About this property

Situated on the second floor of the well-known Hellenic Court complex (no. 252) in Plumstead, Cape Town, this characterful 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment spans 82 m² and offers a comfortable, light-filled home with genuine investment appeal.

The open-plan lounge and dining area is the standout social space, boasting soaring ceilings with exposed timber box beams and a generous run of curved bay windows that frame leafy tree canopies and flood the room with natural light. Large ceramic floor tiles extend throughout the living zone, creating a clean, easy-maintenance finish. A dedicated dining area sits adjacent to the lounge, and the curved bay window nook doubles as a bright home-office corner.

Both bedrooms are well-proportioned and fitted with built-in cupboards, while the bathroom is neat and practical. A tiled entrance hallway — accented with a decorative chandelier and intercom — connects the rooms and adds a classic residential feel.

The description references parquet flooring and the images show tile in the living area; parquet may be present in the bedrooms not yet photographed. A garage/parking bay is included.

Aspeling High School is barely 250 m away, Saint Anne's Primary School roughly 430 m, and Shoprite Southfield approximately 570 m — making this an exceptionally walkable suburban address. Café Classique and several eateries are within 600 m, and Smith Road Park is around 490 m for weekend strolls.

Ideal for first-time buyers, young families, or buy-to-let investors seeking a solid, well-located Cape Town apartment with strong neighbourhood fundamentals.
