This is a home with real soul characterful, comfortable, and ready for its next chapter. Warm, welcoming, and just the right amount of quirky.

The 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home is pure Cape Town character with a side of everyday joy. After parking in one of your 2 secure off street parking you are greeted with an ornate white lacework veranda, soft grey walls, and a corrugated iron roof that catches the light just right the kind of place that makes you smile the moment you pull up.

Step inside through the stunning wooden front door and the high, pressed ceilings, original wooden floors take you back in time, which is highlighted further by the originally decorated, working fireplace in the living room which sets the tone.

Its bright, airy, and full of personality enhanced by the absolutely stunning pressed high ceiling with plenty of space to stretch out on the sofa with a book or magazine and fully relax in the warmth of the space. The open flow living and dining areas feel lived-in and welcoming, with a skylight bringing natural light right into the heart of the home.

The kitchen is a delightful mix of old and new with plentiful cabinets, terracotta tiles, open shelves giving you plenty of packing space and a steam punk feel, and everything you need to cook up a storm or just reheat last nights leftovers without judgement.

A handy little studyoffice nook opens straight onto the garden, perfect for working from home with a view of the greenery.

The bathroom keeps the vintage vibe alive with a claw-foot bath, a modern glass shower, and plenty of natural light.

Both bedrooms are generously sized with beautiful wooden floors and ample built-in cupboards, the high ceilings and large sash windows giving a light filled spacious place to rest and recover from your busy days.

And then theres the garden. This is the real show-stealer. A leafy, enclosed sizeable yard with established trees, banana plants. Its peaceful, private, and a wonderful green space for the middle of the city the perfect spot for a slow morning coffee, an afternoon braai, or just ignoring the world for a bit.

Observatory itself is the bonus. Youre right in one of Cape Towns most vibrant, creative neighbourhoods cafs, bookshops, live music, and that easy, slightly bohemian energy that makes the suburb so loved, mixed with the convenance of the new Riverlands Mall and easy access to all main transport routes. While Table Mountain peeks into view from the front veranda , making you close to everything without feeling crowded.
