Description

Freehold family living with income potential | Mill Park, R3,295m.
Set on a generous 1,012m2 erf in one of Gqeberha''s most established and sought-after suburbs, this full-title home at 17 Chelmsford Avenue offers space, privacy and genuine versatility close to the CBD and Walmer''s amenity belt.
The main house opens into bright, generously proportioned living areas a spacious lounge, separate dining room, and a dedicated entertainment and games room that flows onto an enclosed patio and verandah, ideal for both everyday family life and serious entertaining. The main house comprises four bedrooms one currently set up as a snug home office and two bathrooms.
A standout feature of this property is the self-contained income earning cottage complete with its own kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and lounge. Whether you''re after rental income, a space for extended family, or a private home office or studio, this adds real flexibility that''s hard to find at this price point in Mill Park.
Outside, the lifestyle appeal continues: a swimming pool, established garden including its own vegetable garden, and a covered patio-braai area built for long weekends. Parking is exceptional secure paved parking for two vehicles on the driveway, plus a separate four-vehicle garage and workshop, offering space for a growing car collection, trailers, or a home workshop.
Sustainability runs through this property as literally as the stream that helps feed it. A watercourse borders the erf, supporting a lush, water-fed garden that stays green well beyond what municipal irrigation alone could manage including the established vegetable garden. Rainwater harvesting and a backup water tank add a second layer of self-sufficiency, while a backup battery-inverter system keeps the home running through load-shedding without missing a beat. For a buyer looking at semi-off-grid living without sacrificing a central, established suburb, this is a rare combination in Mill Park.
