Carpe Diem

Opportunity knocks but once.

This welcoming, top floor heritage apartment offers its new owner’s the prospect of securing a slice of Cape Town City Bowl real estate.

Truly a space that is to be experienced in person. Upon entering one feels as though one has stepped into a free-standing Victorian home. Lovingly restored and refurbished the apartment has fantastic bones, good proportions and a practical layout which provides for a seamless flow throughout. The understated, timeless elegance of high ceilings, skylights and original sash windows allow for an abundance of natural light and space.
The kitchen is designed with entertainment in mind- a chef’s delight! Ample storage and counter tops allow for preparation whilst enjoying intimate gatherings amongst friends. A gas hob completes this picture. Dine alfresco on the wide balcony amidst the treetops with Table Mountain as a backdrop. Also the perfect spot for a morning coffee whist appreciating the established architecture of the surrounding neighbourhood.
Two splendidly spacious bedrooms with built in cupboards offer the perfect respite; per chance to dream, to read, to think, to rest.The second with magnificent views of Lions Head and bespoke vintage wallpaper imported from London.

The calming atmosphere of the living room complete with original wood burning fireplace provide a sanctuary to work from home or binge-watch your favourite series snuggled on the sofa with a four-legged family member. There is potential to add even more value to this charming character home by converting an expansive loft into further living space or an additional bedroom should you so desire.
A Victoriana bathroom and original brass fittings, wooden floorboards and fixtures throughout complete the narrative.

Only one of two, the apartment is located in the sought-after, leafy suburb of Oranjezicht at the foot of Table Mountain; a stone’s throw from the Molteno reservoir, De Waal Park, Cape Town Medi Clinic and the convenience of Garden Centre for all your shopping needs. Grow or buy your own organic vegetables at the Orangezicht Farm on Upper orange Street and draw fresh spring water from the Bradwell well!

A prime location in an established, close- knit community of families, lifelong friends, dog lovers, nature enthusiasts, artisanal coffee shops and bespoke galleries. Close to all the top City Bowl schools. Proudly Capetonian.

This apartment offers that coveted, old world charm whilst providing the peace of mind of having all the modern amenities of 21st century living within walking distance, literally.

A golden opportunity awaits.
