About this property

The Sandown Secret: Why Buying "Brand New" Might Cost You a Fortune (And Why This Move-In-Ready Gem is the Smarter Choice) Step into a home where the smart money has already been spent for you. Nestled in a quiet, tranquil street just a short stroll from a vibrant kids' play park, Parklands College, and Kensio House, this immaculate 184 sqm double-story residence sits on a perfectly manicured 250 sqm erf. It isn’t just a house; it’s a masterclass in modern, family-first design. From the moment you walk through the door, you are flooded with brilliant, natural light. The downstairs living space feels endless, defined by elegant tiling that stretches seamlessly through an open-plan lounge and dining area. In the winter, the crackle of the premium combustion fireplace warms the entire floor. In the summer, the living space opens out to a completely secure, wrap-around garden—a pet-friendly oasis kept lush by an automated irrigation system. Look at your perimeter: towering high walls already flanked by neighbors' electric fencing. That is thousands of rands in security infrastructure handed to you for free, offering total peace of mind for your kids and pets. The Heart of the Home The kitchen is a chef’s dream and the ultimate family gathering point. Wrapped in sleek, premium Caesar stone countertops, it features a freestanding stainless steel Defy gas stove and oven—the ultimate antidote to load shedding anxieties. There is dedicated space for a double-door fridge (complete with a fitted water point) and a built-in water filtration system for pure, clean hydration. Tucked away out of sight is a separate scullery with ample built-in cupboards and space for two large appliances, keeping your entertainment zone pristine. A guest toilet downstairs ensures complete convenience for friends and family. Your Upstairs Retreat Moving upstairs, the home transitions into a private sanctuary. Two incredibly spacious family bedrooms feature floor-to-ceiling built-in cupboards, with the second bedroom boasting its own air conditioning unit. They share a beautifully modern family bathroom, meticulously tiled to the ceiling, featuring both a deep soaking bath and a generous walk-in shower. The main master suite is a sun-drenched haven. It features luxury air conditioning, expansive built-in wardrobes, and an elegant en-suite bathroom boasting contemporary finishes and trendy twin basins. And the best part? High-quality blinds are already fitted throughout the entire house—another major expense checked off your list. Why Sandown 1? Sandown has officially transitioned from Cape Town’s "upcoming" neighborhood to its most vibrant, forward-thinking residential hub. Driven by a dynamic demographic of young professionals, growing families, and tech-savvy entrepreneurs, the culture here is progressive, active, and community-minded. It is an area where neighbors know each other, kids ride bikes to the park, and modern convenience is a given. Positioned perfectly for the modern commuter, you are minutes away from major retail hubs (Table Bay Mall and Emporium), top-tier private schools, and frictionless routes to the N7, Durbanville wine valleys, and the Cape Town CBD. With incredibly low overheads (Rates: R1,495 / Levies: R300) and pre-paid electricity to keep you in total control of your budget, this home is priced exceptionally well for the area. Yes, as a pre-owned home, you will pay transfer and bond costs—but when you calculate the premium finishes, security, blinds, air cons, and the landscaping already included, you are walking into instant equity.
