a scullery and pantry off it. Four parking bays. A storeroom and separate domestic quarters with their own bathroom, sitting there as a study, workshop or teen room for whoever wants them.

Single storey, no steps, wheelchair accessible. Fully walled with a perimeter wall and its own driveway. Pet friendly, on a garden big enough for a dog to be a dog.

The corner position and the size of the stand are what make this more than a first home. There is room to extend, room to add, room to rethink the layout entirely. The house is over sixty years old, so any alteration or demolition needs a permit from the Gauteng heritage authority under the National Heritage Resources Act. That's a process, not a wall - plenty of Linden's best homes have been through it. Bring your architect, do the homework, and know what you're buying before you buy it.

At R1.8M and a low transfer duty band, this is one of the cheaper doors into a suburb that people spend years trying to get into. Blairgowrie Primary is 460 m away. Hoërskool Linden 790 m. Laerskool Louw Geldenhuys just over a kilometre, De La Salle Holy Cross 1.3 km, Pinnacle College Linden 1.8 km, Hoërskool Randburg 2.4 km. Pick n Pay Express, Linpark, Linden Lanes and Linden Square are all inside a kilometre and a half. 4th Avenue keeps the coffee and the restaurants. A new mosque is going up on 1st Avenue. Mediclinic Sandton is 8 km out. Randburg, Rosebank, Sandton, Melville and the Parks are all short runs from the gate. Linden is a suburb people move into and don't leave.
