4 Bedroom House in Welgelegen

Meticulously Restored Mid-Century Modern Landmark in Welgelegen. The historic 1960 Bruynzeel House offers premium modernist design, exceptional mountain views, and a private income-generating short- term rental suite.

Huis Stromvogel is a highly significant architectural property, built in 1960 for Dutch industrialist and yachtsman Kees Bruynzeel. Situated on an expansive, north-facing sloped erf of 2,091 m², the home has been meticulously restored to its original mid-century modern design while integrating premium contemporary comforts. Its defining structural feature is a dramatic, north-facing hyperbolic paraboloid roof with exposed teak and yellowwood timber.

With approximately 375 m² under roof, the practical split-level layout includes:

Two large reception rooms, highlighted by a double-volume main living area with floor-to-ceiling glass walls that maximize northern light and panoramic mountain views.

Four spacious bedrooms featuring original molded plaster ceilings, complemented by three modernized bathrooms.

One of the bedrooms has been intelligently renovated to operate as a self-contained, income-earning Airbnb suite. It features its own separate entrance, ensuring total privacy for both the main household and guests.

Two secure garages providing ample parking and direct access, seamlessly integrated into the home''s sleek exterior profile.

The house opens out to a landscaped, modernist garden layout that has previously been featured on television and in design publications. The property offers excellent indoor-outdoor flow, centered around a private swimming pool, entertainment patio, and multiple terraced seating areas that take full advantage of the elevated position.

Located in the secure, quiet and highly sought-after neighborhood of Welgelegen, this property offers a rare combination of historical architectural pedigree and functional dual-living capability. It sits within close proximity to Stellenboschs historic town center and top-tier schools, including Paul Roos Gymnasium and Bloemhof.
