St James, Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa

This charming dual-living seaside home is perfectly suited as a holiday escape or a permanent residence with the bonus of extra income. Fully renovated with flair, it offers a delightful blend of style, quirkiness and character-topped off with a breathtaking, unobstructed panorama across False Bay.

A stone staircase winds gracefully down to the entrance, with a shared funicular available to help transport parcels with ease. A fairytale terraced garden welcomes you, complete with three sculpted lion heads spouting into a tranquil water feature

The main house features an expansive open-plan living area that captures both warmth and space: a cosy fireside nook, a generous lounge and dining area with stacker doors opening out to the spectacular views, and a charming open-plan kitchen with a separate laundry area. Two comfortable bedrooms and two bathrooms complete the main level.

The luxurious master suite occupies the entire top floor, commanding sweeping ocean views that stretch endlessly across the bay. The en-suite bathroom is beautifully illuminated by coloured light through a stained-glass window, while a spacious dressing area adds the final touch of indulgence.

Below the main house, a fully self-contained one-bedroom flatlet with its own separate entrance offers excellent potential for Airbnb income or private guest accommodation. Immaculately presented, it includes a kitchen, lounge, bedroom, bathroom and its own outdoor area with views.

Additional features include a lock-up garage on Boyes Drive, water tanks, solar heating and more-everything you need for comfortable, efficient coastal living.
