About this property

This well-maintained 1.5-bedroom apartment in sought-after Essenwood, Durban, offers stylish and comfortable living in a neat, secure environment. Spanning 63 m² of internal floor area, the unit features a spacious main bedroom, an additional half bedroom, one bathroom, and a bright open-plan lounge that flows effortlessly through the home.

The lounge is a standout — furnished with a green velvet sofa and deep-blue occasional chairs arranged around a glass-topped coffee table, with a stone-effect feature wall housing a wall-mounted flat-screen TV and white media unit. A security gate on the large window and an air-conditioning unit ensure year-round comfort.

The fitted kitchen is well equipped with white upper cabinetry, granite-effect countertops, a built-in oven, gas/electric hob, extractor hood, double sink, and space for a freestanding fridge. Blue accent walls and white subway-tile splashbacks give the space a fresh, modern feel.

A tiled entrance passage with wall sconce lighting connects the front door to the living area, providing a welcoming arrival experience. Security burglar bars on windows throughout add peace of mind.

The property includes one secure parking bay with a carport. Ideally suited to first-time buyers, young professionals, or savvy investors, this apartment sits literally metres from Durban Girls' College and is within easy reach of Checkers Cowey Park (≈600 m), Ridge Road Park (≈610 m), and The Fitness Shack gym (≈430 m).
