History comes alive in this restored family home

Visionary owners have tenderly refurbished a characterful heritage home in Parkview, Joburg "I immediately felt a strange and wonderful connection with this house. It's as if we were meant to live here," says educational publisher Philanie Jooste of her Parkview heritage home.The house was dilapidated and derelict when she and her husband, mining engineer Tertius van Niekerk, first saw it.
