3 Bedroom Apartment in Bantry Bay

Only two homes were built on the corner of Seacliffe and Victoria Road, and this newly completed residence is the one at ground level. It has 261m2 over multiple levels, a private pool and palm-shaded terrace on one side, and Saunders'' Rocks a short walk away. It has the feel and flow of a freestanding home, and it lets you live outdoors in a way most Atlantic Seaboard apartments can''t.

The double-volume living room is the centrepiece, with ceilings over 3.5 metres and floor-to-ceiling glass. A bold feature wall surrounds the TV lounge, which has custom panelling and a fireplace. A floating timber staircase and glass-fronted landing rise above it. Black and white marble, warm timber and architecturally pleasing lighting carry through the home. The dining area and a private bar sit off the living room, and a fully integrated Miele kitchen ties the space together.

Stacking doors open the living areas fully onto the terrace. Established palms, a low-maintenance garden and the pool make it feel secluded. Bantry Bay is tucked in against Lion''s Head and sheltered from the south-easter, so you can use the terrace most of the year.

There are three en-suite bedrooms, each with its own level of privacy, plus a guest cloakroom for visitors. Inverter backup and secure parking for two cars handle the practical side.

For an investor, this home is also well suited to short-term letting. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, the pool and terrace are private, and the location suits upmarket holiday guests. It can earn as a premium rental during the summer season and still be your own Cape Town base for the rest of the year.

Clifton''s beaches, the Sea Point Promenade, Camps Bay and the V&A Waterfront are all a few minutes away.
