R8,700,000 | 5 Bedroom House For Sale in Milnerton Central

An exceptional Cape Dutch heritage estate awaits, combining architectural distinction with the ease of modern day living. Built in 1904, this grand residence carries a story woven into the fabric of Milnerton’s history. Rich in character and stature, it has stood the test of time, offering not only a glimpse into Cape heritage but also a lifestyle of comfort, versatility, and prestige. Over the years it has gracefully evolved, once operated as a prestigious four star Bed & Breakfast that welcomed countless guests, weddings, and celebratory occasions. Today, it presents itself as a remarkable opportunity, ideally suited for a large or extended family, those seeking a dual living arrangement, or an entrepreneur envisioning a thriving guesthouse once again.

Lovingly restored, the home is a true harmony of the old and the new. Period features such as bay windows, French doors, and Victorian fireplaces speak to its distinguished past, while contemporary touches including a 16 panel solar system with inverter ensure convenience and sustainability for modern living. From the moment you step inside, the sense of elegance and timeless warmth is unmistakable.

The ground floor welcomes you with generously proportioned living spaces, each designed to create both intimacy and grandeur. An elegant TV room framed by its original bay windows invites natural light to pour in, while a formal dining room with its classic Victorian fireplace doubles as a cosy winter retreat or the perfect setting for a lavish dinner party. A light-filled sunroom opens up through French doors to a north facing stoep, leading seamlessly into a large entertainment space fitted with a built in braai, pizza oven, and even a six seater Jacuzzi perfect for gathering family and friends on summer evenings. A thoughtfully designed guest suite with a private entrance offers independence for visitors, while a dedicated office holds a delightful surprise in the form of a wine cellar, cleverly built into what was once the property’s original safe. The kitchen is a dream for any culinary enthusiast, featuring both gas and electric cooking options, an eat in area for casual dining, a built in bar fridge, dishwasher, and wood burner. A separate scullery and laundry area provide additional functionality with ample storage, a shower room, and practicality at every turn.

Upstairs, the accommodation is both luxurious and versatile. The master suite is a true sanctuary, complete with a lavish en suite bathroom, a spacious walk-in wardrobe, and additional closet space for every need. A second bedroom, equally impressive, boasts its own en suite bathroom, a private balcony, and sweeping vistas of the iconic Table Mountain. The third bedroom mirrors this charm with its own en suite and dressing room, complemented by enchanting views that stretch towards Lion’s Head and Cape Town Stadium.

In addition to the main residence, a self contained duplex flat offers privacy and independence for family, guests, or potential tenants. With its own separate entrance, the unit includes a kitchen and living area on the lower level, while upstairs you’ll find a north facing balcony, a spacious bedroom that doubles as a living area, a walk in dressing room, and a bathroom fitted with a shower over bath.

The outdoor setting is as impressive as the interior. Manicured and mature landscaped gardens create a peaceful escape, supported by a well point, 5,000 litre water storage tanks, an automated irrigation system, and full perimeter lighting. A sparkling saltwater swimming pool, complete with heat pump, water feature, and pool cover, forms the heart of the garden, inviting endless days of relaxation or vibrant entertaining. A double automated garage provides secure parking, with additional space for convenience.

Location could not be more ideal, with the property situated in close proximity to a wealth of amenities.

Families are well catered for with excellent schools, daycare facilities, and community services in the area, while trendy restaurants, cafés, and family friendly eateries ensure every craving is satisfied.
