This tastefully restored and renovated home has had the tiniest detail taken care of. The early Cape volume and line have not been destroyed, but ceilings have been lifted to enhance the sense of space. Generous entrance hallways with original floors have been retained, and where they have needed to be replaced, the use of Siberian Lark blends perfectly, maintaining the authenticity of the Victorian character.

There is underfloor hydronic heating throughout most of the house, and even the swimming pool is heated, lengthening the swimming season. The house has been refitted for both plumbing and electricity in 2018, ensuring modern functionality beneath its timeless charm.

A traditional pergola-covered stoep opens into the study, the main bedroom, and the spacious entrance hallway. Relax and rest a while as you look into the landscaped garden.

The study is perfect for working at home and even has its own gas fireplace. The sitting room is graced with a Spanish Rocal fireplace, not only adding to the ambiance but also heating the entire central section of this well-crafted home.

The dining room is at the heart of the home, complemented by the well-designed kitchen equipped with all the extras. Stack-back doors from the kitchen open to the Barbeque patio, making entertaining a seamless and enjoyable experience.

Strategic skylights throughout the house bring in gorgeous light, with the two in the central section offering the ability to open, and the wood paneling adds warmth and elegance to the interior.

All three bedrooms have ample built-in cupboards and each opens to its own garden space. Bay windows and door features add character and charm, enhancing the individuality of each room.

Fernwood Ave abuts this home with its avenue of oak trees. The established garden is full of interest, and around a little bend, you’ll find the discreetly tucked-away pool.

Security is top-notch and linked to the ever-efficient Fernwood Watch, ADT, and local WhatsApp groups. There are cameras, electric fencing, and beams providing peace of mind.

Staff ablutions, a storeroom, a grey water system, and water storage with a reticulation system enhance the home’s functionality, while modern comforts such as an inverter with a lithium battery backup ensure uninterrupted convenience. The laundry is conveniently housed in a large double garage with ample storage space for all the toys.

This is a smart home, with each room wired for internet connectivity.

Walk down the road to the treasured Liesbeek Garden and the play park opposite, with adult and children’s play equipment. Kirstenbosch is an easy stroll away. Easy access to the M3, Claremont CBD, and just 12 minutes from Muizenberg Beach. Close to all leading schools, The Hill Pre-Primary, and UCT.
