About this property
A compact 1-bedroom lock-up-and-go apartment set within a well-established four-storey residential complex in Maitland, Cape Town. At 33 m², this entry-level unit is ideally suited as a starter home or buy-to-let investment in a high-demand rental corridor close to Cape Town's CBD.
The open-plan kitchen and living area features an L-shaped white cabinetry layout with chrome bar handles, dark granite-effect countertops, a decorative bread-themed printed splashback, a 4-plate electric hob with undercounter oven, and a single-basin sink. Beige ceramic floor tiles run throughout. A geyser and copper plumbing installation are housed within a dedicated kitchen alcove with cabinetry above and a tiled surround below. The unit is sold as-is, presenting genuine scope for cosmetic renovation to unlock further value.
The complex presents a neat white and grey rendered façade across four storeys with uniform aluminium-framed windows. The brick-paved internal courtyard provides generous off-street parking for residents. Security features include 24-hour manned access control and biometric fingerprint entry. On-site amenities include a laundry facility and a convenience shop — ideal for a low-maintenance lifestyle.
Location convenience is exceptional: Shoprite Maitland is just 41 m away for daily grocery needs, and Amstel Park is approximately 144 m from the door — a pleasant green escape within easy reach. KFC Maitland (93 m) and several eateries are moments away, while Holy Cross High School lies roughly 374 m away, making this an attractive option for families or investors targeting the student and young-professional rental market. Maitland is strategically positioned between Cape Town's CBD and surrounding commercial nodes, with easy access to both the N1 and N2 highway corridors — a compelling proposition for investors and first-time buyers alike.
