Chic Victorian Terrace

This beautifully renovated Victorian terrace offers a stylish city retreat for a couple or small family, perfectly positioned on quiet, tree-lined Derwent Road, just minutes from the top of Kloof Street’s celebrated restaurants, urban parks and everyday amenities.

The ground floor features a secure off-street parking for a small car with direct access into the high-ceilinged lounge and dining room. These spaces are divided by the staircase, highlighted by bespoke iron balustrades and bathed in natural light from the skylight above. Double doors from the dining room open onto a small balcony overlooking a charming herb courtyard and a neatly tucked-away laundry adjacent to the kitchen.

A few steps down, past a guest cloakroom with shower, lies the well-appointed kitchen offering generous storage, a gas hob with electric oven, extractor fan and space for a dishwasher alongside the double sink. Double doors lead to an entertainer’s courtyard with built-in seating and a braai, shaded by a mature granadilla vine-covered pergola.

Upstairs, a spacious pyjama lounge or study enjoys far-reaching city views from its balcony and separates two luxurious bedroom suites. The south-facing suite features an en-suite shower bathroom and opens onto a balcony with breathtaking Table Mountain views. The north-facing suite enjoys a balcony overlooking the City Bowl towards the harbour, with a bathroom offering a bath and overhead shower.

In addition to its exceptional location, generous proportions and sweeping views, the home retains original Oregon pine floors and timeless bespoke-made iron security gates throughout, and boasts newly renovated bathrooms and a brand-new roof. With excellent security, low-maintenance potted gardens and inviting entertainment areas, this is an ideal lock-up-and-go or chic pied-à-terre to enjoy from the moment you arrive.
