Some apartments offer a view. This one makes a view unavoidable. From the moment you step onto the open balcony off the lounge, Lion's Head fills the sky to the north while the V&A Harbour glitters below, a panorama that shifts with the hour, the weather, and the season.
Morning mist on the mountain. Harbour lights at dusk. The balcony is just wide enough for a table and two chairs, the right size for a slow breakfast, and no larger than it needs to be.
The lower level is open and sociable: a lounge and dining area that spills naturally onto the balcony, a kitchen tucked efficiently to the side, and a storage room that quietly absorbs the overflow of daily life.
Upstairs, the pace slows. A full bathroom with a bath, separate shower, basin and toilet sits at the top of the stairs, followed by a generous main bedroom lined with built-in cupboards. A dedicated study corner makes it easy to stay in Vredehoek without commuting to an office, and the window frames exactly the view you would want while working: the mountain, the suburb's canopy of trees, the particular blue of the Cape sky.
A linen cupboard in the passage keeps the bedroom free of clutter. Everything has been thought about. Included is a store room and a parking space in the communal garage. Rental income currently R20 000 per month.
