With two bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms (the latter currently in use as a laundry room) and views of Table Mountain over Observatory and the City Bowl, this airy corner apartment in The Factory, an apartment block in the heart of Observatory, is a must-see.
Situated on the outermost corner of the complex, on the top floor, just below the newly renovated pool deck, this unit enjoys the best spot in the building. Vistas and a gentle breeze pour in from two sides. The slopes of Table Mountain as seen across the Observatory rooftops fills the frame of one glass door, Lions Head and the City Bowl the other.
The main bedroom has loads of storage with a full wall of mirrored built-in cupboards, and a window overlooking the Observatory skyline.
The second bedroom has a modern industrial feel, with exposed concrete ceilings and a factory-style sliding door. It is large enough to accommodate a double bed.
The open layout connects the living room, dining area, and kitchen, and the flat has amazing flow. The raw concrete ceilings give the flat a cool, urban vibe.
The kitchen is compact yet efficient, with cabinetry in a matte charcoal. Paired with light stone countertops and a pale glass splash back, the space feeling bright and uncluttered. An exposed brick wall is a standout feature.
Above, the exposed concrete ceiling and visible metal cable trays reinforce the industrial character. A compact ceiling fan sits centrally, and lighting has been careful considered. Three small spotlights, integrated into the metal conduits provide focused lighting and three simple pendant lights hang over the cooking area. A built-in oven with a glass door, a ceramic hob, a stainless-steel extractor hood are all included in the sale of this unit. A separate pantry provides household storage and is a huge plus for the home cook cook who wishes to have well-stocked pantry, but who also loves the home’s minimalist aesthetic.
The Factory has loads of communal amenities to add to the appeal. There is a laundry service within the building, and a Rooftop Terrace with breath-taking views and a swimming pool. Residents have access to a fitness centre equipped with modern exercise equipment. The rooftop has been recently upgraded to include seating areas for al fresco dining with friends, or quiet WFH opportunities in a peaceful outdoor setting.
The building has a laundry and recycling facilities, and was recently equipped with solar power which runs the heat pumps for hot water, free of charge. All water is included in the levies, and the building is known for fantastic water pressure, which along with unlimited hot water is a big plus. The unit is wired for high speed internet. All apartments enjoy free back up power, compliments of the rooftop solar panels.
The building offers 24/7 security and controlled access, ensuring your safety and peace of mind, and the parking space which comes with the apartment is under cover (dry during the rain!) and accessed
