*** EXCLUSIVE LISTING ***
Illuminate Real Estate is proud to present this beautiful, Victorian cottage in Oxford Road. One doesn’t realize how far back the property stretches from the street. A captivating ancient Frangipani tree welcomes you to the front courtyard and adds not only welcomed shade, but a serene outdoor space to unwind. The front door is like a time machine that transports you back 100 years. The gorgeous wooden doors, floors, and high ceilings remind you of a slower time in life and offer so much character to a seemingly small space. There are two spacious bedrooms – one looking onto the North/West front garden, and the second at the opposite side of the living area past the bathroom. From the front entrance hall, one enters a comfortable lounge with original working fireplace (and skylight). The room steps up to the dining area and industrial-style kitchen with space for 3 appliances. Just past the kitchen is a modernized bathroom with large shower, which then continues to the second bedroom.
There is a lane down the side of the house which offers some storage, and (closed) pedestrian access to Neath Road. This property enjoys excellent security, a solid neighbourhood community, is surrounded by well-maintained properties, and is walking distance to UCT Medical Campus, Grootte Schuur Hospital, and everyone’s favourite bars and eateries in Obz. Super convenient access to the N2 and M5 for a quick trip into the city, Riverlands Mall, numerous nearby schools, and the airport.
Viewing by appointment only.
