3 Bedroom House in Gardens

Truly one of a kind, this beautifully restored heritage home has been thoughtfully reimagined by Grobler Architects to create a real sense of space for City Bowl living. The three-bedroom, three-bathroom layout unfolds with an easy sense of flow, with views framed from every angle.

Traditional with a modern twist, it offers rare versatility, equally suited to a young family, a work-from-home professional, or an investor looking for something special, with the option to sectionalise into two income-generating units, adding a valuable layer of flexibility.

A standout feature is the direct access to a substantial double garage, accommodating two large vehicles, with additional storage for bikes, boards, a wine collection, or a motorbike or two. Secure and practical, well-suited to an active City Bowl lifestyle

On entry, the first bedroom has been reimagined as a generous work-from-home studio, with bespoke joinery and three workstations, enjoying uninterrupted views of Table Mountain and Lions Head. The second bedroom is en suite, light-filled, and well-proportioned, with beautiful mountain views. Original Oregon pine flooring runs throughout this section. There is also an additional bathroom and a guest loo on this level.

The home opens into a generous living extension, where kitchen, dining, and lounge come together with an easy sense of flow, designed for effortless entertaining. A clear architectural geometry, defined by the interplay of horizontal and vertical lines, brings a real sense of volume, with each space connecting naturally to the next. Expansive glass sliding doors and well-placed strip windows draw in natural light and greenery while allowing for ample wall space for the art connoisseur.

A practical chefs kitchen is anchored by a marble-topped island with double-sided storage. Black granite prep counters, a freestanding SMEG oven and stove, integrated appliances, and bespoke spotlight joinery complete the space, with a small, contained herb garden.

The dining area comfortably accommodates an eight-to-ten-seater table, while the lounge is anchored by a Morso stove, adding warmth and atmosphere. Large sliding glass doors open onto a private, sun-drenched terrace, protected from the southeaster and complemented by built-in seating, a braai, and an outdoor shower. Cleverly positioned to harness natural northern light, it works comfortably year-round. The space lends itself to a rooftop pool or wood-fired hot tub.

Upstairs, accessed via a sculptural floating staircase, the upper level is dedicated to a private, air-conditioned, north-facing master suite. Set apart, it offers a sense of calm, opening onto a sheltered balcony with uninterrupted views across the City Bowl and beyond. A walk-in wardrobe and a bathroom with a separate bath and walk-in shower complete the space, along with a quiet outdoor contemplation seat, drawing in views of Table Mountain and Lions Head and reinforcing that connection to the outdoors.

Air-conditioned throughout with underfloor heating. Within walking distance of leading schools, Kloof and Bree Streets, cafes, restaurants, dog parks, and green spaces, with mountain trails, beaches, and the CBD all close by.

This is, without question, a lifestyle buy
