Character home on offer in Somerset West

MICHAEL James Organisation will offer a character home in an affluent part of Somerset West for public auction at 11.15am on Friday.

Located at No 1 Waveren Avenue, Helderberg Estate, the property has magnificent views and is well-positioned, according to the auction house’s Paula Voges.

“This newly renovated Cape Dutch-style property is elevated above the road, offering panoramic ocean views.”

Also described as Erf 1115, Bakkershoogte, Somerset West, the home is on a corner stand measuring 1 894m².

Its gardens are extremely well suited to withstanding the Western Cape drought, says Voges.

The house includes a guest wing that could serve as part of the family home or be used as separate living quarters.

The home is well-appointed, with interiors that reflect modern living at its best.

It offers four bedrooms in total: two situated in the main section, and two in the guest wing.

“The front door to the house opens to an entrance hall which leads to large open reception rooms, including a TV room with a fireplace.

“To the right is a study with a wooden wall unit and patio doors leading to a private garden.

“To the left are a lounge area, an open-plan kitchen fitted with a centre island with a drop sink, a Whirlpool oven and gas hob. There is also a separate scullery that provides access to a private and sunny garden at the rear of the house.”

The dining room has patio doors opening on to a patio with stunning views.

The master bedroom has a dressing area, a full en-suite bathroom, and patio doors that lead to a private garden.

There is also a second bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.

The guest wing includes an en-suite bedroom and a loft room that is ideal for a study or teenage pad, with bath, basin and a separate toilet, and a private reading lounge that leads on to a patio.

Additional features include a hidden and private swimming pool area positioned to maximise the views, a water-wise garden, a fish pond, a double garage with access via a remotely-operated gate, and an alarm system linked to an armed response company, Voges says.

For an appointment to view the property, contact the Michael James Organisation, or visit the property between 2pm and 4pm on Sunday.
