Stunning home, guesthouse or apartments, this property has so much to offer!
Close to the city bowl and UCT, in a superb location with stunning views of the harbour and mountains, this delightful North-facing property is a must see! This spacious house could be reinstated as a guesthouse, sectionalized into apartments or used as a luxurious family home.
This free-standing home currently offers open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining, 8 large bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms, guest toilet, laundry/scullery, solar power, indoor pool, double garage and secure parking for 5 cars, basement storage room, storage shed, garden and more.
Downstairs consists of a grand entrance hall, indoor pool, living areas including kitchen, adjacent scullery and laundry, access to the double garage, guest toilet and three of the bedrooms with ensuites. The open-plan kitchen and dining room has an 8 seater table and a large marble topped island for creating feasts for family and friends. The front bedroom opens up onto the patio with its built-in braai and would be ideal as a further living space. The middle bedroom has a separate entrance, walk-in dressing room, sunroom and its own living area so it could easily be turned into a spacious, self-contained flat. The third bedroom on this level is smaller and would be best suited to domestic quarters.
Upstairs the home offers 5 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. The largest of the upstairs bedrooms also has a stunning fireplace, lounge area, balcony with mountain views, dressing room or office area and ensuite bathroom. The front bedrooms upstairs both have access to a wide, enclosed balcony that runs across the front of the house with simply stunning views of the harbour, Devil’s Peak Mountain and across Table Bay to Table View. The back bedroom on the right has a side terrace with views of the mountains and glimpses of the ocean.
In addition, this home offers a double garage with direct access into the house, off street parking for a further 4 cars in tandem. A solar power system is included with 6kwh solar panels, 15 kWh batteries and a 12 kWh Sunsync inverter.
Underneath the braai patio there is a very useful large storeroom and another storeroom on the side of the residence. There are also two 5000 litre rainwater tanks. The property comes preapproved for a third-floor penthouse of 191sqm to be built.
The location makes it extremely convenient, in the centre of University Estate opposite the park with jungle gym and outside gym. Easy access to either Phillip Kgosana Drive or the N2 makes it 5km from the V&A Waterfront and 15km from the airport. Several good schools and UCT are just a short drive away. So much on offer and so many possibilities
