Farmhouse in the City

Set against the backdrop of Table Mountain, this charming Victorian home has a true farmhouse feel.
Be welcomed by the wide, columned red steps leading to a covered stoep that spans the full length of the house. With inviting seating areas on both sides, it’s the kind of place that immediately makes you want to sit down for a cup of tea on the stoep of this gracious old lady.

The generous lounge, complete with a fireplace, faces north and flows into the spacious eat-in kitchen, with gorgeous views of Table Mountain. The dining area has an indoor braai and built-in seating surrounded by glass walls that maximise the views. In summer they can all be opened to create a seamless flow into the courtyard, which includes an inviting outdoor dining area beneath a
canopy of mature vines that provide both shade and ambience. An outdoor braai completes this lovely entertainment space.

Along the passage are three bedrooms positioned side by side, two of which are ensuite, all with ample floor-to-ceiling built-in
cupboards. The north facing master suite is a true showstopper, both the bedroom and bathroom are generous in size. A separate family bathroom with a walk-in shower also serves as a guest loo.

The lower level provides abundant storage, along with a spacious one-bedroom apartment, ideal as a home office, a studying child or live-in staff, or as an income-generating rental. The property includes a large single garage and off-street parking for two
additional cars. Security is excellent, and includes a new alarm system, burglar bars, and indoor security gates. The garden offers ample space and opportunity:  it’s easy to imagine a stunning elevated pool deck on the north side, above the garage with lovely views.

This is a rare opportunity to own a historic home in the heart of Oranjezicht. Contact us today for a private viewing, we’d love to show you around.
