About this property

Well-presented two-bedroom apartment set in a lushly landscaped multi-storey complex in the sought-after Essenwood neighbourhood of Durban. The 100 m² unit is thoughtfully laid out with an open-plan kitchen and lounge that flow seamlessly together, creating a bright, sociable living space. The kitchen has been recently updated with white cabinetry, a striking blue subway-tile splashback, a gas hob, and a centre island topped with a granite-look surface — a practical and stylish heart of the home. Both bedrooms are generously sized and fitted with built-in cupboards; the main bedroom benefits from a private en-suite bathroom. A second full bathroom serves the second bedroom and guests. The lounge opens directly onto a private balcony with a white balustrade railing, ideal for morning coffee while taking in leafy garden and palm-tree views. Two dedicated parking bays are included. The complex itself is impeccably maintained, surrounded by indigenous tropical planting, palms, and manicured lawns. Essenwood is a well-established residential suburb with an outstanding educational precinct on the doorstep — Durban Girls' College is approximately 66 m away and Maris Stella School for Girls is within 275 m. Checkers Foods at Cowey Park is roughly 600 m away for everyday shopping, and Ridge Road Park is within easy reach for outdoor recreation.
