Heathfield, Cape Town

A 77m² two-bedroom unit with real upside for someone willing to pick up a paintbrush. It needs TLC, and the price reflects that.

The kitchen is a decent size with ample storage, a built-in stove and space for a single fridge. It opens into a spacious open-plan living area with high ceilings and good natural light – the kind of shell that rewards a renovation.

Two bedrooms and one bathroom, plus a hallway storage cupboard. The main bedroom has built-in cupboards; the second is smaller and without. A small balcony adds usable space, currently doing duty as storage.

Third floor, no lift – you'll spot it marked in red on the main photo. Good for the calves, better for the privacy and the view.

The complex is secure, pet and child friendly, with parking inside the gates and a settled, neighbourly feel. The kind of block where people stay put.

Ideal for an investor or a buyer who wants to put their own stamp on a place, in a Heathfield location that keeps you close to everything.
