5 Bedroom House in Westcliff

EXCLUSIVE SOLE MANDATE

A Sunny Disposition, A Timeless Soul A Home and its Sister Home on one erf, waiting for Its Next Chapter

Built in the 50s, this charming family home has an unmistakable aura of yesteryear. A time when homes were built to last, rooms were generous, gardens were allowed to ramble and family memories were made around the fireplace. The position of the home makes it even more special. On the corner of Plein and Church Street, it is a stones throw away from Fick''s and the prime properties along Marine Drive- An International and local tourists heaven. Prime location for a sophisticated Air BNB set up.

There is something wonderfully nostalgic about this Old Dame and its sister home. From its traditional stoep and welcoming proportions to the warmth of parquet flooring, a cosy fireplace and a sun-filled sunroom-it has all the ingredients of a home that has been loved and lived in.

Set on a generously sized plot, the property is embraced by a lush, established garden that offers a sense of privacy even the second home is completely private and secluded from the main house with a wooden fence and a gate, tranquillity and old-world charm. It is easy to imagine long summer afternoons on the stoep, children playing in the garden and family gatherings spilling from one room into the next.

The home offers a wonderful canvas for someone with vision. While it is ready for a little love and thoughtful rejuvenation, its solid construction, traditional character and generous footprint provide an exceptional foundation. Architects, interior designers or buyers with an appreciation for homes with history will recognise the possibilities immediately. A Double garage completes the offering.

Adding further appeal is a completely separate flatlet, comprising 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen and a lounge, as well as a separate entrance and its own garage ideal for additional income through a permanent tenant, extended family or visiting guests.

This is not a home that needs to pretend to be something it isnt. It is an original, character-filled family home with good bones, a generous garden and a story to tell.

A little love and investment, lots of imagination and a new chapter could see this Grand Old Dame and its sister home shine once again, in all its splendour and glory. E&OE
