About this property
This well-maintained three-bedroom house offers comfortable, characterful living in the heart of Observatory, one of Cape Town's most vibrant and walkable neighbourhoods. The distinctive blue-and-white rendered façade with its bold geometric patterning and patterned cement-tile courtyard immediately sets the property apart.
The accommodation comprises three bedrooms: two generously sized rooms sharing a centrally located bathroom, and a third bedroom with its own private toilet and shower en suite. One bedroom is arranged over two levels, with a downstairs area suitable for a home office or study and an upper sleeping space — ideal for remote work or a flexible live-work setup.
The kitchen is well-appointed with light wood-grain cabinetry, dark laminate countertops, a checkerboard tile splashback, a four-plate electric stove and oven, double sink, and space for a fridge, washing machine, and microwave. An open archway connects to a compact dining nook with a built-in bench — perfect for casual meals. Natural light and a barred window ensure security without compromising ventilation.
Outdoors, a sheltered side courtyard paved with patterned encaustic cement tiles provides a private braai and relaxation area, enclosed by rendered perimeter walls with a spiked security topper. A partial Table Mountain glimpse is visible from the courtyard.
The property is sold fully furnished and is currently secured with a 12-month rental agreement, offering immediate rental income and strong investment appeal. Observatory Station is approximately 250 m away, and the lively Lower Main Road — with its cafés, restaurants, and nightlife — is immediately on the doorstep: UrbanTikka, Kind Regards, Trenchtown, and the Obz Lifestyle Market are all within 250 m. KWIKSPAR Observatory is ±85 m away, and Station Road Park is ±65 m from the property.
