Description

Welcome to Petunia Cottage, a beautiful national monument home in the heart of sought-after Little Chelsea. Ideally located within a moment’s walk of trendy Wolfe Street, with its ever-popular selection of coffee shops, restaurants, décor stores and Maynardville Park. Close to key transport routes, UCT, leading schools, and a short drive from Constantia’s famous wine farms, forest walks, Virgin Active, Constantia Village and Cavendish Square shopping centres, medical facilities, religious buildings, as well as the Newlands lifestyle hub.

This delightful semi-detached charmer offers an open plan living area, 2 bedrooms, one bathroom and fireplace, with the main bedroom and kitchen opening into a gorgeous Mediterranean themed courtyard attracting squirrels and birdlife. The carefully considered courtyard is a real feature, offering a tranquil escape and enviable under-the-stars entertainment space with a fountain, silver-leaf garden, birdbath, beautiful pots and includes top-end outdoor furniture (with cover), specifically chosen for the design. The luxurious outdoor daybed easily transforms, opening up into a 4-6 seater outdoor lounge with a dining table. The front garden, with a stylish array of porch pots, roses and silver hedges, has made this cottage well-known for its curb appeal.

Dating back to the late 1800’s, this cottage has remained true to its heritage, and holds the integrity of many original and historically sensitive additions such as the façade, exterior stone walls, fireplace, brass taps, sash windows and a stained glass window above the front door with thumb-latch. The quaint protected Old Wynberg Village precinct is filled with charming historically significant buildings, providing a lovely walk on your doorstep and an ongoing fascinating attraction to tourists and locals alike. It is also an easy drive from the airport, CBD and Atlantic Seaboard.

Security features include an armed response linked alarm system with a courtyard beam and burglar bars on all outside doors and most windows. Beautiful light parquet flooring runs throughout most of the home, with quarry tiles in the kitchen and bathroom, and a Butler sink in the kitchen.

On-street parking is directly outside, just a step away from the front door, with the additional possibility of off-street overnight parking offered a short walk away by arrangement for a reasonable fee.
