3 Bedroom Apartment in Fresnaye

Unfurnished at R37 500 per month

Presented clean, freshly painted and ready to move into. Suited to a tenant with their own furniture who wants a long term base in Fresnaye and the freedom to make the space their own.

Fully furnished at R45 000 per month

The furnished option is brand new throughout. Beds, lounge and dining furniture, appliances and kitchenware are all new and specified as a set rather than assembled from whatever the last tenant left behind. Arrive with suitcases and start living the same day. This suits executives on assignment, families relocating to Cape Town, and anyone who does not want to spend their first month buying a bed.

Set on the eighth floor of a well held building in the heart of Fresnaye, this apartment does something most rentals in the area cannot. It gives you real height. From the living room and the balcony you look out over the rooftops of Fresnaye to the Atlantic, and from the windows along the side of the apartment the aspect turns inland to Lion''s Head and Signal Hill. You get both the ocean and the mountain from the same home, which is rare at this rental level.

The layout is the apartment''s other strength. A wide entrance hall runs the length of the home and separates the reception rooms from the sleeping wing, so guests never move through the private part of the apartment. Original parquet flooring runs through the living areas and bedrooms. The living space is generous enough to hold a proper lounge and a dining table without either feeling squeezed, and glass runs across almost the full width of the room, so light moves through the apartment for most of the day. The balcony opens directly off the living room and is the natural spot for morning coffee and evening sundowners.

Two bedrooms sit off the sleeping wing, both with built in cupboards and both large enough to take a king bed with room to spare. The main has a mirrored wall of cupboards along one side. The third room is set up as a study, which is what most tenants in this building actually want. It is a proper room rather than a corner of the lounge, with its own door, a window and power, so calls and deep work happen behind a closed door. The apartment is fibre ready, so a serious work from home setup is a same week exercise rather than a month of waiting for installation. The study converts back to a bedroom or nursery without any work if that suits you better.

The kitchen is separate and fully fitted, with granite tops, a Bosch oven and hob, extractor, and a full run of cupboards on both sides, plus dedicated space for a fridge and a washing machine. This is a kitchen built for people who actually cook, not one designed for a photograph.

The family bathroom is fully tiled with a bath, a separate shower and a double granite vanity. A second guest cloakroom sits off the hall, which keeps visitors out of your bathroom entirely.

Parking is covered twice over. A single garage comes with the apartment, along with a second secure bay inside the building. In this pocket of Fresnaye that combination is uncommon and worth more than the rand value suggests, because street parking here is contested every evening of the week.

Water is included in the rental. Electricity and fibre run on the tenant''s own account, so you pay for exactly what you use and nothing more.

You are a short walk from the restaurants, coffee shops, grocers, gyms and pharmacies along the Fresnaye and Sea Point strip, close to the promenade for early runs and evening walks, and within easy reach of the V&A Waterfront and the city bowl.
