SOLD. Contemporary Cape Dutch Cottage.

R8 750 000
Dual Mandate. This Cape Dutch style cottage is well-located within the village. Immaculately finished and maintained over the years, this lovely home presents as both a calm sanctuary in neutral shades as well as a creative canvas to showcase the interior design owner’s appreciation for vibrant street art and contemporary design.
A parterre garden creates a sense of order and symmetry alongside a farm-style swimming pool and is perfectly balanced with Iceberg roses, exotica lemon trees, lemon blossom, rosemary and snowdrift thyme, all of which add a lovely perfume to the garden and a restful place to enjoy in company or on your own. The north-facing garden and covered patio benefits from optimal sunshine through the seasons along with gorgeous mountain views.
Cape Dutch architecture has been pared down in this home to create clean, simple lines with minimal fuss and plenty of charm. The interior, with its cement screed floors, sash windows and double-volume, exposed thatch living areas, comprises an open-plan lounge (with feature fireplace) and dining room adjacent to a bespoke, crisp white kitchen with contrasting dark stone countertops. A central kitchen island offers a practical prep counter and further storage. Living areas spill out to the covered patio, creating an extended space for outdoor entertaining and lounging overlooking the garden, pool and sunset views.
Leading off from the lounge, an idyllic work space offers lots of built-in storage. Two generous sized bedrooms present high ceilings (with no exposed thatch), sash windows and well-appointed en-suite bathrooms. The third bedroom annex has outside access from the covered walk-way and makes an ideal guest suite with private en-suite bathroom.
A private borehole, two garages and additional off-street parking complete this sought after home in the Franschhoek Winelands.
