About this property

This generously proportioned 2.5-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom apartment is situated in a well-established Art Deco-style block in the heart of Glenwood, Durban — directly opposite St Augustine Hospital. The building presents an attractive cream-rendered façade across four storeys, with security fencing and manicured landscaping at street level.

Inside, the apartment retains classic character with original strip hardwood flooring in the dining room and adjoining lounge. The spacious dining area comfortably accommodates a six-seater table and benefits from a security gate to the shared stairwell, offering added peace of mind. A large arched opening leads through to the lounge beyond.

The kitchen is a practical U-shaped layout with white laminate cabinetry, yellow accent trim, full white-tile splashbacks, a freestanding electric stove and oven, space for a washing machine (plumbing in situ) and a dishwasher, and a double stainless-steel sink beneath a security-barred window. An additional fridge-freezer alcove provides ample cold storage.

Two full bedrooms and a study or smaller third room provide flexible accommodation for a family or professional household. Levies only — no additional rates — make this an exceptionally cost-effective ownership proposition. The building is ideally positioned within a few minutes of Kingsley Gardens (≈110 m), The Glenwood Bakery (≈145 m), and Berea Centre shopping mall (≈530 m), with schools, parks, and public transport all close at hand.

Ideal for cash buyers or those able to put down a minimum 40% deposit to qualify for finance.
