A Legacy of Understated Luxury in Rondebosch

SOLE & EXCLUSIVE MANDATE
Positioned gracefully in the leafy environs of Rondebosch, Nooitgedacht stands as a testament to thoughtful, timeless preservation and contemporary living.
Originally constructed in 1927 by renowned South African artist Tinus de Jongh, the sprawling property spans two extensive plots, totaling 3,294 square metres, and making it one of the most expansive and serene residential properties in the area.

The epitome of family-centric living, the home’s spacious, light-drenched interiors blend modern enhancements with historic charm, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere designed to cater to both lively family gatherings and more intimate personal get-togethers.

Its prestigious location not only offers unmatched tranquility and privacy, but an almost seamless connection to the Rondebosch Boys’ High School grounds, enhancing both convenience and security.

Significant renovations have modernised the property while maintaining its architectural integrity. The north-facing living areas have been expertly reconfigured to maximise sunlight and garden views, enhancing the home's overall appeal and comfort.

Further enhancements include a complete overhaul of electrical and plumbing systems, integration of underfloor heating and heated towel rails in the bathrooms, and the installation of a borehole – along with an extensive irrigation system.

A sophisticated water filtration system and energy-efficient solutions like a heat pump for hot water and a backup power system, ensuring the home is both luxurious and environmentally conscious.

The residence boasts expansive living areas, including the heart of the home - a gourmet kitchen equipped with a 5-burner gas hob, large electric stove, and a well-lit 6-square-metre island - perfect for family meals and culinary exploration.

A specialised wine storage area (ideal for the sommelier of the home to store and showcase fine vintages) along with a bar area, fridge and service counter - is conveniently located adjacent to the open-plan dining area– and making entertaining a delight.

Upstairs, the home features five spacious, high-ceilinged bedrooms, several of which open onto private patios with breathtaking views.

Two bedrooms boast en-suite facilities complete with luxurious baths and double showers, providing personal havens within this grand family home.

The downstairs features distinct entertainment areas that beautifully accommodate multi-generational living and enjoyment.

Outdoor features include a deep swimming pool and extensive patios for dining and relaxation. The serenity of the garden settings are enhanced by numerous indigenous trees and cycads as well as a prolific avocado tree

A charming French courtyard nestled within a vibrant herb garden contains naartjie, apple, and lemon trees, a granadilla bush, a fruiting pomegranate, as well as mint and rosemary and other herbs.

These features ensure Nooitgedacht is not just a residence but a lavish retreat promising a lifestyle of unmatched quality and comfort.

Security is paramount at Nooitgedacht, with an updated alarm system complemented by electric fencing and the adjacent school’s 24-hour security services.

The property also features a triple garage and additional parking for three cars, ensuring ample space for residents and guests alike. This careful attention to security and convenience underscores the home’s commitment to providing a peaceful and protected environment for its inhabitants.

Nestled close to Keurboom Park and local sports clubs such as the Western Province Cricket Club and Kelvin Grove, Nooitgedacht also offers unparalleled access to top educational facilities including Rondebosch and Bishops Schools.
