About this property
Sole Mandate. This well-proportioned two-bedroom apartment in the sought-after Woodlands complex in Rondebosch offers a compelling blend of space, character, and convenience. Set within a well-maintained, three-storey secure complex framed by mature trees and manicured communal gardens, the apartment spans approximately 97 m² of internal floor area.
The generously sized living room is an immediate standout, featuring striking dark herringbone parquet flooring and glass doors that open onto a balcony overlooking the tranquil complex gardens. Both bedrooms are comfortably proportioned and fitted with built-in cupboards. The kitchen is fully fitted and tiled, while the bathroom provides a shower over bath, with a separate toilet.
A hallway with a distinctive glass-block window panel and dark stained hardwood flooring connects the rooms, lending classic character to the interior. The Woodlands complex entrance is secured by decorative brick pillars, ornamental wrought-iron gates and railings, and intercom-controlled access — all clearly visible at the street-facing entrance.
The complex is ideally positioned steps from Rondebosch Park (approx. 121 m) and Rondebosch Boys' Preparatory School (approx. 134 m), with Bishops Diocesan College approximately 249 m away. Silwood Centre shopping mall is within easy walking distance at around 348 m, and Rondebosch Station is roughly 386 m away — making this one of the suburb's most conveniently positioned complexes. Bloom Specialty Coffee at the Mitre is just 246 m away, and Thummim Bakes is virtually on the doorstep. UCT's middle and upper campuses are a short commute away, and the property is well connected to major arterial routes into Cape Town's CBD and the Southern Suburbs. Street parking is available directly outside the complex.
A tenant is currently in place on a two-month notice period, making this an attractive buy-to-let investment or future primary residence.
