Glen Beach Apartment 1

Enquire now  |  Add this villa to my enquiry

Situated directly across from the beach, with the Twelve Apostles mountain range as a majestic backdrop, this multi level apartment has one of the most prestigious locations in the whole of Cape Town. Glen Beach Apartment 1 is opposite the small sandy cove of Glen Beach and is within walking distance of both Camps Bay and Clifton Beach.

Glen Beach Apartment 1 is situated off ground level providing lovely views of the Ocean, and it has a small grassy outdoor area. It is built over two levels and boasts stylish, minimalist decor: white linen combined with polished dark wood, tastefully decorated with African touches.

During the day, with the doors onto the terrace open, the sounds of reveling beach-goers, car music and the breaking of the waves on the beach can be heard; in the evening, when everyone has migrated from the beach to the restaurants and night clubs of Camps Bay, one can relax on a deck-chair and enjoy the view of the palm trees silhouetted against the sinking sun, whilst soaking up the tangy scent of the ocean.

Exceptional Features

Breathtaking sea and mountain views; superb contemporary design with an emphasis on light, space and natural materials.

Bedrooms (4)

Bedroom 1

Situated on the lower level of the Glen Beach Apartment 1, the master bedroom of this villa is extremely spacious, as is its open-plan en-suite bathroom. With travertine floor tiles, a king-size bed with wooden headboard, a wicker chaise longue, a flat-screen TV and ample wardrobe space, this room provides everything one could wish for. One side of the room has sliding glass doors which open onto a sunny stone-tiled patio, while the other end leads into a beautiful, open-plan bathroom. The colour scheme of this room is dominated by white interspersed with splashes of ruby and violet; it is filled during the day with wonderful natural light and it has fantastic sea views.

Bedroom 2

With twin single beds scattered with crimson cushions, sliding doors opening onto a grassy terrace, and lovely mountain views, this room is small but exceedingly pleasant. Situated on the upper level, it receives gentle morning sunshine and has an en-suite bathroom. Like bedrooms 3 and 4, which are both found on the upper level of the apartment, this room has pale grey timber flooring.

Bedroom 3

Exceptionally light and airy, this bedroom is also situated on the upper level of the apartment and, like the second bedroom, it opens onto the grass-covered terrace with wonderful mountain views. It has a double bed, a large wardrobe and a flat-screen TV.

Bedroom 4

This bedroom has twin single beds, a large wardrobe and a flat screen TV. Like the other two bedrooms on the upper level, it opens onto the lawn terrace and has a lovely view of the mountain. Heavy teak sliding doors separate this bedroom from the upstairs sitting lounge.

Bathrooms (3)

Bathroom 1

The master bathroom is open-plan and exceptionally spacious. It has a double vanity, an oval bath and a large shower, with a separate toilet and bidet. The walls are tiled with porcelain, whilst the floor is covered by the same travertine tiles of the bedroom, creating a sense of continuity. The bath and counter tops are decorated with turquoise glass mosaics.

Bathroom 2

Like the master bathroom, this en-suite bathroom has travertine floor tiles, porcelain wall tiles and is tastefully decorated with turquoise mosaics. It has a toilet, a basin, an oval bath and a shower.

Bathroom 3

This roomy bathroom is shared by bedrooms 3 and 4 and contains a double vanity, a toilet and a large shower. Like the other bathrooms, it is decorated with glass mosaics and has a travertine-tiled floor.

Other Rooms

The flowing open-plan living area on the upper level - consisting of the dining area, lounge and kitchen - has dark timber floorboards and opens onto the decked verandah, with fantastic sea views. During the morning and evening it is infused with golden sunlight, but there are tall louvered timber shutters for afternoon sun control. The lounge is furnished with a soft, suede L-shaped couch, a dark timber coffee table and a suede ottoman. There is also a fireplace and a flat-screen television. The dining area, which is situated between the lounge and the kitchen, contains an 8-seater dining table, with space for an additional 4 seats if you are planning on entertaining.

Leading off from bedroom 4 on the upper level is a sitting area with an ottoman, a leather couch, 2 armchairs and a solid timber table. There is a radio, but no television, making this a good place to escape from the sun and curl up with a book. On the lower level there is a second lounge area, with a soft, brown leather sofa, a tasteful animal-hide ottoman, an armchair, a superior sound system and a large plasma television complete with satellite connection and a DVD player. Leading off from the lounge is a work-station with a long timber desk, two office chairs and plug points for connection of electronic equipment.

Outside

On the lower level of Glen Beach Apartment 1, the master bedroom opens through glass sliding doors onto a sunny, stone-tiled patio with a deep blue pool, 2 sun loungers, a canvas parasol, and tall wooden shutters which can be adjusted to control the amount of light entering the bedroom.
