This remarkable home has a heritage facade that contrasts with a vibrant interior. In the words of the owner: ‘I approached our Old Lady, as I call the Victorian villa, with respect and love. I kept the beauty and uncovered the hidden, added new – and gave the rooms of the house their own individual style.’ Soaring ceilings and vast living spaces makes for luxurious city living.
The massive house is secluded by a lush garden featuring a fountain set in paving with a forest of tall trees and shrubs. A wrap around balcony is the perfect place to soak up the natural beauty.
Enter through the front door into a wide hallway with fabulous glass light fittings and fabric covered walls. Off the hall is a magnificent living area with a fireplace and a music library. To the left the master suite has a character fireplace and a striking en-suite bathroom. Additionally, there is an en-suite bedroom, two further bedrooms on the ground level and a child's fitted loft room. There is a third family bathroom. A dining area at the south end of the house features a curved wooden ceiling with Table Mountain views and a magnificent chandelier. The cosy kitchen is striking with access to a courtyard garden. The roof offers a deck for suntanning and soaking up the incredible view of the mountain. There is off street parking for two cars.
The home is centrally located, with De Waal Park and Kloof Street a short walk away. Security is excellent with an alarm, shutters and a security fence. Long term tenant required.
