3 Bed Townhouse in Claremont Upper

Situated in Upper Claremont, this spectacular duplex is truly a one-of-a-kind property based in the brutalist architectural masterpiece known as Damian. Built with a design focused around concrete modernism by the world-renowned architects Adele Naude Santos and A.P. de Souza Santos this apartment block is perfect for people from all walks of life and is a fitting home for anyone from young couples, retirees, families and more.

The exterior of the building is designed with sharp, contrasting modular concrete sections, off-setting the many balconies and planter boxes of the building, which not only offer shade for the duplex units but at the same time are designed to give privacy to each of them in this north-facing building. Privacy is reinforced by the offset loggia over the multi-levelled spaces, which also gives a unique contrast between the greenery and nature of the surrounds to the concrete exterior.

Entering through the front door of this home, one will be greeted by the generous, open-concept floor plan of the living and dining areas with undulating walls. Taking full advantage of the light and space with a sunken living area leading down from the initial landing, residents will immediately notice the double volume floor-to-ceiling glass windows and sliding doors which seamlessly opens up to the sizeable and private outdoor garden which has been superbly looked after and upgraded over the years. As this area is north-facing, one can be assured sun throughout most of the day. Additionally on this ground floor, one can find the semi-modernized kitchen (with Caesarstone kitchen top work surfaces and fitted inverter), a guest toilet, a study (which can be converted to a 4th bedroom) and the beautifully curved, spiral staircase which leads to the upper floor.

Coming up the spiral staircase to the upper floor, residents will notice 2 large and bright bedrooms facing over the private garden with one of these bedrooms having a private, setback balcony and the other bedroom with a well-placed planter box. In addition to these 2 sizeable bedrooms, there is a 3rd bedroom with its own private balcony facing over the south side of the building. Off the landing on this floor, one will also find several built-in cupboards with space for plumbing appliances, 2 fully modernised bathrooms and the rare feature of another front door into the home - this means that one has the unique option to enter this home from either the ground or 1st floor of the duplex (the building also has a small communal lift which residents or guests can use to bypass the stairs within the unit if they prefer and use the elevator of the building to access both floors).

Along with the modern upgrades of the unit, the block has gone through the necessary updates to keep with the times, including: CCTV cameras, access control to both the grounds of the property and into the building. For further security, this unit has also had motion alarms installed in the garden.

A major bonus is that the unit not only comes with 2 covered parking bays near the entrance of the building, but also has a store-room.

With only 3 other units in the block, one is guaranteed the utmost exclusivity, privacy and importantly space, in an architectural marvel situated in the Southern Suburbs within a short travelling distance to several amenities including but not limited to UCT, Cavendish Square Shopping Centre, Kingsbury Hospital, Claremont Gardens, some of the top schools in country such as Grove Primary, Herschel Girls Junior and High, SACS Boys Junior and High, Westerford High to name a few, and having quick access to major highways in and out of Cape Town.
