About this property
Discover this exceptional circa-1930s heritage residence in the leafy suburb of Rosebank, Cape Town, where classic Art Deco elegance meets generous family living. From the moment you step through the original solid-timber double-leaf front door — framed by its striking arched ironwork gate — gleaming hardwood floors, soaring coffered pressed-steel ceilings, and beautifully preserved period woodwork set the tone throughout.
Positioned to capture magnificent uninterrupted views across the Rosebank Green to the awe-inspiring presence of Table Mountain and Devil's Peak, the property offers a rare connection to one of Cape Town's most iconic landscapes — visible from both the covered front stoep and the elevated aerial outlook. The covered verandah, with its terracotta quarry-tiled floor, rendered white balustrade, vibrant bougainvillea, and teak bench seating, is the perfect spot to absorb those mountain vistas.
The generously proportioned lounge is a period showpiece: an original timber fireplace surround with cast-iron insert, an exposed Oregon pine beam, a spectacular coffered pressed-steel ceiling, original multi-pane timber sash-and-casement windows, and French doors that open onto the lush established garden beyond. The wide entrance hall, with ornate plaster cornicing, vintage chandelier, and double-leaf glazed front door, sets a gracious tone from arrival.
A separate family area and kitchen lead seamlessly onto a tranquil back stoep, creating superb indoor-outdoor entertaining flow into a private garden. Accommodation comprises four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with the fourth bedroom en suite configured as a self-contained flatlet with its own access — ideal for guests, extended family, or a rental income stream.
Practical features include a double carport behind an automatic gate, an energy-efficient solar geyser, and a large storeroom. A swimming pool — visible in the aerial view — completes the outdoor amenity offering.
The location is outstanding: Rosebank Station is approximately 230 m away, Starke Ayres Garden Centre roughly 240 m, and both Rustenburg Girls' High School (~420 m) and St Joseph's Marist College (~550 m) are within easy walking distance — all contributing to the suburb's enduring family appeal. Multiple parks and green spaces, including Alma Park and Liesbeek Road Tractor Park, are within 300 m, while the University of Cape Town precinct, the vibrant Observatory strip, and the amenities of Newlands are all within easy reach.
