About this property
Sole & Exclusive Mandate — a well-established family home set in the heart of Athlone, Cape Town, offering generous living spaces, mature garden landscaping, and a compelling suite of practical features.
The open-plan lounge and dining area forms the social core of the home, ideal for family gatherings and entertaining. A dedicated study or home office — distinguished by a charming wooden ceiling — benefits from its own en-suite bathroom (shower, basin, and toilet), making it equally suited to remote work or use as a fourth bedroom.
The modern kitchen is well-appointed with ample built-in cupboards, a ceramic hob, oven, and extractor fan. The generous main suite provides extensive built-in storage and a private en-suite bathroom, while two further bedrooms (one with built-ins) share a neat family bathroom complete with a bathtub, hand shower, and washing-machine plumbing.
Outdoors, a beautifully established garden is lush with mature trees, flowering shrubs, herbs, and potted plants — a genuine oasis visible across multiple courtyard and garden areas. A brick-paved front courtyard with decorative pergola leads to the secure entrance, while the rear garden features a circular cobble-paved feature area surrounded by indigenous and tropical plantings.
Security is well considered: an ornate wrought-iron pedestrian gate and full steel palisade perimeter fence provide a strong first line of defence, complemented by a fitted alarm system and burglar bars throughout. Off-street parking is plentiful — space for 2 vehicles plus a large carport accommodating an additional 4 cars. Aluminium windows feature throughout, and the property benefits from on-site groundwater access.
The location is exceptionally convenient: St. Raphael's RC Primary School is roughly 54 m away, Carrington Park is within 85 m, and Athlone Station — providing rail access across the city — is approximately 250 m from the front gate. Shoprite Athlone and several neighbourhood supermarkets are also within easy walking distance.
