Does Muizenberg qualify as the ‘Deep South’?
I think that depends on who you ask (I say no but others disagree), but it is far enough away from things that your friends in town understand when you can’t make a midweek dinner, for example.
The curfew excuse is gone now so you need a trick or two up your sleeve.
What is almost certain is that you’re going to get better bang for your buck in Muizies than you do in certain areas of the CBD and the surrounding suburbs.
For example, this five-bedroom “1930’s art deco masterpiece” is currently listed on Property24 for R7,9 million:
Be transported back in time to the grand opulence of the 1930s and live like a royal in this tastefully decorated Art Deco home with all of the original detail, lovingly preserved.
Every aspect of the house has been carefully thought out by the architect and its original owners. The house exudes style, from the oak parquet flooring to the Italian finishes on the walls…
The home keeps one enthralled with unique details such as the two built-in mirrored cupboards as well as a butler system, which is used for the transfer and warm keeping of food from the kitchen to the diners. There is a wine cupboard with shelving expertly tipped to conserve the wine.
You had me at “butler system” and “wine cupboard”.
Rather than rifling through loads of pictures, let’s take a leisurely video tour:
I’ve measured it on Google Maps and you’re about a 1,1-kilometre walk from the Striped Horse which is never a bad thing.
The property also has a self-contained flat, with its own entrance and terrace garden, as well as a fireplace inside. Cut me a deal on that rental. I showed you the property, after all.
