EXCLUSIVE MANDATE
This spacious, elegant house in Oranjezicht is brimming with original charm. Under the brow of Table Mountain, it is a really versatile property in one of the City Bowl’s most popular and well-located suburbs. Configured over two floors it has been successfully run as a well-established guesthouse by its current owner for over 17 years, and could continue as such.
However, its high ceilings, original features and generous proportions render it ideal for converting it into a beautiful private dwelling, with the additional option of sectioning off a part for short-term rental. Automatic double gates open into the large front driveway, with room for several vehicles. The façade of the property is reflective of its Edwardian heritage, as are some retained features inside. A welcoming entrance hall leads, on the ground floor, to three en-suite bedrooms, a reception room and a dining room with original fireplace for cosy winter days. From here, double doors open onto a tranquil courtyard with established trees that has access to a small kitchenette/laundry. A beautiful old staircase leads you to the upstairs with another en-suite bedroom, a guest bathroom and a lounge which gives access to an expansive sundeck with glorious mountain views. Furthermore there is a separate section with another en-suite bedroom, bathroom and a small lounge which has access to the front-facing balcony.
Oranjezicht is a fantastic location, for multiple reasons. Its tree-lined roads offer relative tranquility, yet are within walking distance of a host of great amenities. It has the mountain as its backdrop, with its trails and breath-taking views, but minutes away are Gardens Shopping Center, Kloof Street, the Labia Cinema, Company Gardens and the City Centre. There are some excellent schools in the locality, and the main roads out of town are quickly accessed. All in all, this property is special indeed and equally appealing, as a going concern, or as a wonderful potential family home where memories can be made. Read more...
