Property Details
This property on Glencoe Road in Oranjezicht is a home rich in history, perfectly positioned just below the mountain, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city bowl, ocean, and Table Mountain. Built in 1930 by an Austrian architect, with only three families having lived there— the current family for the past 45 years.
The spacious three-level design features a welcoming double-volume living area on the first floor, which includes a lounge, a cozy reading corner, and a dining room that flows effortlessly into the kitchen. This level also boasts two studies, ideal for remote work, as well as a guest loo, laundry room, and storeroom for added convenience. One of the studies can easily serve as an additional bedroom, making this the perfect forever family home.
On the second floor in the east wing, you’ll find two spacious main bedrooms, separated with an en-suite bathroom. One bedroom, facing north/east, offers breathtaking views over Table Bay, stretching from Signal Hill to Devil's Peak. The second bedroom, with a south-facing orientation, showcases spectacular views of Table Mountain, overlooking a serene pool and a beautifully natural garden adorned with natural fynbos, including proteas that are older than the house itself.
Ascending to the upper level, you'll discover two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a generous lounge and dining area that boasts the best views in the home looking over the ocean. This level can be accessed from the main house or through a private back entrance, leading to a charming deck area that overlooks the pool and Table Mountain.
In the west wing, a fully-equipped flatlet awaits, featuring one bedroom, a bathroom, a kitchen, and a lounge, all offering panoramic views that the area is celebrated for. With its private entrance, this flatlet serves as an excellent income-generating opportunity, frequently rented out to holiday guests.
The property also includes staff quarters, which can double as a flatlet, conveniently located on the ground level near the entrance. The large single garage provides direct access into the house via stairs or an electric chairlift that leads up to the kitchen. Additionally, there is ample space next to the garage for the potential addition of another double garage in the future, if desired.
