9 Berg Street, Old Village: A Masterpiece of Coastal Sophistication

Nestled within the established and prestigious Old Village of Gordon’s Bay, this exceptional residence offers a rare convergence of international design and coastal serenity. A signature creation by Gwen Swan Interiors, the home is a seamless blend of Japandi and Industrial design philosophies, meticulously furnished in a Mid-Century Modern style that brings a sought-after European contemporary flair to the South African market.
Every detail reflects a commitment to quality, beginning with the exterior’s contemporary Dove Grey and charcoal palette, which flows into an interior defined by lilac, lavender, beige, black, and white tones. The craftsmanship is evident throughout, from the walls finished in natural stone, granite, ceramics, and rich Mahogany, to the custom-designed Meranti closets and door frames. The entrance is nothing short of majestic: a 350kg Brazilian Zebrano wood door set on custom pivots, providing a grand, effortless welcome.
The kitchen is a culinary studio designed for both light and space, featuring South African granite countertops with a textured leather finish and black birch sealed wood cabinetry. The dining room is anchored by an exclusive art piece: a custom chandelier designed by Frans Alexander, composed of Jacaranda leaves and crystals. To ensure the perfect ambiance, almost all lighting is dimmable, and the home features the latest matte black Livingstone fixtures paired with Kohler black chrome mixers in both the kitchen and bathrooms.
Practicality meets luxury throughout the 160m² floor plan. The 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom layout includes a master en-suite and a private guest en-suite. The Master Suite is particularly versatile, featuring an adjoining reading room thoughtfully designed to serve as a convenient nursery. Climate control is exceptionally managed by a high-performance central fireplace and an AC unit capable of heating the entire home during colder months.
Situated just 300 meters from the beach and the Gordon’s Bay Promenade, the property is in immediate proximity to the area's finest cafes, restaurants, and the yacht club. Security is state-of-the-art, featuring a gated driveway with a new motor, sensors, and alarm system, while the exterior provides two dedicated storage areas. As an investment, this property offers significant potential for both high-end corporate rentals and seasonal Airbnb hosting. A turn-key experience is available, with the option to purchase the residence fully furnished for an additional R850 000.
