Entire floor penthouse with impeccable finishings

The word exceptional can be overused, but in this instance it is perfectly apt. It describes this penthouse, occupying the entire 4th floor of a stylish contemporary building located in one of Cape Town’s most culturally significant areas between City Centre & Bo-Kaap. The apartment occupies no less than 315 msq, (over 1000 square feet), and is exquisitely presented. Volume and glass create a light-filled, expansive space, with dazzling views over Signal Hill, Lion’s Head and the City Bowl. Configured over two floors, it has opulent spaces, both inside and outside, for relaxing and entertaining. Its private lobby is directly accessed via tag-activated lifts, (from reception and the basement parking). From there you enter the lower floor and a dazzling triple-storey living room - this comprises an 8-seater dining room, formal lounge with gas fire place and a uniquely exquisite, mirrored Assirelli kitchen. Bi-fold doors open fully onto a large covered terrace with bespoke furniture, private pool and further opportunity to enjoy the panoramic views, out towards the bay. On this floor is a spacious guest bedroom with luxury en-suite, opening directly onto the terrace with views over the jewelled houses of Bo-Kaap, and a beautiful guest cloakroom. A feature granite staircase takes you to the upper floor, which is no less impressive and has its own dappled outdoor terrace. This houses the dual-aspect main bedroom suite, which has a sumptuous en-suite, generous storage and sweeping views towards the V&A. There is an upstairs media room, with its own views, a gas fireplace and space for two desks. This upstairs living room could easily become a third bedroom and whose occupants would enjoy their own ocean vista and en-suite. It goes without saying that the fixtures and finishes throughout are of the highest quality, and there is an impressive focus on melding comfort and sustainability: special features include two large solar-assisted geysers and a grey-water system for outdoor use. There is an inverter to ensure an uninterrupted power supply and comfort is ensured via underfloor heating and air conditioning throughout. The penthouse enjoys an enviable degree of privacy and 24-hour security. It comes also with two underground parking bays and a storeroom. Its location, in the heart of this richly historic area, is within walking distance of the iconic V&A and the cafes and buzz of the city centre, with the beaches of the Atlantic seaboard and roads out of the Cape Town very easily accessible. A truly pristine, prestige property in a prized location.
