Charming Cape Dutch Heritage House in the Heart of the Winelands

Nestled in the heart of a green, leafy suburb in the historic center of town, this beautifully renovated Cape Dutch heritage home offers a great opportunity to own a piece of history in the breathtaking Winelands of the Western Cape. Built in 1818, this grand residence has been lovingly restored, blending its classic architectural elements with modern comforts.

Upon entering, you are welcomed by the spacious "voorhuis" a hallmark of Cape Dutch homes, which flows seamlessly into the expansive dining room (traditionally the "middle huis" - the "gaandereij" or gallery/living room). The home's characteristic H-shape has been thoughtfully enhanced, with one open side enclosed to create a cozy living room, complete with a bathroom - perfectly suited to be repurposed as an en-suite bedroom for added flexibility.

Two additional en-suite bedrooms are located in the wings off the "voorhuis" each offering built-in cupboards with modern bathrooms.
The large, farm-style kitchen, with a central island and authentic "vuurhert", is a cook's dream, ideal for hosting family and friends. Adjacent to the kitchen, is the study, with a barndoor leading to the spacious lounge. With its wood-burning fireplace, it provides warmth and atmosphere on cooler evenings. From the lounge, a door opens to a private courtyard, featuring a built-in braai, perfect for entertaining under the Cape skies.


Step out from the study onto the open elevated back stoep and take in the tranquil views of the lush garden, with mature trees and framed by the majestic Paarl mountains in the distance. Here, a sparkling swimming pool offers the perfect spot to cool off, while a one-bedroom cottage provides a private space for guests or additional rental income.

Additional features of this house are the double garage that has direct access to the house, and a loft with an outside staircase.

This house is situated just 650m from one of best schools in the country and around the corner of some of Paarl's favourite restaurants.

This historic gem, with its blend of timeless Cape Dutch architecture and modern amenities, is a rare find in the Winelands, offering a serene lifestyle in an idyllic setting.
