About this property

Set in the highly sought-after Olde Pinelands, this solidly built single-storey character home sits on a generous 833 m² erf and offers an exceptional blend of space, classic charm, and genuine modernisation potential — in one of Cape Town's most enduringly family-friendly neighbourhoods.

Kerb appeal is immediately striking: a white rendered façade beneath a dark clay tile hip roof, curved stone-tiled entrance steps rising to a covered porch with elegant white balustrading and potted succulents, framed by tall, established mature trees. A separate garage structure is accessed via a concrete driveway, with an additional carport beneath a timber trellis pergola to the side. The spacious front lawn adds a relaxed, leafy outlook.

Inside, the dual reception layout exudes warmth and period character. The main lounge features original timber-framed windows, pressed-plaster corniced ceilings, wood-look flooring, and a distinctive brick fireplace with wooden mantel — complemented by dual pendant globe lighting and a wall-mounted air conditioner. A second reception or sitting room flows naturally from the lounge, benefiting from generous natural light through multiple sheer-curtained windows, with built-in white bookshelves making it equally suited as a TV lounge, study, or playroom.

The home comprises four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a covered patio, and up to five garage bays — providing exceptional vehicle, storage, and workshop accommodation rarely found at this price point. A pool and a private back garden complete the outdoor package.

Location is a genuine highlight: Howard Shopping Centre with Pick n Pay, Lavazza, and McDonald's Drive-Thru is within roughly 170 m, Spring Garden Park is approximately 230 m away, and Pinelands High School is approximately 344 m away — making daily errands, green-space access, and school runs effortlessly convenient.
