Located along the Atlantic Seaboard, the area of Green Point has much to offer – including easy access to the city centre, the Waterfront, and the highways. A huge traditional home is now on the market in the area.
Says Seeff area specialist Craig Robinson: "Still offering the romance of a small village, once within the network of smaller roads, the nostalgia of heritage is very evident in Green Point. The frenetic buzz of the retail and commercial developments of Sea Point have been curtailed here, giving it a more relaxed atmosphere. The introduction of select coffee boutiques and retails outlets is creating a strong 'social coffee club' culture."
The pair say that Green Point offers properties across a broad pricing spectrum, from entry-level cottages to the high-end designer homes on Springbok Road. Adds Robinson: "People are rediscovering the draw cards of the area in terms of its position and the weather. Mostly directly north-facing, with Lion's Rump behind, there is good protection from the south-easter here! From the elevated homes Cape Town's landmarks, Robben Island and Table Mountain, are strong focal points."
Many surprises pop up when you stroll through Green Point and look at the different types of home available and what they have to offer. Seeff currently have one such home on their books, which is set on a large erf of 540 m2 (especially large for the Atlantic Seaboard) and offers a very large amount of under-roof living area. Says Debbie Koping, also of Seeff: "This is definitely the largest home we have ever had on our books in Green Point. It is owned by a creative young family who have renovated the home very beautifully, working around its character to retain its ambience. I sold this home to them - they don't want to leave it, but have to relocate owing to professional commitments. They have paid incredible attention to detail throughout and used only the best finishes, such as Quartz carpeting and caesarstone in the kitchen. They also built on a wonderful, large family room which opens with stacked doors on two sides into two different garden spaces."
With 417 m2 of living space, the home has four large bedrooms plus a study or fifth bedroom, with four bathrooms. A creative fantasy garden welcomes you, with a formal lounge, separate dining room, large kitchen plus separate scullery, plus pantry and a laundry, which all flow to the spacious family room. Upstairs are three large bedrooms plus a large master suite, all tastefully renovated. There is garaging as well as parking for three cars.
Koping says the home would suit a large, robust family with sophisticated tastes. "This is a wonderful family home with a lot to offer. It is near the city and Redham School. To find another home with such living capacity in this area would be very difficult. If set in Fresnaye, this property would be selling at R8-9m. At R5.999m with its spectacular size and its location near all amenities, this home is almost undervalued in price and will only increase in value."
