cape town living - Skydeck Penthouse

The penthouse, characterised by its very modern style of architecture, seems to tower over the whole building.

The living room, the large terrace and two of the three bedrooms, have spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean and Lion's Head, which is Cape Town's most famous mountain after Table Mountain. On its slopes, Fresnaye’s luxury villas sparkle like diamonds in the sun and the large palms give a very Mediterranean feel.

The living room's large sliding doors give access to the penthouse's expansive terrace. 'Skydeck' is the perfect name for this penthouse as it is reminiscent of the upper deck of a cruise ship. Feel refreshed after a dip in the private plunge pool and then relax on the loungers or enjoy the outdoor sitting/dining areas. There is also a large communal pool with direct access from the penthouse.

The penthouse extends over three floors, which gives the feeling of being in a house. However, it has the advantage of the safety of an apartment and being up high provides expansive views over the rooftops of the neighbouring houses. The main floor consists of a spacious living/dining area with open-plan kitchen and large terrace. Stairs lead up to one of the three bedrooms with an en-suite bathroom and 270-degree panoramic views. The other two bedrooms and two bathrooms are downstairs.

Although on a quiet side street, the penthouse is very close to the Main Road and the lively centre of Sea Point - a trendy Cape Town suburb with popular cafes, restaurants, pubs, and various shopping centres. It is also just a short stroll to the sea and the beautiful promenade that stretches from Bantry Bay to Mouille Point next to the world-famous Victoria & Alfred Waterfront.

The penthouse is equipped with battery storage to be as self-sufficient as possible in the event of power cuts!
