Description
Renovated exquisitely, this charming Victorian house in Tamboerskloof is the perfect juxtaposition of modern style, heritage charm and sustainability. It is spacious, with high ceilinged, light-filled rooms and a careful, expansive layout. This three-storey, 245 msq home has three bedrooms, three bathrooms and generous living areas. The principal space on the ground floor is a large, open-plan living/dining room, (with separate utility), with central unit and floor to ceiling sliding doors which open onto an artfully landscaped and lit terrace and braai area, perfect for languid al fresco entertaining. There are two distinct living rooms: the first has extensive built-in units, the second, floating shelving and access to the exterior and both have a fireplace. The first floor has two large double bedrooms. The first, also with a working fireplace, has its own bathroom with both bath and shower and a double sink. The second has an en-suite WC and sink, and a creatively-designed shower incorporated into the room itself. From the landing is a door leading to a covered balcony with ornate railings and glorious views of the City Bowl, CBD and Signall Hill. Glass panelled stairs lead to an extra floor with attic bedroom and en-suite bathroom, and skylight views towards Table Mountain. There is potential to further develop here, with larger windows and additional floor space. The heritage features in this beautiful property have been carefully restored - high ceilings, wooden floors, sash windows - but sit alongside contemporary flair. And exceptional is the focus on sustainability - features include a state of the art inverter and battery, six solar panels and a solar geyser, LED lighting. Wall heating creates steady warmth during colder months, and there is a rainwater collection tank and Hydraloop water recycling system. With both Kloof Street and mountain hikes within walking distance, and easy access to everything else, this is a fantastic opportunity.
