Apartment for sale
City-edge living with cottage charm in Salt River, steps from the CBD; private balcony framing Table Mountain, partly furnished, lease in place — ideal turnkey 1-bed, 1-bath investment.
This charming 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment is located in the distinctive Burnside complex, one of Salt River`s most unique residential developments. Offering a cottage-style layout that differs from conventional apartment living, the unit combines character, practicality, and investment appeal.
The bedroom opens onto a private balcony, creating a peaceful outdoor retreat with beautiful views of Table Mountain. Whether enjoying your morning coffee or unwinding at the end of the day, the outlook is a constant reminder of Cape Town`s iconic landscape.
The apartment is partly furnished with built-in furniture designed to complement the space and make the most of the home`s thoughtful layout. The bathroom is neat and functional, while the overall feel of the apartment is warm, welcoming, and full of character. A lease is already in place, and the current tenant would happily remain, making this an ideal turnkey investment with immediate rental income.
Why Burnside?
Burnside is renowned for its unusual architectural design, inspired by a village-like setting rather than a traditional apartment block. Its collection of cottage-style homes, walkways, courtyards, and varied rooflines creates a unique living environment seldom found in the city. The development has earned a loyal following among residents who appreciate its character, individuality, and sense of community.
Why Salt River?
Perfectly positioned on the doorstep of Cape Town`s city bowl, Salt River continues to attract investors and young professionals seeking convenience and connectivity. With easy access to the CBD, major transport routes, universities, and the neighbouring hubs of Woodstock and Observatory, the area remains one of Cape Town`s most dynamic urban precincts. Ongoing regeneration and strong rental demand continue to support long-term investment potential.
