A Family-Friendly Lifestyle in Solara Estate in Sonstraal Heights
Family-orientated, own-title estate where community living, convenience and a relaxed lifestyle come together.
The free-standing homes are positioned around a spacious communal park, creating a lovely central gathering point for residents. Children have plenty to enjoy, with a jungle gym, slides, swings and even a trampoline. Throughout the year, the estate also hosts a number of special events for the little ones, including Easter, Halloween and Christmas celebrations.
Solara is pet-friendly, with no specific restrictions on pets other than dogs needing to be kept on a leash when using the communal park.
The estate is not a security complex in the traditional sense, but residents benefit from several security measures, including a well-maintained electric perimeter fence, strategically positioned cameras, Cell2Gate access control and remote access to the estate. The surrounding neighbourhood also has a strong and active neighbourhood watch, with the various complexes communicating and working together to maintain safety in the area.
As an own-title estate, homeowners enjoy greater freedom when it comes to their properties. Whether you are considering adding a swimming pool or extending your home, alterations are possible subject to the necessary City of Cape Town building plans and adherence to the estate's architectural guidelines and colour scheme.
The Homeowners' Association is well established, with strong management and financials. Further information can be requested after viewing. The face-brick construction throughout the estate also means very little exterior maintenance. Each home has its own prepaid electricity and water meters, while the weekly refuse collection takes place every Wednesday, with bins collected, cleaned and returned to the individual homes.
Another major attraction is the location. Coble Walk Shopping Centre is within walking distance and has recently undergone a refurbishment. Residents have convenient access to Checkers, Woolworths, Clicks, various takeaway outlets, Vida Café, excellent restaurants and Planet Fitness, with possible rooftop padel courts adding to the appeal.
**THE HOME**
Offering three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a study, multiple living areas, an enclosed braai room and a double garage, this home ticks many of the boxes for comfortable family living.
The entrance leads into a welcoming living area, with the lounge and dining room offering separate yet connected spaces. This layout provides flexibility for everyday family life as well as entertaining.
The open-plan kitchen is fitted with granite-look quartz countertops, a built-in oven, hob and extractor fan. There is ample cupboard space, while the separate scullery accommodates a dishwasher and features a double sink. A back door with a security gate allows for additional ventilation and convenient access outside.
The accommodation comprises three bedrooms. The main bedroom is tiled and offers generous built-in cupboard space, together with a full en-suite bathroom featuring a separate bath and shower.
The remaining two bedrooms are fitted with built-in cupboards and carpets, and share a full family bathroom, also offering a separate bath and shower. A window provides natural light and ventilation.
For those who enjoy entertaining or require additional space, the home offers an enclosed braai room, a separate study and a dedicated lounge apart from the dining area. Whether you need a work-from-home setup, a quiet reading space or somewhere for the family to gather, the layout offers plenty of options.
The double garage is fitted with an automated garage door. The washing machine is conveniently positioned in the garage, with an additional door providing direct access to the washing line.
Further features include aluminium windows and sliding doors, burglar bars on the windows, and an alarm system. An irrigation system is also present, although both the alarm and irrigation have not been used recently and are sold as is, with their working condition unconfirmed.
Outside, the front garden is neat and established, creating an attractive first impression. The private backyard, shaded by beautiful established trees, offers a wonderful foundation for an outdoor retreat. With a little attention and landscaping, this space could be brought back to life and made into something special. There is certainly no shortage of potential or space to work with.
**AN INVESTMENT WORTH CONSIDERING**
The property is currently occupied by long-term tenants, with a signed lease agreement in place until 2031. This presents an opportunity for investors looking for an established rental arrangement.
In Durbanville, we like to say you get paid twice: through your monthly rental income and the long-term capital growth that the area has historically delivered. It is this combination that continues to make property in the Durbanville area an attractive investment proposition.
Further details regarding the existing lease can be provided upon enquiry.
