3 Bedroom House in Vredehoek

After 48 years, this much-loved family home is looking for a new custodian.

The location is exceptional, within walking distance of Herzlia schools, St Cyprians and Cape Town Montessori. This south-entry, north-facing home has Table Mountain as its backdrop and enjoys an elevated position with views from every level.

Set on a generous 680m2 corner erf, the property has a wrap-around garden with mature trees, established shrubs and plenty of lawn for children to play. A lower section of the garden would be the perfect spot for a pool, and there is ample space to add a double garage.

A short pathway and a few steps lead up from Fitzherbert Road to the elevated stoep. From the front door, a generous passage leads through to the open-plan kitchen and lounge. Windows on three sides bring in plenty of light and make the most of the views in every direction. One looks directly towards Table Mountain, occasionally covered by a dramatic tablecloth of cloud. Another captures the changing colours of the sky as the sun sets behind Lions Head, while two north-facing windows from the kitchen and dining area look across the City Bowl and Table Bay.

Two generous bedrooms are also situated on this level, both opening onto an enclosed balcony currently used as a study, but which would work well as a nursery too. A family bathroom with a shower over the bath, as well as a separate guest loo, completes this level.

A wide staircase leads to the lower level, which has an extra large bedroom as well as a north-facing self-contained flatlet. The flatlet is currently only accessible from the garden, but easy access could be created from the passage. This space could then be incorporated into the main house as a generous master suite or used as an additional bedroom.

The home has excellent bones and beautiful wooden block parquet flooring. It can be enjoyed as it is with some cosmetic updates, or provides a great canvas for a more extensive renovation on this prime location.

A much-loved family home with space, an established garden, views and plenty of opportunity to make it your own. This is a rare opportunity to own a historic home in the heart of Oranjezicht. Contact us today for a private viewing, wed love to show you around.
