R1 995 000 | 2 Bedroom House Sold By Us in Observatory, Cape Town

ON SHOW: SATURDAY APRIL 8, FROM 12 TO 1, OR VIEW BY APPOINTMENT

Observatory is Cape Town’s coolest suburb, popular with homeowners and investors alike. There are loads of restaurants, bars and boutiques to choose from when it comes to local leisure, and it is centrally located to both the City Bowl, the Southern Suburbs, and major highways & public transport. For investors, UCT, Groote Schuur and several private educational institutions means that there are always tenants seeking to rent in the area.

On a quiet street, just far enough from the hustle and bustle of Lower Main, is a sweet two-bedroom semi-detached home, with parking out front.

The homeowner has lovingly renovated this cottage. The front and main bedroom has big beautiful build-in cupboards, a stylish ceiling fan, and a eclectic collection of pendant lights.

The second bedroom also has built-in cupboards, and is suitable for a child’s bedroom, a home office, or a second rental bedroom for parents of students.

The wooden floors of the bedrooms flow through to the lounge, which is flooded with light, and has a ceramic fireplace to warm the room in winter.

On one end of the living room is a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf, with capacity for even the most ardent reader. Ahead is the dining area, and French doors through to a peaceful paved back courtyard, with creeper lined walls and outdoor seating. The green of this space continues round the corner of the house, and the verdant view comes through the window of the galley-style kitchen.

The home has excellent security, with gates and burglar bars, and is fully alarmed. This address is included in the area monitored by the renowned community policing forum, Obsid.

This is a must-see for first-time homebuyers, those seeking proximity to Groote Schuur, or parents looking to invest given the high cost of student housing.
