About this property
Situated in a well-maintained multi-storey block in the heart of Glenwood, one of Durban's most sought-after suburbs, this 1.5-bedroom apartment offers a practical and comfortable layout in a secure, managed complex. The building — visible from the exterior as a combination of face-brick and plastered façades with palisade fencing and a controlled entrance — carries the name 'Dorchester' and enjoys partial harbour views from its elevated position.
The apartment spans 62 m² of internal floor area and comprises a generous main bedroom, a versatile half-bedroom ideal as a home office or study, an open-plan lounge and living area, and a well-fitted kitchen. The kitchen features warm timber-toned cabinetry with upper and lower units, laminate countertops, a stainless-steel sink, and a freestanding Defy electric stove and oven. Tiled splashbacks and a security-barred window complete the practical finish.
Security is a clear priority: the complex features palisade fencing, a security gate at the entrance, and window burglar bars throughout. Parking is a rare bonus in this area, with one dedicated garage plus the option to park a second vehicle behind it.
The location is exceptionally convenient — Kingsley Gardens park is approximately 111 m away, The Glenwood Bakery is roughly 145 m from the door, and Berea Centre shopping mall is within approximately 530 m. Netcare St Augustine's Hospital is also close by, making this unit particularly attractive to medical professionals. Glenwood's leafy streets, cafés, and easy access to Durban's CBD and universities round out a compelling lock-up-and-go lifestyle proposition.
