Property Details
This beautiful Victorian, on one of the nicest streets in Upper Woodstock, has four bedrooms over two floors. The upper floor is level with the street, and there are two parking spaces in front behind an electric gate.
The two largest bedrooms are in the front of the house, one with a bay window and fireplace, both with pressed ceilings and built-in cupboards. The high ceilings run throughout the upper level. There is a family bathroom adjacent to these bedrooms, complete with shower, tub, basin and toilet.
The passage flows from the front door and into the most dramatic feature of the home, a huge open plan living room, dining room, and kitchen, with a beautiful Victorian fireplace in the living area, and a cooking fireplace (binnebraai!) in the kitchen.
The dining area opens through French doors onto the deck just beyond, and with views over the City Bowl and Cape Town Harbour, it is perfect for both everyday living and hosting gatherings.
Tucked behind the kitchen is a scullery, and the kitchen is generous and ideal for entertaining. There is a guest bathroom off of this area, and a door leads to the deck for easy al fresco dining. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee or hosting a soirée, this deck is your front-row seat to mesmerizing sunsets and city lights.
The home had a thoughtful renovation a few years back. The lower level was opened up to the garden, and a bathroom, a kitchenette and two small bedrooms installed. The large from “rec room” invites a large screen TV, a braai outside, and dips into the full size swimming pool. The garden is landscaped, and could be nurtured into a verdant oasis by a green-thumbed homeowner, or maintained by visits from the local gardening service.
Upper Woodstock is known for its vibrant atmosphere. Located just around the corner from the lively restaurants and bars of Upper Roodebloem Road, this home offers the perfect blend of tranquility and city living.
