Apartment for sale in Tamboerskloof, Cape Town

Art Deco Charm with Garden Views in the City Bowl

Set within beautiful El Dorado, an Art Deco building in the City Bowl, this three bedroom, two bathroom apartment offers the kind of proportions, light, and character that are becoming increasingly difficult to find.

The building is positioned on a quiet, leafy road, surrounded by extremely well maintained grounds and a peaceful communal garden. In a part of Cape Town known for its closeness to the city, Table Mountain, Kloof Street, Company’s Garden, and the everyday energy of the City Bowl, this apartment offers a wonderful balance between central convenience and calm residential living.

The City Bowl has always carried a special place in Cape Town’s story, shaped by the mountain, the harbour, and the historic streets that grew around the original town. Today, it remains one of the most desirable parts of the city, where older apartment buildings, leafy avenues, cafes, schools, restaurants, and cultural landmarks all form part of the daily rhythm.

From the entrance hall, the apartment opens into a bright and welcoming lounge with wooden floors in beautiful condition, tall ceilings, and broad windows overlooking the communal gardens. It is a calm and inviting living space, with the kind of light, outlook, and easy volume that gives older apartments their lasting appeal.

The lounge connects to the modern open plan kitchen, with a small storeroom nearby that can also be used as a pantry. The kitchen is finished with screed floors, wooden countertops, a subway tile backsplash, brass hardware on the lower cabinetry, open shelving above, a ceramic main basin, an extractor, and a freestanding gas stove with an electric oven. There is plumbing for both a washing machine and dishwasher, making the space as practical as it is stylish. A back door leads out onto a small balcony, adding a useful outdoor pause point to the apartment.

There are three bedrooms, all with wooden floors, large windows, natural light, and floor to ceiling built in cupboards. The bedrooms carry the benefit of older apartment proportions, with tall ceilings and a comfortable sense of space throughout.

The apartment has two bathrooms. One bathroom is fitted with a shower over bath, while the second bathroom is fitted with a shower, giving the apartment practical flexibility for family living, shared living, or guests.

The grounds at El Dorado are a real feature of the building. The communal garden is beautifully kept, with a quiet spot in the middle where a bench and cafe table create a peaceful place to read, have tea, or simply enjoy the greenery.

Security is also well considered, with electric fencing around the property, facial recognition access at the pedestrian gate, and cameras positioned at the entrance to view the street.

With its Art Deco setting, wooden floors, tall ceilings, modern kitchen, two bathrooms, excellent storage, beautiful gardens, and secure access, this apartment offers a rare opportunity to enjoy classic City Bowl living in a peaceful and exceptionally well kept building.
