About this property
Discover comfortable living in this characterful 1.5-bedroom apartment nestled in the desirable Essenwood suburb of Durban. Spanning a practical 63 m², the open-plan lounge and dining area is anchored by warm wooden parquet flooring that glows in the abundant natural light pouring through large picture windows and sliding doors. The space is generously proportioned, accommodating a full lounge suite, dining table for four, and a dedicated TV/media wall — all styled with an eclectic, bohemian sensibility that underscores the apartment's personality.
The compact kitchen features a built-in oven, hob, and extractor fan, with ample overhead cabinetry for storage. The apartment offers a main bedroom and a versatile half-bedroom ideal as a home study, nursery, or guest room, served by a single well-appointed bathroom. A standout feature is the balcony — accessed via sliding doors from the dining room — framed by leafy green treetops that lend the space a tranquil, garden-like feel perfect for morning coffee or sundowners.
Security is well catered for with electric fencing, an access gate, and security gates on the sliding doors. One dedicated parking bay is included. The well-maintained complex enjoys lush tropical landscaping and a paved courtyard.
Locationally, the apartment is a short stroll from Durban Girls' College (approx. 66 m), Maris Stella School for Girls (approx. 274 m), and Checkers Foods Cowey Park (approx. 600 m), with Ridge Road Park and Riley Park also within easy reach — an ideal base for families, young professionals, or investors.
