RONDEBOSCH’S GOLDEN MILE STILL THE FIRST CHOICE OF THE TRADITIONAL SOUTHERN SUBURBS FAMILY

Cape Town’s “traditionally good” suburban precincts remain to this day the first choice of a certain section of the buying population, says Lanice Steward, MD of Anne Porter Knight Frank.

 “If you are young, with-it and upwardly mobile you will probably opt for Fresnaye or Constantia but for perhaps some buyers there is still nothing quite so attractive as an old Kenilworth home or one on the Rondebosch Golden Mile precinct.”

 “Homes here,” said Steward, “may to some seem to be old fashioned but their conservative solidness and their Victorian and Edwardian features are exactly what appeals to the traditionally-minded Cape Town buyer – and I do not believe this will ever change.”

 These comments were sparked by APKF’s bringing to the market another Rondebosch Golden Mile home, one that, say the APKF agents, Otilia Harker and Jeanne Cowan, absolutely typifies the type of old Cape home Steward had in mind. 

 It has a massive entrance hall, a large living room with a fireplace, a dining room, study and TV room (all with air-conditioning) and beautifully maintained wooden floors.

 A sweeping staircase leads to four first floor bedrooms and two bathrooms and in the garden there is a big pool.  A double garage and off-street parking can together take four cars.

 “Peace and comfort are exuded from every room in this home,” said Harker.  “It is in every sense gracious, calm and elegant.”
