Relaxed family living in Little Mowbray, steps from Rondebosch Common and cafés, featuring an elevated patio, edible wrap-around garden and partial Devil’s Peak views — five bedrooms.
Originally a part of the St Georges Grammar School Estate, built in the 19’40’s, this 5-bedroom home is in a quiet Cul du sac of only 3 houses.
The heart of the home is defined as a central communal living space incorporating a lounge flowing to a large, elevated patio, the dining space next to the kitchen. Two bedrooms are located at either side of the living room and the 5th bedroom and family bathroom is accessed via a short passageway behind the lounge. The garden wraps around the house with Jojo tanks installed and a well-point ensuring a water supply in all conditions.
The lounge picture windows and French doors, look out to over the patio to greenery and a partial view of Devils Peak. Warmed in the chilly months by a “state of the art” log burning stove, this space supports close family gatherings and “no-fuss” entertaining.
