Bongile Cumbe commented:

"Love the hardwood floors, the arches at the front entrance and the white walls throughout. It's very spacious too. But the price y'all 😭 you can also tell it's an old house, so the foundations are really strong. Also, Kenilworth is a nice area."

Lele Zondani wrote:

"It has good bones; this would be a developer's dream, but there’s no way this should be priced that high."

mohdotnet was stunned:

"Is it just me, or is anyone else failing to see where the R9 million is? I was expecting swimming pools, furnished, a tennis court."

Karma88😵‍💫 argued:

"Nothing about this house is R9 million 💀 You are better off taking your 9 million to Constantia for something way more modern."
