Located on a leafy street at the foot of Table Mountain, this beautifully restored, two-level Victorian terrace house is at once charming and transporting. Generous living spaces in a palette of terracotta, pistachio and lemonade pink lead onto a sheltered courtyard garden, with every detail designed to evoke feelings of calm and quiet

‍

The Lowdown 

The home strikes a unique balance between its historic architecture and modern amenities. Inside, the floor plan bucks the open-plan living trend, opting instead for a series of generous rooms that flow into each other through high archways, while meticulously crafted, ceiling-height sash windows welcome in an abundance of natural light and views of nearby Table Mountain

Sleeping Arrangements 

Two spacious bedrooms, one with a king- and the other with a queen-sized bed, are situated on the first floor. The two rooms share a bathroom with bath and shower 

‍

What To Expect 

The home comprises two levels: living and dining rooms (which are divided – and linked – by a double wood-burning fireplace), kitchen, guest bathroom and a courtyard garden occupy the ground floor while bedrooms and a private bathroom sit on the floor above, accessed via the home’s original staircase. The kitchen, with SMEG stove/oven, leads outside onto the garden with shady seating area, barbecue/braai, and outdoor shower

The Art House Difference

Moving through the various spaces, guests will encounter a fascinating collection of objects, books and artwork – on bookshelves, in glass cabinets, displayed on tables
