This bright and homey double-storey semi-detached house on Milner Road in Woodstock was built in 1920, during the Georgian era, and gentle maintenance means that many of the warmth and original character features are intact. The street is wide, and the home is perched above street level, overlooking a large front veranda.
The ground floor has interleading dining room and lounge, the latter of which is open to the original wooden staircase, the former with a big window overlooking the front veranda and a working fireplace.
The kitchen, although ready for its update, is generous and comfortable. If retro-linoleum is your thing, you are in luck. Behind the kitchen is the family bathroom with a large old-school tub and shower over bath.
Upstairs, the main bedroom, light-filled and airy, with a sunny upstairs balcony overlooking the City Bowl and Lions Head. The veranda enjoys a view over the whole city, from a stripe of Table Bay and the sea, across Woodstock and up to the slopes of Table Mountain.
The middle bedroom is generous and has a big window onto the back yard. Along the upstairs landing is a bathroom with a shower, and then at the back, the smallest of the three bedrooms, with a nice window, large enough for a full-size bed and a desk.
This home has been rented to three young professionals, but would make a wonderful family home. There is no parking on the property, but there is loads of parking along the wide street out front. This home is just waiting for its new owner and new memories.
