Situated just off the main road in a peaceful residential area of Swellendam, this character-filled home is ready for the right owner to restore it to its former grandeur. Solidly built with original wooden floors and classic wooden ceilings, the home carries the timeless charm and craftsmanship of a bygone era. A classic old-fashioned stoep welcomes you at the entrance, with two wooden decks on each side, perfect to sit and enjoy the quiet surroundings.
Entering the large front door, you are immediately embraced by the warm, homely atmosphere that only a family home can offer. The main property features five spacious bedrooms, all have en-suite bathrooms, making it ideally suited for an expansive family haven. Also ideal for the entertainment connoisseur!
Two comfortable living areas
inside provide inviting spaces for relaxing, reading, or gathering with friends for a great rugby game. At the heart of the home lies a generous kitchen with a centre island, complemented by a separate scullery and laundry, offering both functionality and space for busy households. It also consists of an extra three separate bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. Upstairs is a small bathroom and can be used as an eighth bedroom, though the existing functionality would be better suited for an art studio or extra storage.
The home offers a unique inside-outside living setup, with three double doors throughout, catering for every season. The heart of the entertainment area in the middle is at the braai, complemented with fitted countertops. At the top, the back garden, softened with established shrubs and perennials, creates a tranquil setting that enhances the outdoor living space. It is well finished with a swimming pool that invites long summer afternoons and lively evenings with guests.
The garage on the side provides direct access to the covered stoep at the back and undercover parking alongside the home.
With a little vision and restoration, this property could once again become something truly special. Contact us today and make it your home. Lifestyle - a glass of wine in hand, watching the sun set behind the mountains as the sky turns golden over heritage-rich Swellendam.
