Two Bedroom Apartment in Parktown North

This rare top-floor corner apartment is the one that doesn't feel like everyone else's. A double-volume ceiling and clerestory window flood the home with light all year round, catch the winter sun, and turn the living area into the best seat in the house for watching the moon rise over Johannesburg.

The layout is generous and sensible: two bedrooms and two bathrooms, main en-suite, with an open-plan kitchen and living area that spills onto a large private balcony. Both bedrooms have built-in cupboards, there's a separate linen cupboard, and a grocery cupboard big enough to actually matter. Parking is equally well sorted, with one covered bay and one additional allocated bay, plus plenty of visitors parking for when people come round.

Outside your door, a swimming pool and beautifully maintained gardens are kept that way by a gardening team on site five days a week. Security is genuinely round the clock, with guards on site twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, backed by armed response, solar-powered cameras, and electric fencing. The building's financials are excellent too, run to a standard you'll struggle to find elsewhere in this market.

Being on the top floor as a corner unit means real privacy and views out over the city, which is rare this close to everything Rosebank has to offer. And it really is close to everything: Zoo Lake and Hugh Wyndham Park for weekend mornings, more coffee shops than you'll ever need including several Starbucks and several Motherland Coffee outlets, and groceries covered by a Pick n Pay, three Checkers, four Woolworths Food stores, and a Superspar. There are multiple cinemas nearby, along with Rosebank Mall, The Zone, and Hyde Park, plus Virgin Active Rosebank for the gym run. When you want to eat out properly, Marble, The Pantry, and La Boqueria are all close by. The Gautrain Rosebank Station and the Gautrain bus network are just 100 metres from your door. There's also talk underway of a borehole and backup water supply being added for the building.

Why keep paying R12,000 a month in rent when that money could be going into an upmarket home you actually own, in one of Joburg's best-connected and most walkable pockets, Parktown North?
