Property description

Step into a different era… where space was generous, proportions were bold, and homes were designed to be lived in. 

Set in the iconic Lauriston Court in Houghton Estate, this 141m² first-floor corner apartment offers a rare blend of character, comfort, and quiet nostalgia. All wrapped into a move-in-ready home. 

From the moment you enter, you’re welcomed by a thoughtfully designed layout where each space unfolds as its own experience. The expansive lounge, framed by a large bay window, is flooded with natural light creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the day. Original parquet flooring underfoot and double-volume ceilings enhance the sense of openness and timeless appeal. 

The open-plan dining area and kitchen form the heart of the home. It is a natural space for connection, conversation, and everyday living. The kitchen offers ample cupboard space and practicality, seamlessly integrated into the flow of the apartment. 

A spacious study leads off the lounge and dining area, ideal for working from home, creative pursuits, or simply a quiet retreat with a view. 

This apartment offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The main bedroom is truly generous in scale, featuring large windows and ample built-in cupboards. It is complemented by a full en-suite bathroom with bath, basin, and toilet. A second bathroom, equally well-positioned and filled with natural light, offers a shower, basin, and toilet. 

Beyond the apartment itself, the building tells its own story; a time when Lauriston Court was one of the most sought-after addresses in Johannesburg. Today, it stands as a beautifully maintained reminder of that era, offering both charm and solidity that is hard to find. 

End your day on the rooftop, where Johannesburg sunsets stretch across the skyline. Best enjoyed with your favourite drink in hand. And if wellness is more your cup-of-tea, I am told that if you make your way to the rooftop at 5pm in the afternoons, you can join the resident yoga class. Truly magnificent.
