Kildare Place consists of a secure and exclusive niche estate of three luxury urban homes in the leafy suburb of Newlands, Cape Town.

This prestigious new exclusive development consists of three-storey urban 21st-century lifestyle homes nestled in a desirable part of Newlands, yet close to an extraordinary spread of facilities, many within easy walking distance.

These freehold title homes offer a stylish and contemporary take on the urban townhouse, enriched, however with the benefits of outdoor space, sunlight and views.
This easy lifestyle character is exemplified by a series of outdoor spaces flowing from the interiors. On the ground floor, north-facing and Zen-inspired courtyard gardens flow out from the expansive open plan living area. On the first floor, a family room flows onto a verdant terrace, while the second floor has a generous private terrace. The courtyards, gardens and terraces are North-facing and drenched in sunlight. The upper bevel terraces take in the magnificent vistas of Table Mountain.

Kildare Place is equipped with glass-enclosed wood-burning fireplaces to create comfort and ambience in the Cape Town winters.

• Paradox alarm with smartphone connectivity, indoor and outdoor sensors and 2 LCD keypads.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

These homes are designed to introduce fresh and airy contemporary design flair while seeking to achieve real estate assets with classic and enduring quality.
A sequence of spaces and transitions take the visitor from the urban scale courtyard mews, through to the interior spaces and out onto outdoor spaces on three different levels.
The interior design solutions offer a carefully coordinated palette of materials, finishes and accessories. The living areas and staircases with limed Oak floors and treads are complemented by light walls and ceilings, and further enhanced by the introduction of focal wall claddings and finishes.
The open-plan living spaces transition from the generous living rooms to sophisticated kitchens, both with wide sliding door access onto the lifestyle courtyards that allow for the introduction of plunge pools and landscaped Zen-inspired landscaping.

SURROUNDS

Kildare Place also offers unparalleled access to:

• The retail and fashion hub around the prestigious Cavendish Square Shopping Centre.
• The Newlands Village node of the Kildare Road and Mains Street Circle as well as the Newlands Quarter precinct with the rich mix of restaurants, bars, niche fashion and retail stores, cafe’s, patisseries, sushi- and coffee bars
• The Virgin Active Gym, the Vineyard Hotel and Spa, as well as to the Newlands Rugby and Cricket Stadium.

Slightly further afield from these attractive and sociable destinations, there is easy access to Newlands Forest and the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens with their legendary Sunday evening concerts.
The Villas also lie at the epicentre of 12 of the best southern suburb schools, as well as the University of Cape Town and the Baxter Theatre. A fifteen-minute Uber ride takes one to other choice destinations, such as the Waterfront, the Cape Town CBD, Long- and Kloof Streets entertainment and food destinations, First Thursdays, the Old Biscuit Mill, and the Westlake- and Steenberg golf courses.
