On the slopes of Table Mountain, minutes drive or walk from Central Cape Town, sits this uniquely- charming property. Within similar close proximity are Constantia, UCT, St George’s Cathedral, St Cyprians School, Jan van Riebeeck High, Camps Bay, Sea Point and Clifton beaches and the Kloof Street restaurant district.
Enjoying spectacular views of Table Mountain, city, harbour, and the Atlantic ocean, and in particular nightscapes of the city lights and the mountain, this is arguably the prettiest cottage in Cape Town. House ‘Hoogstede’ has Georgian features, including a classical front door, fireplace, Georgian windows and original shutters. Tastefully modernised in 2010 with gabled first floor to provide vast 22 metre open –plan bedroom, en-suite bathroom and study area with French doors facing the mountain. The 2 bedrooms downstairs are tranquil and spacious and there are a total of three bathrooms, two en-suite. Outside is covered standing for three cars and a neat garden with well-established teak and fruit trees including, apricot, pear, avocado, kumquat and fig, around a large, 10-metre heated swimming pool.
Huge, columned, quarry tiled porch/stoep along entire front of house is ideal for entertaining, and again features unique views of the mountain. On the mountain side a second entertainment terrace shaded by an ancient oak tree features a columned al –fresco kitchen with a professionally-built bread/pizza oven. Here there is a large fish pond / water feature.
Directly opposite Hoogstede , Cape Town Council has this year designated - and maintains - a new Park with children’s playground, adult exercise facilities and a coffee hut; thus providing the house with unlimited entertainment parking, and much enhanced security.
Security is excellent with electric front gates. Fenced on three sides, walled on one. Electric box beams surround the house. ADT and internal alarms.
