Two charming Cape Dutch houses for sale

Two charming Cape Dutch gabled houses on a corner erf and adjoining erf, in an excellent location, create an ideal backdrop for multi-generational family living in easy comfort. The second house could also be an artist’s studio and
gallery. This property has unique character, that will appeal to the discerning buyer. Most of the hard work has been done, you can simply move in and enjoy it all.

The original Oregon pine floors throughout house have been preserved and maintained. The built-in wardrobe in the main bedroom and the linen cupboard in the passage are also made from Oregon pine.

The 250 m² second, newer house has a handsome gable, elaborating on the theme, yet the interior presents a fun, modern double storey interpretation, which appeals to a younger generation. It has an open plan kitchen, dining
room and lounge, with french doors that spill out onto a huge veranda for family get togethers, with a built-in braai. The two bedrooms are upstairs. The bathroom has a marvelous two person shower, plus bath, basin and loo. There
