2 Bedroom Townhouse Sold in Thornhill Estate

Thornhill Estate: Self-standing home at The Cottages, overlooking the greenbelt

Are you a nature lover who’s looking for a place to nest? Here’s your chance to live in Thornhill Estate at an accessible price. Enjoy the best of indoor-outdoor living – with sweeping views over a massive greenbelt – in this perfectly positioned self-standing two-bedroom home in The Cottages complex, located in the heart of Thornhill Estate, Modderfontein.

This home defined by superlatives and exceptions. To start, it’s located in Thornhill, known for its pristine parks, beautiful homes, and relaxed community-focused lifestyle. And then there’s its location within Thornhill; its back garden, complete with its own gate, provides access to a pristine greenbelt. It’s just one of only four stand-alone homes at The Cottages complex, and one of only ten units that has a garage; and, at 93sqm, it’s significantly larger than most of its neighbours (most are 71 to 75sqm). Its perfect position informs its unique selling point, offering what just might be one of the best views in the estate – enjoy a morning espresso, or weekend lunch or dinner on the covered terrace, while taking in the relaxing sights and sounds of nature.

Now step inside. What you’ll find is a home that’s big enough to provide you with all the space you’ll need, but small enough to provide an easy-care lifestyle – a two-bedroom, two-bathroom (master en-suite) home with a generously proportioned kitchen opening onto an open-plan dining and living area that in turn opens onto a covered patio that overlooks the garden and greenbelt. The master bedroom, with en-suite bathroom, offers loads of cupboard space. The kitchen has space for a large fridge and two under-counter appliance s, with ample storage and counter space, complete with a three-seater breakfast counter. There is a lock up garage included in the sale and a dedicated carport.

Living in Thornhill Estate means you’ll enjoy a relaxed, easy lifestyle – a neighbourhood where children play on the streets and residents take after-dinner strolls. You’ll find open doors and gates, low picket fences, well-tended gardens, playgrounds, and parks – including a dog park as well as Central Park with its Sunday morning yoga class – two swimming pools, a 4km perimeter walking trail and a clubhouse.

The neighbourhood is perfectly positioned in the heart of historical Modderfontein, an area that is quickly becoming known as ‘the Irene of Johannesburg,’ combining the best of a relaxed country lifestyle and the convenience of city-smart living. The Flamingo shopping centre (Checkers, Starbucks, Dis-Chem, and Woolies Food) is within easy walking distance, located across the street from Thornhill’s control-access entrance; the Modderfontein Reserve, a golf course, padel courts, gyms and mountain bike trails are all within five minutes’ drive. Laidback Modderfontein is mentally detached from the mad frenzy of Joburg yet remains physically integrated to it, with easy access to Gauteng’s extensive freeway system. It’s the best of country living in the big city.
