Oranjezicht, Western Cape, South Africa

In this new build in every space a feeling of calm and tranquility predominates, thanks to the disciplined use of clean, pared-down lines and a limited colour palette. The inspirational use of glass means that the relationship between indoors and outside space is charged with ambiguity.

Accommodation includes: Imported Italian, open-plan kitchen, scullery and diverse living spaces; a fantastical double-volume dining area, a mid-century modern-style lounge with a cosy winter fireplace, and a relaxing contemporary family lounge. All flow onto the spacious wrap-around granite terrace, with a tranquil atrium garden and outdoor shower. Central to 2 of the outdoor terraces are impressive circular roof openings, beaming sunshine into the home throughout the day.

Up the floating staircase, there are 4 double bedrooms, all en-suite - one of which is self-contained - all have city, mountain or harbour views. There's an additional pyjama lounge upstairs with an outdoor terrace where you can enjoy balmy evenings and the sun setting over Lion's Head.

Sidmouth House being north-facing enjoys plenty of natural light. Positioned perfectly on a generous corner plot, it is set in a sweeping indigenous garden, with a sculptural pool that's solar heated. There is back-up power, housing with 2 water storage tanks and the latest home security and cameras. The home is double glazed throughout and has a heat exchange affording further energy efficiencies. A free-standing studio offers the possibilities as a home office, gym or staff accommodation. Everything is just so well thought out, secure and effortlessly in place.

Excellent private schools, a beautiful secure park and coffee shops are right on the doorstep, and this completes the offering. Access to the M3 is 5 minutes away for those weekend country escapes.

Oranjezicht at a glance
The stylish suburb of Oranjezicht can be found approximately 2.5 km from the City Centre, seated against the mountain. Although homes seem to be lower down on the slopes - once emerged in its neighbourhoods one realises how high-up Oranjezicht really is. Named after the orange glow it gets around sunset and sunrise - this area is immersed in a rich history, vibrant culture and panoramic views of the city below.

Running adjacent to Vredehoek, only separated by Buitekant Street - the property landscape of Oranjezicht is made up of exclusive family homes and lavish apartments which play into the overall feel of this artsy residential destination. Popular amongst first time buyers, professionals and investors, sectional title apartments rarely stay on the market for long periods of time.

Adding to its convenience is the abundance of shopping opportunities that are located in and around the suburb, such as the Gardens Centre which is within walking distance. On top of this, Oranjezicht is a short distance away from Long Street's myriad of bohemian stores, bistros and nightlife.
