About this property

Tucked away in the sought-after suburb of Garlandale — nestled between Rondebosch East and Sybrand Park — this beautifully renovated garden apartment in the well-run complex known as The Junction offers an exceptional lifestyle at an accessible price point. The unit comprises 2 bedrooms and 1 modern bathroom with quality finishes and a separate shower. The fully open-plan kitchen is a true highlight, featuring white high-gloss wrapped cupboards, white Quartz stone countertops, a 4-seater Quartz stone diner, and a full suite of built-in appliances including a washing machine, double-door fridge, microwave, oven, hob, and integrated ironing board. Porcelain tiles flow through the main living areas with laminate flooring in the bedrooms, and aluminium windows throughout. A sliding door opens directly onto the apartment's most distinctive asset: a generous 50 m² private courtyard/garden — fully enclosed, paved in brick, and large enough to accommodate outdoor dining and a children's play area. Security is well covered with electric fencing, a manned on-site security guard, and a gated entrance. One secure undercover parking bay is included. The complex is professionally managed with up-to-date financials, and rental income in the block is reliably between R9,500 and R10,000 per unit — making this an equally compelling buy-to-let opportunity. St. Raphael's RC Primary School is a short stroll away (approx. 54 m), Carrington Park is within easy reach (approx. 85 m), and Shoprite Athlone is roughly 320 m from your door. Athlone Station (approx. 250 m) provides convenient rail access to the broader Cape Town metro.
