3 Bedroom Modern Character Family Home With Mountain And City Views In Oranjezicht

Set against the spectacular backdrop of Table Mountain, this three-bedroom Oranjezicht home combines warm architectural character, generous living spaces and elevated outlooks across the City Bowl. With architectural work undertaken by Mark Thomas, whose practice collaborated on Kirstenbosch’s celebrated Boomslang canopy walkway, the home brings together distinctive timber detailing, expansive windows and an inviting connection to the outdoors with Windows on all sides welcoming natural light throughout the day, giving the home a bright, uplifting atmosphere and a constant connection to the surrounding greenery and views. Recently repainted inside and out, it is beautifully presented throughout. A welcoming entrance vestibule with guest toilet leads through stained-glass doors into the central hallway, where a timber staircase and wooden floors establish the home’s character. The spacious lounge and formal dining area feature a fireplace, bay window and fitted timber cabinetry. Large sliding doors open onto a generous covered timber terrace, creating an easy flow for entertaining. A separate open-plan kitchen, casual dining and informal sitting area forms the heart of everyday living. The kitchen features a substantial timber-topped island with breakfast seating, a freestanding SMEG oven and gas hob, and a separate scullery with dishwasher. Sliding doors connect these spaces to the terrace on one side and a deck leading towards the garden on the other. The L-shaped terrace is a standout feature, with exposed timber beams, sheltered space for outdoor dining and lounging, and an adjoining plunge pool. Leafy surroundings and mountain views provide a beautiful setting for relaxed afternoons and gatherings with friends. All three double bedrooms are upstairs, with beautiful herringbone parquet flooring and built-in cupboards. The generous main bedroom enjoys a large picture window framing views across the treetops towards the city. Its en-suite bathroom includes a bath, large separate shower, double basin and separate toilet. The second bedroom also enjoys city views through a large picture window and has direct access to the shared family bathroom. This bathroom is also accessible from the hallway to serve the third bedroom, which enjoys views towards Table Mountain and Lion’s Head.
