5 Bedroom Architectural Family Home on 1 630m² with Mountain Views

EXCLUSIVE SOLE MANDATE

Positioned on an expansive north-facing erf in one of Somerset West’s most sought-after established neighbourhoods, this substantial residence captures uninterrupted Helderberg mountain views and represents a category of property that is becoming increasingly rare — a home defined by land, orientation, scale and enduring construction quality.

Rooted in the late modern South African suburban tradition, the architecture reflects a time when homes were designed for real family living, with generous proportions, a clear spatial rhythm and a strong connection to the garden. The face-brick structure, welcoming entrance hall and central staircase create an immediate sense of arrival, while the separation between the living areas allows for quiet winter evenings around the fireplace and also clear scope to introduce a contemporary open-plan flow.

A private driveway leads to an extra-width automated double garage with additional covered parking, reinforcing the feeling of space and privacy. The generous lounge is filled with natural light and fireplace, the dining room opens naturally towards the rear patio and garden, and the north-facing front veranda becomes a year-round living space framed by mountain views.

The kitchen retains its original footprint and offers the volume to be reimagined as a modern central hub with a full scullery and laundry — a transformation that would immediately unlock the home’s full lifestyle potential. A private en-suite bedroom on the ground floor offers flexibility for guests, extended family, dual living or a work-from-home suite, while a guest toilet and under-stair storage add to the practicality of the layout.

Upstairs, the accommodation continues the theme of light and proportion. The main suite is spacious and tranquil with ensuite bathroom, complemented by three further well-sized bedrooms. Built-in cupboards throughout, carpets to the bedrooms and passages, and tiled kitchen and bathrooms but is also ready for a new contemporary interpretation and upgrade.

The established garden wraps around the home with mature trees and expansive open space — a rare canvas for landscaping, outdoor living and the addition of a view-facing pool. The built-in braai and paved entertainment area form a natural starting point for future enhancement. At the rear, the domestic accommodation with existing plumbing and electricity creates the opportunity for a cottage, studio or dual-living solution with a separate entrance.

The property is secured with an alarm system and perimeter walling and fencing and is located within the catchment area for leading schools, with easy access to Stellenbosch, the N2, the beach and Cape Town.

For buyers who recognise the long-term value of position, north orientation, mountain views and solid construction, this home presents a compelling opportunity to modernise and personalise a residence of exceptional scale and setting.

Properties offering this combination of land size, views, position and structural integrity seldom remain available for long. Book your private viewing urgently.
