3 Bedroom House in Gordon's Bay Village

Description

Just Listed.This beautiful Victorian semi-detached home has 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a kitchen, a living room, and a hallway. One of the very few north-facing beach properties in South Africa. Overlooking and a stones throw from the family-friendly, sandy Milkwood beach. Originally built as a holiday home in 1895 for R.A. Boyes the Boyes were a prominent Cape Town family. The house stayed with the Boyes family until 2001, when it was bought and substantially renovated by the current owners, under the guidance of architect Robert Linacre. Original deeds dating back to 1855 are on-site and will transfer with the property.RENOVATION AND CONDITIONThe home underwent a full restoration, with many original features carefully preserved or restored, including sash windows, wooden floors, high ceilings, and original fireplace facades with a gas fireplace installed. Notable design touches include a cast iron bath and a unique framed garden-view bathroom window. The bedrooms, lounge, bathroom, and hallway all have high ceilings. Bedrooms and lounge have integrated ceiling fans with lights, as well as Oregon pine floors. The roof sheeting has been replaced with matching period green Colorbond. Custom-made, colour-coordinated aluminium shutters are fitted to the bedroom and bathroom windows. A long 6.5 metre garage was built, and the solar-heated swimming pool was added in 2008. The 6.5 x 3.5m swimming pool has a thermal blanket and stretch netting. The home was recently repainted throughout. Furniture is available either for purchase with the home or will go to auction. The house is ready to move into as a home or as a fantastic holiday getaway.UTILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTUREThe property benefits from a spring water supply sourced from the mountain, providing a good supply of water for the garden and pool via a storage tank and automatic pumping system. Solar panels cover lighting and select plug points during outages, with an 3kw inverter and 3kwh lithium battery keeping the internet antenna and security system powered at all times. Internet runs via a fixed wireless antenna, and the kitchen has gas burners. Plumbing for a washing machine is in place behind the fridge, and a DSTV dish is installed but currently unused.SECURITY AND SMART SYSTEMSThe home is connected with 360-degree cameras, including a beach-facing webcam, along with a perimeter and internal alarm, all controlled via cell phone. The alarm is connected to Gordons Bay Security via wireless internet and radio. A smart, internet-based irrigation system automatically delays watering when rain is forecast and runs off the pressurised mountain water supply. The house telephone is VOIP.GARDEN AND EXTRASThe beautiful, well-established rear garden offers a private, secret garden feel with no overlooking neighbours. Complete with period cast iron lamp post and solar-powered light. An outside shower with both hot and cold water, and a solar-heated pool complete the outdoor space. The front garden has a well-established irrigated lawn, plus an abundance of colourful shrubs and flowers. Most furniture and fittings can be included in the sale if the purchaser wishes to make an appropriate offer. The gardener knows the property well and would be a valuable asset for a new owner to retain.Contact Lee-Anne to arrange a viewing.
