We have an exclusive mandate to introduce to you. This charming Victorian home, built in 1852, stands proudly on historic Queen Street, offering a unique blend of Victorian-Karoo style and traditional elegance. Nestled in the heart of old Calitzdorp, this property is tucked away from the bustle of the main road, yet just a short stroll from the town's amenities. Set on a generous 526m2 erf, the home is a perfect mix of comfort, character, and country charm.
With four spacious bedrooms and three en-suite bathrooms, the house offers ample accommodation for family and guests. The inviting entrance leads you onto a full-length front stoep, where you can enjoy views of the Old Anglican Church, St Mark’s Chapel. To the right of the front door is a large en-suite bedroom with a small kitchenette and sitting/TV area – ideal for a guest suite or private retreat. On the left, another generously sized bedroom with built-in cupboards, as well as a vast workroom with abundant storage space.
Step down into the cozy lounge, a perfect spot for gatherings, with a door leading to a well-appointed study and the spacious main en-suite bedroom, complete with built-in cupboards. The lounge opens up to a covered patio that overlooks the beautifully landscaped garden. The modern kitchen, equipped with everything you need, sits conveniently between the lounge and a separate dining room – ideal for both family meals and entertaining. The garden cottage has another double room and en suite bathroom, suitable for guests or a “granny flat”. Next to the enclosed laundry lines is a convenient storage room for all those extras that need packing away, as well as additional storage space in the loft of the main house.
The house maintains its historical charm with terracotta tiled floors, traditional reed ceilings, and a warm ambiance throughout. Four rooms feature ceiling fans for added comfort, and the large lounge and bedroom are both fitted with air conditioning for the warmer months.
The outdoor space is equally inviting, with an automated irrigation system ensuring the water-wise garden remains lush and easy to maintain. Several private corners in the garden, each with a small bench, offer peaceful spots to enjoy the serenity at any time of day.
For convenience, the property also includes undercover parking for two vehicles next to the back entrance. The home has a very good security and alarm system and has burglar bars and safety doors. This home is a perfect blend of historical character, modern comforts, and outdoor tranquility – a true gem in the heart of Calitzdorp.
