Rare Victorian Heritage Opportunity in Fresnaye – Restore a Piece of Cape Town History

Opportunities like this seldom come to market in Fresnaye. Set on a prominent erf with dual street frontage, this grand Victorian residence forms part of the area’s historical character and presents a remarkable opportunity for a buyer with vision.

This heritage home offers beautiful proportions typical of the Victorian era, with expansive living and dining areas on the ground floor that could be transformed into exceptional entertainment spaces. A separate study downstairs provides flexibility for a home office, library, or additional living area.

Upstairs, four bedrooms are privately positioned, opening onto a charming outdoor balcony — a lovely elevated space to enjoy fresh air and the surrounding neighbourhood.

The property also includes two external staff rooms, a large double garage, an established garden, and a substantial swimming pool, all set on generous grounds.

While the home requires a full renovation, the scale, location, and architectural character provide the perfect canvas to restore and create something truly special. With thoughtful design, this property could become a magnificent private residence or potentially a boutique guest house.

Heritage homes of this scale and presence are increasingly rare in Cape Town’s Atlantic Seaboard, making this a unique opportunity for renovators, developers, or buyers seeking a distinctive restoration project.

Please note: As a recognised heritage property, any alterations or renovations would be subject to the necessary approvals from the relevant heritage authorities.
