3 Bedroom House To Let in Oranjezicht

Hidden under a canopy of green on Marmion Road, this character-filled mid-century home in Oranjezicht offers a calm, grounded living experience with plenty of soul. Designed in the 1950s by architect Ronald Chapman as a home for his own family, it’s filled with original features that have stood the test of time—textured brickwork, timber-framed windows, exposed beams—and that unmistakable sense of ease you only find in homes that have been properly lived in. It’s available UNFURNISHED.

You enter on the upper level, where everything opens up. An expansive lounge with wooden floors and a wood-burning fireplace spills onto a leafy, elevated deck. The sunlight drifts in through full-width sliding doors, carrying the outside in. It’s an easy, natural flow—morning coffee in the warmth of the lounge, summer evenings out under the trees, all with views that don’t let you forget where you are.

The kitchen sits just off the lounge—practical and warm, with granite counters, a gas stove, and wooden cabinetry that fits the feel of the house perfectly. A glass-framed dining area catches the morning light, making it a gentle spot for slow breakfasts or midweek dinners.

The main bedroom upstairs is a quiet retreat. Big windows frame treetop views, and a bay-style built-in unit doubles as seating and storage. There’s a walk-in dressing area and a modern en-suite bathroom with a shower. A second bedroom sits just down the hall—ideal for a child, guests, or a work-from-home setup.

Downstairs, a third bedroom opens directly onto the lush back garden and pool. There's also an additional room that can adapt to whatever life requires—a home office, music space, or quiet study. A second bathroom with a bath sits on this level too, thoughtfully finished in clean, simple lines.

The garden wraps gently around the house. It is more retreat than yard, full of mature trees, quiet corners, and just enough wildness to feel like you’ve left the city behind. A round, sunken pool adds to the calm, terraced brick surrounds, a few loungers, and you’re set.

There’s a single undercover garage space, a storeroom tucked at the back, and an inverter system to keep things running during loadshedding.

Available from 1 June 2025 on a 12-month lease. R52,000 per month.

A short stroll from local schools and cafes, this is a home with warmth in its walls, stories in its spaces, and plenty of room to write your own.
