Apartment for sale at 20 Solomon Street, The Exchange
Live in historic charm at Exchange Lofts, near 44 Stanley and Braamfontein's creative pulse — one-bedroom apartment with preserved wooden floors, sash windows, private courtyard and covered parking.
Step into a residence where the golden era of Johannesburg’s communication meets modern urban luxury. Located within the iconic Exchange Lofts precinct, this unique apartment is situated in the prestigious building that once served as the primary Post Office and Sorting hub for the city.
The original little post office building has been transformed into this modern one- bedroom apartment with kitchen, lounge, bathroom with shower - and its own covered parking right next to its own private courtyard. The monthly Levy stated additionally includes effluence and parking. Water usage is billed by the Body Corporate on the Levy Statement. Prepaid Electricity.
Because of its central location it lends itself to various practical applications ideal to either students or young professionals starting out in life – or even a perfect Airbnb.
Unlike the raw industrial feel of the surrounding warehouses, this unit retains the refined architectural elegance of its administrative past. The wood sash windows flood the interior with soft, natural light while offering the timeless charm of Victorian-era design.
Underfoot, painstakingly preserved wooden floors—echo the stories of a century past. These warm, organic textures perfectly balance the double volume ceilings and open-plan layout, creating a "lived-in" luxury that is impossible to replicate in new builds.
This isn’t just an apartment; it’s a rare opportunity to own a piece of Johannesburg's heritage, repurposed for a creative, cosmopolitan lifestyle.
