Located on a corner stand, this spacious, elegant and comfortable home, offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of the Montagu West history. The extra-large lounge previously housed the Oudam (as Montagu West was known) bottle store. Although the business closed many years ago, the property still has business rights with a ‘Business 2’ zoning - for the primary use as a shop or with consent, offices.
The house with its high ceilings, still retains its original wooden floors, door and window frames. There are 4 bedrooms with 3 en-suite bathrooms. The main bedroom has a walk-in cupboard, an air-conditioner, and its own private patio. There are also 2 lounges, an entertainment area with a guest toilet, and a kitchen with a separate scullery.
The main formal lounge is
approximately 50m2 in size and opens up onto a large front veranda, a perfect entertainment area. And apart from previously being a bottle store, this later became a popular venue for small concerts and soirees held by some of the previous owners. The second lounge with a fireplace, is less formal and is currently used as a TV room and just a place to relax. There are inter-leading doors into the entertainment cum bar area and the back patio where the lovely garden and mountain views can be enjoyed.
The kitchen is ultra-spacious with lots of cupboard space, and there is a separate scullery with additional storage space.
At the end of the large back landscaped garden, is a private 1-bedroom cottage which is connected to the garage, with an en-suite bathroom and kitchenette, ideal for extra income or guests. The property has a double garage, a double carport, and a cellar for storage.
Extra benefits include a solar geyser, 10 x 400kw solar panels, a 5kw invertor, an 8kw battery, a 1,500-litre water tank, 3 x water filters for the whole house, and a burglar alarm.
Some furniture pieces in the big lounge are included in the price, and a list of items can be provided to interested buyers.
The house is in immaculate condition both inside and out…. an absolute gem!
