About this property
A beautifully renovated bed-and-breakfast property set on a tree-lined street in the sought-after Essenwood suburb of Durban. The main house offers a home office, an open-plan lounge and dining area, and a modern kitchen on the ground floor, complemented by two generously sized en-suite bedrooms with built-in cupboards. The upper level hosts a TV lounge with compact kitchen serving five further well-appointed bedrooms, each with built-in cupboards and a private en-suite bathroom. Two additional self-contained guest suites each provide a TV lounge, kitchen, bedroom, and en-suite bathroom — ideal for income-generating short-stay accommodation. Guests are treated to a lush, canopied tropical garden complete with a swimming pool. Secure garaging is available for up to three vehicles, and 24-hour manned security patrols provide peace of mind. The property's white-rendered façade, checkerboard-tiled entrance steps, and characterful double front doors lend it enduring charm. Located within metres of Durban Girls' College and Maris Stella School, roughly 600 m from Checkers Foods Cowey Park, and close to Barn Owl Curbside café, this versatile property suits owner-operators, investors, or large families alike.
