Spacious Family Home with Versatile Flatlet/Office Wing in The Vines, Constantia
Located in the leafy and sought-after suburb of The Vines in Constantia, Cape Town, this spacious and well-loved home offers the perfect balance of charm, flexibility, and functionality. Whether you're a growing family, multi-generational household, or working from home, this property adapts to your lifestyle with ease.
Main Residence – Light, Flow, and Family Warmth
Step inside to an open-plan living area that immediately makes you feel at home. A double-volume dining space flows effortlessly into a large lounge, divided by a dual-sided wood-burning fireplace—perfect for winter evenings. The kitchen, with classic black-and-white checkered tiles, boasts a central island, ample cupboard space, a large oven, and a tucked-away scullery with a second wash-up area and space for a dishwasher.
The home features three generously sized bedrooms in the main wing. The primary suite includes a walk-in dressing room, full en suite bathroom with bath and shower, and a sliding door opening onto the garden under a pergola draped with a granadilla vine. The second and third bedrooms have built-in cupboards and garden views. All windows are secured with burglar bars and doors with Trellidor-style gates for peace of mind.
Flexible Living Wing – Ideal Flatlet, Studio, or Office
An incredible value-add is the expansive multi-use extension—connected to the main house yet with its own private entrance. This versatile wing includes:
• A walk-through study or reception area
• A large bedroom with an en suite bathroom
• A sprawling office, studio, or playroom with its own kitchenette and access to the driveway
This space can be seamlessly integrated into the home or closed off as a separate granny flat, home office, or private suite for guests or live-in caregivers.
Outdoor Living – Entertain and Unwind
At the front, an airy, north-facing patio with a transparent roof welcomes natural light while offering shade—perfect for lazy lunches, weekend braais, or evening cocktails overlooking the pool. The built-in pool is raised slightly for comfort, with an automatic filter and timer system.
At the back, a private garden area provides space for herbs, veggies, or children’s play. Two wendy houses—one extra-large nutec-style, one medium wooden, add practical storage or creative playroom space.
Additional Features
• Secure off-street parking behind an automatic sliding gate (fits two cars)
• Three rainwater tanks for water-saving and off-grid resilience
• Excellent security throughout (burglar bars, gates, Trellidors)
• Fibre-ready and perfect for remote work setups
