Wind-Free Living Above St James, With Endless False Bay Views

Panoramic Family Home with Endless False Bay Coastline Views

This welcoming home sits high above the coastline with uninterrupted views from Hangklip to Cape Point. Both lighthouses can be seen twinkling across the bay at night. The house has been lived in and loved by the same owners for 25 years, and it carries a strong sense of warmth, history and comfort.

Inside, the home offers high ceilings, solid wooden floors and generous rooms that allow you to reconfigure the spaces to suit your lifestyle. The open plan kitchen connects to a light filled conservatory and a sheltered garden terrace, perfect for sunrise coffees and relaxed summer lunches. In winter, the intimate lounge with its wood burning fireplace becomes a cosy retreat.

On the lower level is a private guest suite with its own entrance, ideal for visiting family, a small company could work from this home space. The main and second bedrooms upstairs open onto a wide view deck with far reaching ocean views. An artists studio and a study (or further bedroom) complete this level, each enjoying natural light and inspiring vistas.
