Modern family living in historic Ascot Road, Kenilworth

On show Saturday 25th September 1PM - 2.30PM

EXCLUSIVE MANDATE

Set in one of Kenilworth’s most sought-after pockets, this warm and welcoming four-bedroom family home offers an exceptional combination of location, character, security and easy modern living.

Perfectly positioned in the Kenilworth school district, the home is nestled between Michael Oak Waldorf School and Cedar House, making it an especially attractive location for families.

Ascot Road itself forms part of an area rich in Cape Town history. Nelson Mandela’s former safe house is located on this historic road, while the home directly across the road was designed and built by students of renowned architect Sir Herbert Baker – adding a wonderful sense of heritage to this established neighbourhood.

The house comprises four bedrooms and two bathrooms, with comfortable, modern living spaces designed around family life.

At the heart of the home is a warm and inviting lounge featuring a wood-burning fireplace, creating a wonderfully cosy space during Cape Town’s cooler winter months. Large stacking doors open directly onto the outdoor deck, allowing the living area to flow seamlessly outside and creating a relaxed, easy space for entertaining friends and family throughout the warmer months.

The garden has been designed to be both charming and wonderfully manageable. Its smaller footprint means less maintenance while still offering plenty of outdoor living. At the back, an AstroTurf area currently doubles as the children’s play area at the back, while the garden also features a vegetable patch, granadilla vine and pomegranate tree.

The property is exceptionally well equipped, with a well point and automated irrigation system servicing the entire garden, as well as water storage tanks providing additional water resilience. A GeyserWise system provides energy-conscious control of the geyser and hot-water usage.

Security and home automation have been thoughtfully integrated throughout the property. The home features electric fencing, security cameras, an alarm system and two roller security shutters. For added convenience and peace of mind, key security functions are connected to a smart home system, allowing the pedestrian entrance, roller shutters and alarm system to be controlled remotely via an app – even when you are away from home.

There is secure parking for two vehicles, with one single garage and one covered carport, securely positioned behind the automated entrance. The laundry area is situated at the back of the garage.

This is a home that manages to feel modern yet cosy, practical yet full of personality. With its excellent school access, sought-after Kenilworth location, fascinating historical surroundings, smart-home convenience and easy family lifestyle, it offers a wonderful opportunity to settle into one of the Southern Suburbs’ most established neighbourhoods.
