Externally, the house has been restored to her former glory and internally, she has had a complete make-over from the kitchens and en suite bathrooms down to the travertine floors. The elegance of the original sash windows and architraves expertly blend the old with the new.
Barley Beach is directly below the house, Theatre on the Bay and it's restaurant is only two minutes walk away, and a 4 minute amble to the famous Camps Bay Beach and boulevard with Cape Town's finest restaurants, pavement cafes and shops; close to famous Clifton beaches, just a drive away from the V & A Waterfront and spectacular Table Mountain cableway.
Upper Level:
The self-catering accommodation upstairs level has three bedrooms all en-suite. The two main bedrooms have king-sized beds, the finest percale linen, and ocean views and the added feature of large baths opening up into the bedrooms. The third bedroom (two singles that, on request, can be made up into a king-sized bed) has its own private patio with views of the sea and mountain as well as a secluded outdoor Victorian bath in the garden! The modern open plan, fully equipped kitchen looks through the sitting room with fireplace, to the glass enclosed balcony which can be opened up completely to bring the sea and mountains into the house! The kitchen also leads onto an elegant dining room with beautiful eight-seater Victorian table plus piano! From the dining room you step out onto the pool deck which is perfect for entertaining or a dip in the crystal clear pool which overlooks the sea not 30 m away!
Lower Level:
The downstairs unit features two bedrooms with bathrooms en-suite, a fully equipped kitchen and a combined sitting and dining room that spills out onto a private patio. There is also an outdoor private bath area. Antiques, original artworks, and beautiful vintage furniture from the 1920's are creatively coupled with modern conveniences to make this unique home welcoming and cozy.
