| Charm found in Upper Woodstock |
Nestled along Fairview Avenue in Upper Woodstock, this charming semi-detached home blends original character with thoughtful modern updates—offering the best of Cape Town’s heritage and urban living. Set behind a leafy front courtyard, this is one of those Woodstock homes that instantly feels grounded in place, part of the neighbourhood’s creative rhythm and layered history.
Once a seaside village and later a thriving hub for artisans, merchants, and families, Woodstock is one of Cape Town’s oldest suburbs. Its architecture tells a story of resilience and reinvention, with Victorian terraces, cobbled lanes, and a skyline framed by Table Mountain. Today, it remains a neighbourhood known for its rich cultural mix, artistic community, and proximity to both the City Bowl and some of the city’s most beloved cafés—Stelsky’s, just around the corner on Salisbury Street, being a local favourite.
Step inside and the home welcomes you with Oregon pine floors, high ceilings, and generous proportions throughout. The two bedrooms, both located off the main hallway, the master featuring original fireplace—still in working condition—and large sash windows that invite in natural light. Continuing through the passage, the central lounge is a warm and inviting space, perfect for quiet evenings or gatherings with friends.
The kitchen at the rear of the home has been updated with clean lines, tiled floors, ample cabinetry, and a gas hob, while the bathroom offers a sleek, modern four-piece setup including both a walk-in shower and bath. All fittings are tastefully chosen, and the entire space has been freshly repainted and polished.
At the back of the house, the lounge opens onto a covered patio—a peaceful outdoor space shielded from the wind and framed by established trees. Paved and private, it’s ideal for year-round entertaining or quiet mornings with a book and coffee.
As with most homes in this part of the city, parking is on-street, but Fairview Avenue remains one of the more sought-after residential stretches in Woodstock thanks to its views, atmosphere, and proximity to the action.
Whether you're looking for your first home, scaling down, or seeking a smart investment in a fast-appreciating neighbourhood, this is a beautifully cared-for property in a location that continues to rise in both charm and demand.
