About this property

Wake up to breathtaking sunrise views stretching all the way to the ocean and unwind with sweeping panoramic night vistas — all from your own front porch in the sought-after Reservoir Hills suburb of Durban. This characterful, airy family home is nestled in lush greenery on an elevated stand, offering a refreshing hilltop lifestyle.

The main residence offers three generous bedrooms and a bathroom, complemented by a spacious solid-oak kitchen complete with a centre island, ample cabinetry, and a stainless-steel fridge recess. The comfortable lounge features warm tones, ceiling detail, and a relaxed, homely feel. A large flat rooftop terrace — enclosed by red-brick parapet walls and classic white balustrade — provides an expansive braai deck and play area with commanding views over the surrounding neighbourhood and beyond.

Adding exceptional investment appeal, the property includes two separate 2-bedroom flatlets, ideal for generating rental income to accelerate bond repayment. Further practical features include a double garage, storeroom, and an outside staff toilet.

Conveniently situated within approximately 300 m of Reservoir Hills Secondary School and roughly 430 m from both Durban Primary School and Alpha Kidz Montessori Preschool, making school runs effortless. A bus stop on Dunkel Road is only about 170 m away, with direct routes to the city centre and UKZN. Day-to-day shopping, dining, and banking are all within easy reach, with a pharmacy roughly 250 m away and supermarkets under 800 m from the front door.

Whether you are seeking the ideal family sanctuary or a smart multi-income investment, this elevated Reservoir Hills gem offers the very best of both worlds.
