About this property
Step into this beautifully renovated, fully furnished 43 m² urban loft in Temple House on Roland Street, Gardens — one of Cape Town's most sought-after inner-city neighbourhoods. Perched on the 4th floor, the apartment delivers a rare blend of industrial character and contemporary comfort: soaring ceilings with raw exposed concrete beams, white-painted exposed brick walls, and large steel-framed windows that flood the open-plan living space with natural light and frame city rooftop views.
The open-plan layout seamlessly connects the living, dining, and kitchen zones across striking black-and-white checkerboard tile floors. The designer kitchen features dark matte cabinetry with brass hardware, a stainless-steel freestanding oven with five-burner hob and extractor hood, an undercounter fridge, and a rustic timber island with white Tolix-style bar stools — ideal for casual entertaining. The living area is styled with a tufted grey sofa, a geometric brass-and-glass coffee table, a wall-mounted flat-screen TV with soundbar, and a mirrored sideboard that amplifies the natural light. A sisal area rug grounds the space, while arched window-pane mirrors and warm rattan pendant lighting add curated warmth to the industrial aesthetic.
Fully furnished and move-in or rent-out ready from day one, the apartment includes a dedicated bedroom and bathroom. Temple House residents enjoy a pool deck with Table Mountain views, 24/7 security with controlled access, and a secure undercover private parking bay.
Currently generating R15 000 per month in rental income (electricity excluded), this unit presents compelling short- and long-term investment returns. The location seals the deal: acclaimed restaurants Kitchen Chefs and Carne Kloof are within 130 m, the Indian restaurant Vadivelu and coffee shop Mirepoix are approximately 130–135 m away, and Kloof Street Park is a short stroll at roughly 230 m — placing the very best of Gardens' vibrant urban core on your doorstep.
