Bloemfontein, Waverley
You don’t leave places like this. You send texts like “something came up” and what came up is your couch, a blanket, and a suspiciously long Netflix session you swear was only going to be one episode.
The entrance does that quiet flex thing. High ceilings. Proper foyer. A stained-glass door that clearly has more personality than most people’s entire interiors. Then the parquet floors start showing off and suddenly you’re walking slower for no reason. This is the good stuff.
Downstairs is basically a masterclass in space. There’s a lounge, another lounge, a dining area, and yet another spot to sit and pretend you’re reading while actually scrolling. The fireplace sits there looking important, waiting for winter like it knows it’s the main character. Two separate workspaces mean you can run a business, a side hustle, or just look busy during Zoom calls.
The kitchen? Oh, this part slaps. Gas stove. Big counters. A central island that will become everyone’s unofficial meeting point. There’s a walk-in pantry big enough to hide snacks from your family. A separate scullery and laundry that quietly handle the chaos so the main kitchen can stay photogenic.
Upstairs is where arguments start, specifically about who gets which bedroom. Five of them. All generous. All bright. All staring out over the garden like they’ve got nothing to prove. The main bedroom casually drops a full en-suite like it’s no big deal, while the rest share another full bathroom that’s just as put together.
Outside is where weekends go to lose structure. There’s a massive enclosed 60m² patio with a built-in braai, which means Sunday lunches accidentally turn into Sunday nights. It looks over the pool and garden like it was designed purely for compliments. The garden itself is lush enough to make you feel like you should own a wide-brim hat and say things like “the roses are thriving this season.” Borehole plus JoJo tank keep everything green without your water bill filing complaints.
And then, casually, there’s a full one-bedroom flatlet with its own lounge and bathroom. Guests, extended family, or rental income, your bond’s worst nightmare.
Double automated garage. Triple carport. Storeroom. Staff quarters. Quiet cul-de-sac. Sandstone exterior that looks like it’s been important since 1987 and knows it.
Some houses try to impress you.
This one assumes you’re already impressed and carries on being excellent anyway.
Bloem is my dorp. Property is my game.
