R 260 000

Affordable two-bedroom starter home in Philippi East, Cape Town, offered for sale at R250 000 — an accessible entry-level opportunity for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor looking to enter the Cape Town property market.

The single-storey dwelling comprises two bedrooms, an open-plan lounge/kitchen and a bathroom. The exterior walls are rendered in a distinctive salmon/terracotta plaster finish beneath a corrugated fibre-cement roof. The property sits within a fully enclosed, matching plastered boundary wall with concrete-capped pillars, accessed via a metal security gate. Security bars are fitted to all visible windows and the entrance gate, providing a solid first line of protection.

The enclosed yard offers a generous outdoor area — currently overgrown with grass and wild flowers — presenting real scope for landscaping, a vegetable garden or a children's play area. A timber washing-line post with strung cord is installed in the rear yard. A narrow side passage runs between the property boundary wall and the neighbouring concrete-block structure, providing utility access. Some damp/standing water is visible in the side passage and buyers are advised to inspect the drainage.

Note: the recorded unit area of 160 m² appears unusually large for the bedroom count and is likely to reflect the stand/erf size rather than internal floor area; buyers are advised to confirm measurements independently.

The neighbourhood is well serviced: Sophumelela Secondary School is approximately 710 m away, Philippi Children's Centre and Nal'uxolo Primary School are under 890 m from the property, and Tembalethu Supermarket is roughly 890 m away — all within comfortable walking distance.
