Property Description
This spacious 57 m² apartment, with a total size of 65 m² including the balcony, presents an exciting opportunity for buyers with vision looking to renovate, transform and unlock the full potential of a property in one of Cape Town’s most sought-after locations.
Tucked away on a quiet, leafy road in the heart of Green Point, this charming two-bedroom apartment offers a rare combination of generous proportions, character, a boutique setting and the opportunity to create a home that is truly your own.
Set within Park Mews, an intimate art deco block of just six apartments, the property has a peaceful, residential feel while being exceptionally well positioned for the best of Green Point and the Atlantic Seaboard. The apartment is north-facing, with the balcony, living room and main bedroom enjoying lovely afternoon sun, while the fully walled and gated perimeter and communal garden add to the sense of privacy and security.
The layout is generously proportioned by modern standards, particularly in the living area, main bedroom and bathroom. The apartment comprises two bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchen and two reception rooms, together with an open balcony and a private, secure covered parking bay – a particularly valuable feature in Green Point.
For the renovator, this is an opportunity to take an existing property and make it your own, whether the vision is a beautifully renovated city apartment, a stylish lock-up-and-go or a well-positioned investment. The property has laminate flooring, plastered walls and a concrete roof, and provides a generous foundation for a complete transformation.
For investors, the building rules permit short-term letting, making the apartment Airbnb-friendly. Combined with its location, generous size, secure parking and relatively low holding costs, this creates flexibility for an owner looking at both personal use and rental income.
Location is one of this property's biggest strengths. Main Road’s restaurants, cafés and everyday conveniences are close by, while Green Point Park, the Cape Town Stadium precinct, Somerset Square and Portswood Square are all within easy reach. The V&A Waterfront is also within walking distance, with the promenade and Mouille Point just over a kilometre away, putting the Atlantic Seaboard lifestyle right on your doorstep.
Despite this convenient position, Park Mews remains tucked away in a quieter, leafy pocket of Green Point, offering a welcome sense of calm away from the busier roads.
An apartment with space, character and plenty of potential – ready for its next owner to bring it to life.

Area Description
Green Point is one of Cape Town’s most established and sought-after residential nodes, positioned between the V&A Waterfront, the Cape Town CBD and the Atlantic Seaboard, within the City of Cape Town Metropolitan Municipality. Glenside Road is a quiet, leafy street in the residential part of the suburb, a short walk from the Green Point Urban Park and DHL Stadium and from the Main Road and Somerset Road commercial strips. The V&A Waterfront, with Victoria Wharf and its restaurants, shops and entertainment, is about a kilometre away on foot, and the Mouille Point promenade and beachfront a similar distance north. Schooling is unusually close for an inner-city location, with Reddam House Atlantic Seaboard roughly two hundred metres from the scheme and Ellerton Primary in Three Anchor Bay just over a kilometre west. Public healthcare is available at the Green Point Clinic and New Somerset Hospital, both within a kilometre, and the Virgin Active Green Point club, Somerset Square and the MyCiTi routes along Main Road serve the immediate area. The combination of walkability, proximity to the Waterfront and the Atlantic Seaboard, and a building whose rules permit short-term letting is the basis for the rental proposition the seller describes.
