About this property

Situated in the heart of Essenwood — one of Durban's most established and sought-after suburbs — this neat 2-bedroom apartment offers a compelling blend of comfort, convenience, and community charm. The apartment is set on the second floor of a well-maintained three-storey complex featuring secure undercover parking and a handsome cream-render façade with black-framed aluminium windows and Juliet balconies.

Inside, the 52 m² floor plan is tiled throughout for easy maintenance. The kitchen is fitted with cream and dark-laminate cabinetry, black granite-look countertops, a ceramic hob with under-counter oven, extractor hood, and a single sink with a small louvred window for ventilation. The open-plan living area is generously proportioned and benefits from a feature exposed-brick accent wall that adds warmth and character, together with a large black-framed window overlooking leafy treetops. The main bedroom is spacious with a full-width glazed door opening to a railed balcony that frames lush green canopy views, while the second bedroom is compact with a large openable window and ample wall space for built-in cupboards.

The building sits within metres of Durban Girls' College and Maris Stella School for Girls (approximately 274 m away), making it an excellent choice for families or professionals who value proximity to top educational institutions. Checkers Foods Cowey Park is around 600 m away, and Ridge Road Park is roughly 610 m from the property — perfect for morning runs or weekend relaxation.

Whether you are a first-time buyer, a professional seeking a lock-up-and-go lifestyle, or an investor targeting Durban's resilient rental market, this Essenwood apartment represents a well-priced entry into a prime address.
