Penthouse apartment for sale in Waterfront, Cape Town

For those who accept nothing less, this duplex penthouse delivers luxury on a truly grand scale, both inside and out. Crowning an intimate block, it offers a level of privacy and exclusivity that is increasingly rare.

Step outside to an expansive deck, a stage for sun-drenched afternoons and long, glittering evenings. Here, a private swimming pool rests above the panorama of the canal and the yacht-basin, a view alive with colour, movement and energy at every hour.

Inside, wood flooring flows beneath an open-plan lounge, dining room and kitchen where windows and glass all around lend a sense of space and light. Climate-controlled comfort with ducted air conditioning throughout. The sleek, contemporary kitchen is minimalist in design yet complete in function, fitted with every modern convenience, both electric and gas, and presented in immaculate condition. A guest cloakroom completes the entertaining level.

Three generous bedrooms, each one en suite and each with its own balcony, are finished to an exceptional standard. The primary suite is on the entry level, while the two further bedrooms are tucked away upstairs for added seclusion. Every bedroom has abundant storage and refined contemporary finishes where striking architectural details feel effortless. Adjoining the upstairs bedrooms is a tidy second living area: an intimate pyjama lounge or roof-top entertaining that opens to another large balcony.

Life beyond the front door is every bit as impressive. Residents enjoy a state-of-the-art communal gymnasium, five further swimming pools, robust security and a coveted central location. A storeroom and three secure parking bays are included. Pets are welcome, and short-term rentals are permitted.
