This heritage home offers a sought after Cape Town City lifestyle, with charming Dunkley Square offering popular restaurants just around the corner, and the CBD and Gardens Centre a short walk away. The house is referenced in ‘The Old Buildings of the Cape’, being built in 1895 with ‘a half timbered gable and three plaster surround French windows onto good caste iron verandas’. This contrasts the striking contemporary interior.
Enter the house into an incredible living area with soaring ceilings and great light from industrial windows at one end and beautiful sash windows at the other: virtually divided into a lounge, a fully fitted open plan kitchen and a dining area, seamlessly opening to the garden, which is lush with a lawn and a braai area. A guest toilet and indoor and outdoor storage along the side of the house completes the level.
Up an imposing wooden flight of stairs to the second level with a very high ceiling. The main bedroom faces north with a large slide back window and a feature see-through floor at one end. There is a slick en-suite bathroom and a separate toilet plus built in cupboards. The second bedroom has a fireplace (not used at the moment), built in cupboards and a door to the balcony. The third bedroom has a fold back wall for flexibility of use as well as built in cupboards and a door to the balcony. There is a family bathroom and a laundry alcove. The roof loft area is undeveloped but offers a 3m high space to create a room with views of the city and Table Mountain, currently used for storage. On street parking is easy and the house is very secure, with Gardens Blockwatch cameras adding to the security of the area. Vibey, peaceful and irresistible. Be sure to view!
