About this property
Set in the peaceful suburb of Castlehill, Durban, this expansive double-storey home spanning 313 m² of internal floor area offers a rare combination of space, versatility, and investment potential. Ideal for large families or savvy investors, the property's multi-functional layout supports comfortable owner-occupation alongside meaningful rental income.
The main house features three generously sized bedrooms with built-in cupboards, two bathrooms (including an en-suite), an open-plan lounge and dining area flowing to a fully fitted kitchen with contemporary sage-green cabinetry, white subway-tile splashbacks, gas hob, dishwasher, and a stainless-steel double sink. A private balcony off the main section provides a quiet outdoor retreat.
Additional accommodation comprises four further bedrooms fitted with prepaid electricity meters — perfectly suited for long-term tenants or student accommodation — plus two additional bathrooms, bringing the total to seven bedrooms and four bathrooms. Parking is well catered for with a double garage and space for three further vehicles, supplemented by a tool shed for storage.
Two rooms are air-conditioned for year-round comfort, and the manageable garden keeps maintenance effort low. The location is exceptionally well served for families: Parkvale Primary School is roughly 435 m away, New West Secondary School approximately 514 m away, and Newland's West Midway Mall is within 675 m — all accessible without a lengthy commute.
