5 Bedroom House in Rosebank

Set on a generous erf in a quiet, leafy pocket of Rosebank, this much-loved Victorian home sits just steps from the childrens playpark and the village green, where kids parties, dog walks and relaxed weekend picnics, meditations and pram strolls are part of the rhythm of everyday life. The location is unbeatable - youre minutes from top hospitals, leading schools, UCT, the airport, the CBD, Cavendish, the Waterfront, local markets, Rondebosch Common, forest walks, mountain trails and even the beach, all within a 5-20 minute drive.

The property carries a B3 Heritage listing, and a Cape Town heritage consultant has already viewed the home. Their feedback is encouraging, there is plenty that can be done to enhance modern functionality while comfortably retaining its heritage status.

Framed by a magnificent old pin oak in the front garden, the home carries its preserved Victorian charm with grace. Inside, youll find high ceilings, thick walls, wooden floors, sash-style window frames, dado rails, fireplaces, and pressed-steel panels along the wide central passage. Its the type of authentic period detailing that simply cant be recreated today. The layout allows for flexible living, offering up to 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, depending on how you choose to configure the spaces. As it stands, the home is divided into:

Main house rented out until December

A smaller adjoining section occupied by the owner

A separate flatlet bedroom, bathroom, loungediner and kitchen with its own private courtyard occupied by the long-term domestic worker

This versatility makes the property ideal for extended families, multigenerational living, work-from-home needs, or a buyer whod like built-in rental income from day one.

The garden is small, charming and easy to maintain. Practical extras include a tandem carportgarage, a man cave, motorised garage doors, and an alarm system and is wheelchair friendly with wooden ramps and wet room shower style.

While the home has been lovingly cared for, the owner is now older and no longer able to maintain a property of this scale. Naturally, some areas are ready for modernisation and upliftment, creating a wonderful opportunity for the next owner to update the home to their lifestyle.

With genuine character, a superb lifestyle-driven location and endless potential, this is a large family home that can be shaped around your needs.

Showing on Friday - view by appointment only.
