About this property
No transfer duty applies on this stylish 75 m² two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment in The Winchester — a contemporary multi-storey residential development set in the heart of Observatory, Cape Town.
The open-plan living and dining area is generously proportioned, fitted with warm wood-look laminate flooring and large sliding glass doors that lead directly onto a balcony offering sweeping views across the suburb and beyond. The kitchen is fully fitted with gloss-finish cabinetry in grey and white tones, a stone-look countertop island/breakfast bar, induction hob, under-counter oven, and stainless-steel sink — plumbed for two appliances. Both bedrooms feature built-in cupboards and sliding doors or windows opening to natural light; the main bedroom has direct balcony access.
The Winchester offers 24-hour secure access with intercom entry to each unit, a communal pool deck, and a gymnasium. One secure parking bay is included.
The building is superbly positioned in Observatory's vibrant Lower Main Road precinct — steps from UrbanTikka, Kind Regards, and a cluster of independent cafés and restaurants, with a KWIKSPAR (±85 m), Station Road Park (±65 m), Arnold Street Dog Park (±136 m), and Observatory Station (±252 m) all within easy reach. UCT Medical Centre is roughly 316 m away.
