Nestled in the historic heart of Heidelberg, this captivating home once served as a lively livery and bait stable under the ownership of Mr. Alex Doing. With its charming stables, the property is steeped in rich history, echoing the vibrant sounds of a bygone era when horses were central to local commerce and community life. Today, the remnants of this past can be felt in the original architecture and lush grounds, inviting visitors to imagine the lively scenes that once unfolded here.
"Adding to its storied history is the belief that renowned Italian opera singer Emma Renzi (born Emmerentia Scheepers on April 8, 1928) spent her childhood within these walls. Growing up in Heidelberg, she completed her education at Heidelberg Volkskool, nurturing the talent that would later captivate
audiences around the world."
"In 1952, the home transitioned to a new chapter when local minister Lois de Villebois Kuun and his wife, Catherina, purchased it. After Lois's passing, their daughter Ria, a respected nursing sister at the A.G. Visser Hospital, inherited the house. Known affectionately as Sister Muller, Ria lived in the home for many years until her passing on March 30, 2022.
A blue plaque marks the home as a heritage site, showcasing its unique blend of artistic inspiration and community history that continues to resonate today. This home is also positioned in a well-located area for business and has a lot of yard space for building too. Call Soné today to view this beautiful home!
