5 Bedroom House for sale in De Waterkant

Positioned in the heart of De Waterkant, one of Cape Town's most desirable and characterful neighbourhoods, 31 Jarvis Street is a rare freehold opportunity that seamlessly blends Victorian era Cape Town architecture with considered, boutique hospitality design. The property comprises five individually styled en-suite bedrooms, each featuring original artwork, plantation shutters on sash windows, air conditioning, wall-mounted smart TVs and in-room safes. Several rooms showcase the building's original arched yellowwood doorways and thick whitewashed walls (hallmarks of the neighbourhood's historic fabric), while others open directly onto private outdoor spaces. One standout room boasts its own spiral staircase leading to a private rooftop terrace with uninterrupted views of Table Mountain and Signal Hill. The communal heart of the home is a striking Mediterranean-inspired dining and gathering room, anchored by a classic black Victorian fireplace framed by a handcrafted zellige tile alcove. Bold teal feature walls carry floating timber shelving styled with ceramics and greenery, and the space is furnished with a long communal oak table surrounded by classic rattan bistro chairs. Effortlessly inviting. Outside, an enclosed courtyard tiled in traditional encaustic star-pattern cement tiles provides a vibrant social hub, shaded by a large cantilever umbrella and enlivened by a bold painted surf mural. A water feature, lush potted greenery and cafe´-style seating complete the picture. Styled and configured to a high guest house standard, the property is primed for an investor looking to launch a boutique hospitality operation, or for an owner seeking a generous, characterful home in one of the Mother City's most walkable and culturally rich precincts, minutes from the V&A Waterfront, Green Point and the best of Cape Town's dining and nightlife.
