Woodstock, Cape Town

Light changes everything. With open aspects to the north, west and south, this remarkable first-floor apartment enjoys sunshine throughout the day and breathtaking views of Table Bay and the harbour, Lions Head, Signal Hill, Devils Peak and Table Mountain. Beautifully authentic and full of character, it offers all the charm of a Woodstock cottage with the security, convenience and lock-up-and-go lifestyle of an apartment. Unlike many Woodstock cottages, which are semi-detached with limited natural light and small courtyards that are often at the mercy of the summer south-easter or winter rain and cold, this home feels bright, warm and uplifting throughout the year. Situated in an exclusive block of just four apartments (only two per floor), it offers exceptional privacy, peace and a wonderful sense of space. The stunning open-plan lounge, dining room and kitchen is the heart of the home. Soaring 3.5-metre-high ceilings, beautiful wooden floors and abundant natural light create an inviting space you'll love spending time in. Both generous bedrooms feature the same impressive 3.5-metre-high ceilings and each has its own en-suite bathroom, making the layout ideal for professionals, couples, guests or those working from home. The recently painted building is located in one of Woodstock's most sought-after, quiet streets, within easy walking distance of Stellski's, Roodebloem Road, cafés, restaurants, the Woodstock Fish Market and excellent transport links. The apartment is pet friendly (subject to Body Corporate approval), offers ample on-street parking and is ideal as a permanent home or long-term investment. Please note that short-term letting is not permitted. If you've been looking at Woodstock cottages or apartments, don't buy until you've seen this home. It offers a rare combination of authentic character, privacy, year-round sunshine, soaring ceilings, spectacular views and the easy, secure lifestyle that only a boutique apartment can provide. Once you see it, you'll understand why it's one of the most special apartments in Woodstock.
