Property description

 Renovated Mountainside Home with Sea Views, Pool and Second-Dwelling Potential - VAT Included, No Transfer Duty

TEAM RAMOS EXCLUSIVE SOLE MANDATE   

A particularly interesting opportunity in Mountainside, Gordon's Bay: a comprehensively renovated three-bedroom home with beautiful False Bay and mountain views, together with the potential to develop a completely separate second dwelling on the property.

VAT IS INCLUDED IN THE ADVERTISED PURCHASE PRICE - NO TRANSFER DUTY IS PAYABLE.

This is an important financial advantage for purchasers. As the transaction is VAT-inclusive, there is no additional transfer duty payable over and above the purchase price. For a purchaser using bond finance, the VAT-inclusive purchase price can potentially be financed as part of the approved bond, subject to the bank's valuation and lending criteria. Purchasers remain responsible for the applicable conveyancing/transfer attorney costs.

A Home - With an Additional Property Opportunity

One of the most compelling aspects of 25 Boundary Road is what the property could offer beyond the existing home.

The current owners have commenced plans for a second, double-storey dwelling, designed to operate independently from the main residence. Draft plans are available on request and concept drawings can be viewed at the end of the photographs.

Subject to the necessary municipal and other approvals, this creates several interesting possibilities:

• Build a separate home for long-term rental income

• Develop a short-term or holiday rental in this popular coastal location

• Create independent accommodation for extended family

• Potentially investigate subdivision or sectionalisation and the future sale of the second component

• Retain both properties and create two income-producing assets on one site

For a purchaser prepared to take the development further, this represents a genuine opportunity to unlock additional value from the property rather than simply buying the existing home.

The Main House:

Set against the Mountainside slopes of Gordon's Bay, the existing double-storey home has been extensively renovated while retaining much of the character that makes it distinctive.

Textured plaster walls, arched windows, timber-clad ceilings and curved architectural details are complemented by contemporary finishes throughout.

The result is a home with considerably more personality than a conventional modern build.

The ground floor centres around a generous open-plan kitchen and dining/entertainment area. Terrazzo-style tiled floors, a large marble-look centre island with seating, five-burner gas stove and oven, and ample cabinetry create a practical space for everyday living as well as entertaining.

The kitchen and dining area flow into a separate lounge with recessed display niches and direct access to the garden.

Two bedrooms are situated on this level, both opening through French doors onto the back garden with easy access to the swimming pool. These bedrooms share a shower bathroom.

An Entire Floor for the Main Suite

The first floor is dedicated to an unusually spacious main bedroom suite.

The bedroom incorporates a sculpted corner fireplace, fitted dressing area and large en-suite bathroom with a freestanding round bath, double vanity with brushed-gold fittings and a walk-in tiled shower.

Sliding doors open onto a substantial covered balcony.

From here, the position of the property becomes particularly apparent, with views across False Bay in one direction and towards the Hottentots Holland mountains in the other.

It is a wonderful elevated space from which to watch the changing colours of the bay and the mountains catching the last light of the day.

Pool, Garden and Outdoor Living:

The established garden includes mature trees, terraced planting and a swimming pool positioned to enjoy excellent sun.

An outdoor braai alongside the pool creates a relaxed entertainment area and an ideal setting for summer afternoons with family and friends.

The home's whitewashed exterior, shuttered entrance and curved front steps add a distinctive Mediterranean character particularly well suited to its Gordon's Bay setting.

Excellent Parking and Storage

An extra-length garage provides useful space for a larger vehicle, boat, trailer, bicycles or workshop requirements.

There is also secure off-street parking for a further two vehicles beneath a carport and behind the property's sliding entrance gate.

The Area: Mountainside, Gordon's Bay

Mountainside combines elevated coastal living with convenient access to Gordon's Bay and the greater Helderberg.

Gordon's Bay Harbour, local cafés and restaurants are only a few minutes away, while Bikini Beach and the coastline provide easy access to swimming and outdoor activities.

Clarence Drive - regarded as one of the Cape's most spectacular coastal routes - leads towards Kogel Bay, Rooi-Els and the natural beauty of the surrounding coastline.

Somerset West, schools, shopping centres, Stellenbosch and the Cape Winelands are also conveniently accessible.

Why this Property Stands Out:

This is not simply a renovated three-bedroom home with a pool and views.

It offers a combination that is difficult to replicate: an established and extensively renovated Mountainside property, sea and mountain views, excellent outdoor living, VAT included with no transfer duty payable, and the potential to develop a second independent dwelling and unlock further value from the property.

For the purchaser who recognises the potential of the site, the second-dwelling opportunity could transform this from an attractive coastal home into a considerably more versatile long-term property investment.
