Victorian Grandeur

This Victorian mansion is tucked away in a quiet location in the very heart of Oranjezicht, where tall, established trees line the lane and rows of historic homes create a sense of history. Beautifully maintained and rich in character, the home immediately enchants with its soaring ceilings, Oregon strip floors, crisp white walls, accented with colour, and two working fireplaces that anchor the living spaces with warmth and soul. Leafy and peaceful, this is a sanctuary in the city.

A beautiful front door welcomes you into a hallway that leads to an open-plan living area offering a lounge, dining area and kitchen. The dining area has an ornate fireplace to create warmth throughout the living area on a cold winters’ night. Double doors lead to a secluded courtyard with a view of Table Mountain, the perfect spot for morning coffee. The lounge adjoins the dining area and offers double doors to a smaller leafy courtyard with a huge sash window overlooking the front patio, letting dappled afternoon sunshine in.

A dividing kitchen counter from the dining room makes for easy entertaining. Open shelves, fitted cupboards, a gas stove and a deep porcelain basin makes this a chef’s dream. A large laundry with ample storage leads off the kitchen, with cottage pane windows giving a view of the mountain.

A formal lounge boasts another fireplace and a west facing window offers a view of the charming lane.

A secluded entrance to the living area gives access to a guest bathroom with a basin, toilet and shower and a small bedroom with fitted cupboards and doors to the courtyard , creating a perfect guest suite if needed.

Up a grand flight of stairs, bathed in natural light from the sky light, to a large landing, giving access to three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The first bedroom captures the morning light with sun streaming through the window. The family bathroom is updated with a shower, toilet and basin. The second bedroom looks into the trees through a sash window and offers a decorative fireplace. The main suite has a large bedroom, with an adjoining sunroom, a bathroom boasting a free standing bath and a shower and a fitted, walk-through dressing area.

A short walk to the Gardens Centre, de Waal park, and wonderful shops and restaurants. This home offers the luxury of a village lifestyle in the city. Secure with parking for two cars. In excellent condition. A unique opportunity.
