One of Centurion's older, settled family suburbs — established trees over quiet streets, and a housing stock that mixes an original home with a newer glass extension more often than not.
Established trees, and two window eras on one property
Eldoraigne developed from the 1970s onward on freehold stands ranging roughly 350–2,600m², alongside townhouses, duplexes and some newer clusters and security estates. The Hennops River forms the suburb's northern boundary, with the Hennops River Nature Reserve alongside it, and Zwartkops Raceway just to the north.
The recurring pattern here is an original structure with a later-added open-plan kitchen or living wing at the back — so a single property often mixes two distinct window eras. Older front rooms and bedrooms sit under mature tree shade with smaller original openings; rear extensions typically bring in much larger sliding-door glazing facing the garden, catching more direct afternoon sun and needing its own, separate sun-control treatment from the front of the house.
Some of Eldoraigne's main roads, including Saxby Avenue and Willem Botha, carry converted office and business frontages rather than purely residential ones — a detail worth knowing if you're quoting a mixed-use property rather than a straightforward family home.
Front of house, back of house — two briefs
Original bedrooms and front rooms usually just need blockout roller blinds, or a cellular honeycomb blind where the original single glazing lets the cold in every winter morning. The newer rear extension is a different conversation — wide sliding glass facing the garden, sunscreen fabric to manage the afternoon glare, and often a folding-arm awning over the patio it opens onto.
Bathrooms, kitchens and sculleries across both eras usually get an aluminium venetian — moisture-tolerant and easy to keep clean.
