That’s the news from PVA’s Jaco du Toit, who explains that the large property, which is located at 12 Young Avenue, is ideal for those seeking a commercial or residential address of note.
A single storey property, 12 Young Avenue wouldn’t be out of place in a history book about Johannesburg.
The property is currently being used as offices and comprises an entrance hall, a double lounge, a dining room, kitchen, pantry, a laundry room, five bedrooms/offices, two bathrooms, a patio and staff quarters.
The property also features two adjoining garden cottages, one of which features a lounge/dining room, a kitchenette, a bedroom and a bathroom. The second cottage comprises two bedrooms, a bathroom and kitchen.
The property is tied to several erven, features a large garden and measures 1 980m2.
A fair amount of work is needed to bring out the best in this grand dame but its “well worth it” explains Du Toit, “especially given the size and location of the property”, he adds.
– 12 Young Avenue, Houghton will be auctioned on site on July 17 at 11am. For further information, contact Park Village Auctions on 011-894-375 or go to parkvillageauctions.co.za.
