Cook Street, Observatory is a quiet linking street between Rochester Road and Polo Road. The houses in the street are semi detached smaller cottages and most have on street parking. The frontage of the cottage is quaintly, directly on to the pavement from where one enters a front stoep which is presently enclosed by security gating and burglar guarding. Originally built as a workman's cottage, the direct entry from the street gives rather a European feel to many of the Observatory cottages. Step directly into the lounge combined dining area. The floors are in good condition and are of pine whilst the only feature of the lounge is a fireplace which is presently not in working order. Windows throughout the home are of metal. Two very spacious bedrooms lead directly from the lounge. Both have wooden floors and metal windows but neither has built-in cupboards. Behind the lounge is a kitchen which would need complete renovation because sanitary ware and cupboards are no longer in good condition. Leading from the kitchen is a bathroom with bath and toilet. Tiles are dated but neat and this room would need to be modernised. Exiting the kitchen from the back door is a small courtyard where there is another toilet. Most of the yard is on concrete and has not been developed into an outdoor living space.
Privacy is the key word to this lovely modernised Woodstock home. Salisbury street is one of the more sought after addresses in the suburb and this gem is on the upper side of the street which does guarantee exceptional views. After climbing stairs from street level one arrives on an entertainer's deck. The views are astounding and the deck area is private from the street by dint of being above street level. Rather like sitting in an eagle's eyrie. The large reception areas follow from the deck through French doors that allow light and views into the living space. The reception areas are open planned and incorporate the lounge, dining and kitchen all of which are well presented and warmly inviting with an authentic Victorian fireplace and warm wooden floors. A doorway leads from the lounge to a large study cum family room. A place for family to gravitate and watch television or work on the computer. This room is light and airy with a rear door that leads to a drying courtyard which runs the length of the rest of the house. A passage, continuation of the study, leads on to the sleeping quarters. The first bedroom encountered, is a single sized bedroom with built-in cupboards and is presently pretty and pink as a little girl's bedroom. The bathroom cum laundry follows after this first bedroom. Well appointed and with modern sanitary ware it cleverly makes use of space to allow for a laundry. The main bedroom follows the family bathroom. This room is double volume, comfortable, light and bright with extensive built-in-cupboards. One of the cupboards has an innovative idea in that it hides a wash hand basin. Great for busy mornings when dad requires his own space to shave! Beneath the entertainer's deck and above the open plan reception area the property has storage. Hidden from view and yet conveniently available-one can never have enough storage! The present owners have taken care with the renovation. All the sash windows have been replaced rather than upgraded and the 2 year old hot water cylinder is solar heated with electrical back up. Most of the plumbing has been renewed during the renovation. It is a privilege to be the sole mandated agent for this property. We are waiting to show it to you.
There are not too many vacant stands left in the upper Fernwood area, where a series of exciting new homes have been built over the last seven years. This particular stand is bordered on both sides by newish homes, and although elevated above the street, it offers views as well. The topography lends itself to a double garage being built at street level, with access stairs then leading up to the main house at the next split level. The rectangular stand runs roughly in a north-south direction, with the southern view towards Kirstenbosch enjoying unhindered views of woodland across the road which will not be sold off as residential land. The new home design should capitalise on this aspect, together with the northern end for year-round light and sunshine, at the same time enjoying views across to the east. A good buy for those keen to build their own home in this sought after area!
