About this property
Situated in a well-maintained brick apartment block in the sought-after Essenwood suburb of Durban, this beautifully presented 2.5-bedroom ground floor apartment offers comfortable, stepless living across 104 m² of thoughtfully arranged floor space.
The generous lounge opens via elegant French doors into a separate dining room, creating a versatile flow between open-plan entertaining and more intimate family meals. The dining room comfortably accommodates a six-seater table. The lounge itself features warm timber flooring, air-conditioning, and ample natural light from street-facing windows with bamboo blinds.
A versatile half-bedroom off the lounge is ideal as a study, home office, or nursery. The kitchen is neat and well-appointed with ample cupboard space and full plumbing for both a washing machine and dishwasher.
The main bedroom benefits from a private en-suite bathroom, while the family bathroom features a corner bathtub and a modern finish. Both bedrooms offer generous proportions and built-in cupboards.
A garage is included in the sale, with a second parking bay available on a rental basis. The block is well-managed and enjoys lush tropical greenery within its gated perimeter.
The location is exceptional for families: Durban Girls' College is roughly 70 m away, Maris Stella School for Girls is within 275 m, and Happy Feet Pre-Primary and Daycare is approximately 425 m from the door. Checkers Foods at Cowey Park is about 600 m away for everyday convenience.
