Medburn Alcove

A luxuriously chic, three-bedroomed property with a distinct beach-house feel, Iris boasts breath-taking views and promises a stylish and tranquil retreat in the heart of one of Cape Town’s most exclusive suburbs.

Resting on the slopes of the Twelve Apostles in a quiet area of Camps Bay, this beautifully designed split-level house exudes modern comfort and style. On entering the property from the front gate or the double garage at street level, visitors are greeted with a dedicated guest toilet and specialised steam bath before following a flight of stairs up to the first level of the house. The first level features a spacious entertainment area with bar counter, fridge, sink, and two state-of-the-art wine coolers. Glass sliding doors fold back to connect interior and exterior spaces as the room flows effortlessly out onto a vast wooden pool deck and outdoor entertainment area with rim-flow swimming pool, sun loungers and large umbrellas. The first bedroom can also be found on this level, with a queen-size bed and en-suite bathroom, complete with shower, underfloor heating and air-conditioning.

The contemporary-cool décor continues on the second level of the house, where naturally lit and beautifully furnished living and dining spaces connect seamlessly with one another. A modern, open-plan kitchen with gleaming stainless steel counter tops, double fridge/freezer, and top-of-the-range appliances, including a built-in oven, hob and glass countertop stove, and coffee machine creates a functional working space that is perfect for entertaining. A scullery off the kitchen houses a washing machine and tumble dryer for added convenience.

The kitchen flows into a comfortable lounge and dining room where up to eight people can enjoy a sit-down dinner and a separate television room boasts a large couch, plush carpeting and a flat-screen television for more informal and relaxed evenings. Large sliding doors with modern louvre blinds can be folded back to connect the interior living spaces with a beautiful covered terrace and outdoor dining table for eight.

The top level of the property is home to the two remaining bedrooms, both of which open onto a private tiled terrace with glass railings and endless views over the Atlantic Ocean. The master bedroom enjoys a king-size bed, an open-plan en-suite bathroom with double rain shower, large oval soaking tub and double vanities. The second bedroom also has a king-size bed, a spacious en-suite bathroom with shower and underfloor heating, and both rooms enjoy plush carpeting and air-conditioning throughout.

Fully secure with an alarm and CCTV cameras, this elegant Camps Bay abode offers a double garage for two cars and off-street parking for visitors. Nestled in a quiet enclave in upper Camps Bay, a short drive will take you to the beautiful beaches of Camps Bay and Clifton, as well as Table Mountain and the city centre.
