Step into a piece of history with this beautifully renovated Victorian home in the heart of Observatory. Seamlessly blending period charm with modern convenience, this house retains its exquisite wooden floors and soaring ceilings, all while offering contemporary updates for effortless living.
The front porch with it's window framed by shutters and a weathered wooden door steeped in 130 years of history, opens into an inviting entrance hall. From here, the open-plan living and dining space unfolds, bathed in natural light. A traditional working fireplace creates a cozy retreat on winter afternoons, while French doors lead to a private, courtyard, protected from the Cape winds, ideal for summer entertaining and braais.
A high quality kitchen, installed in 2020, is practical and contemporary, yet in keeping with the house, there are plenty of worktops and cupboards,...
Step into a piece of history with this beautifully renovated Victorian home in the heart of Observatory. Seamlessly blending period charm with modern convenience, this house retains its exquisite wooden floors and soaring ceilings, all while offering contemporary updates for effortless living.
The front porch with it's window framed by shutters and a weathered wooden door steeped in 130 years of history, opens into an inviting entrance hall. From here, the open-plan living and dining space unfolds, bathed in natural light. A traditional working fireplace creates a cozy retreat on winter afternoons, while French doors lead to a private, courtyard, protected from the Cape winds, ideal for summer entertaining and braais.
A high quality kitchen, installed in 2020, is practical and contemporary, yet in keeping with the house, there are plenty of worktops and cupboards, an integrated oven, a gas hob, and plumbing for a dishwasher. The aluminium windows and door overlook and access the courtyard while flooding the kitchen with natural light.
The spacious master bedroom, located at the front of the house, has floor-to-ceiling built-in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. A second double bedroom, with French doors to the courtyard, which is currently used as a study, sits at the rear of the property and enjoys its own en-suite with a classic roll-top bath. Thoughtful design touches in this home include a clever laundry cupboard, with plumbing, in the this bathroom.
With access from two streets, this home offers secure off-street parking behind automated garage doors at the rear, in addition on-street parking is available at the front of the house. Other features include a new pitched roof, a water heater which services the kitchen and second bathroom, a 1000-litre water storage tank and an outdoor shed.
Tucked away on a quiet street, within walking distance of Observatory’s vibrant cafés, independent shops, and popular eateries, it is the perfect balance of tranquility and convenience. Enjoy easy access to arterial routes, the new Riverlands development, Groote Schuur Hospital, and the University of Cape Town.
