Step into a beautifully preserved Victorian cottage in the heart of Rondebosch, where classic period charm meets relaxed contemporary living. The street façade — with its white-plastered walls, green corrugated-iron roof, decorative iron fencing, ornamental gate pillars, and traditional black sash-window frames — announces the home's heritage credentials from the kerb.

Inside, soaring ceilings with original cornicing, original Oregon pine floors, and two working Victorian fireplaces create an atmosphere that is both elegant and immediately liveable. The open-plan lounge and dining areas flow effortlessly into each other, warmed in winter by the period fireplace and filled with garden light through large sash windows. French doors at the rear dissolve the boundary between inside and outside, opening onto a private patio and a lush, established garden shaded by mature trees — a serene retreat ideal for entertaining or morning coffee.

The two generous bedrooms are sanctuaries of natural light, and elegant period armoires may be included in the sale to preserve the home's Victorian character. The modern bathroom features a walk-in shower, basin, and WC, thoughtfully fitted without compromising the home's period feel. A dedicated utility room at the back of the house accommodates the washing machine, a deep old-fashioned sink, and additional storage.

Security is well considered, with perimeter beams, an alarm system, and secure off-street parking for one vehicle. The 279 m² floor area provides generous room to live without the burden of an oversized property.

Location is exceptional: Rondebosch Park is roughly 120 m away, Bishops Diocesan College and Rondebosch Boys' Preparatory School are within easy walking distance, Bloom Specialty Coffee and Michaels Kitchen & Bar are around the corner, and Rondebosch Station — for rapid City Bowl and Southern Suburbs access — is only some 386 m away. Silwood Centre and KWIKSPAR Westerford cover everyday retail needs, all within a few minutes on foot.
