EXCLUSIVE LISTING
In the words of Mark Twain: “Buy land, they're not making it anymore.”
Available for the first time in 44 years, this DOUBLE plot in Milner Road (on the edge of Rondebosch Silver Mile) offers boundless potential. Whether you are looking for your forever family home where kids have enough space to create a mini soccer field, or space to build accommodation for extended family, or an opportunity to develop the property into a boutique security estate – this could be your chance.
We believe that the present house dates back to the 1940s, supported by features like suspended wooden floors beneath some of the carpets, and a brick fireplace in the one of the bedrooms. An open plan lounge/dining room welcomes you as you enter. Adjacent to the lounge (to the East) is a functional kitchen, with an oversized single garage sharing a wall to the North of the living rooms. The bedroom wing comprises of 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and runs West to East, with a North aspect along the passage, built in a lovely L-shape perpendicular to the living rooms. A staff room behind the kitchen could easily be converted into a guest suite or home office with separate pedestrian entrance down the side of the house.
The house, while very solid, requires modernising. Extras include a solar geyser, carport, and secure parking for 5+ vehicles. Situated a short 500m from Belvedere Square Shopping Mall, with numerous playparks in the vicinity (Choo Choo Park and Keurboom Park – perfect for runners/dog-walkers), some of Cape Town’s top schools, and only 3 traffic lights from the M5 - the location couldn’t be better.
Viewing by appointment only.
