The ultimate 145 m2 penthouse in the iconic 1902 property known as The Wellington Fruit Growers Building is now available for purchase. This is urban chic at its very best.
Set high up against the backdrop of Table Mountain and Lion's Head in Cape Town's creative hub, three minutes from Wale Street, The Company Gardens and with the Iziko Museum almost on the door step. The Taj Hotel and 5* Labotessa Hotel around the corner and of course, FYN restaurant which features in the top 50 restaurants in the world just meters away; this is the City Centre at its best, for the best!
The facade of the building boasts carved terracotta masonry of the bygone Victorian era and much later in 2005 a renovation project added the penthouse floor. There are only 15 apartments in this mixed use building; the lower floors tend to be offices and, as you go higher, really wonderful things happen. Inside this penthouse you will be beguiled by double volume heights, masses of natural light and a combination of rich parquet flooring and tile.
Step into the open plan living, dining and kitchen areas which span out and towards a balcony which stretches the width of the building and gives you those moments to create memories to live and work in the City. There is a built in home office / study area for that work / home lifestyle option. The penthouse consists of two bedrooms, two bathrooms; the master ensuite also provides a generous dressing room and bespoke bathroom with bath and walk in shower and, there are additional storage cupboards to house the laundry of the penthouse. This sale also includes two parking bays on the fifth floor at The Adderley Building therefore giving owners access to the pool and gym facilities as a perk.
The historical Wellington Fruit Growers Building is a well-known heritage landmark between Longmarket and Darling Streets in downtown Cape Town. It was originally built in 1902 as can be seen by the date carved into the terracotta coloured masonry on it's facade.
