About this property

This well-presented four-bedroom home in the sought-after suburb of Reservoir Hills, Durban, offers generous family living on a 1 157 m² stand. All four bedrooms are well-sized and fitted with built-in cupboards, with the main bedroom enjoying the privacy and convenience of its own en-suite bathroom. A second full family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms and features a bath, basin, and toilet.

The heart of the home is a large open-plan lounge and dining area — ideal for entertaining family and friends. The kitchen has been thoughtfully fitted with modern wood-grain cabinetry, dark grey countertops, a gas hob, extractor fan, eye-level oven, walk-in pantry, and ample storage. A second sink and refrigerator nook complete the practical layout as seen in the photos.

A lower-level section provides a versatile bonus space perfect for use as a second lounge, home office, or entertainment room — and carries strong rental income potential as an additional unit. Air-conditioning is installed, visible from the exterior.

The property is secured by perimeter walling, security burglar bars on windows, and a security gate at the entrance. A concrete driveway provides good vehicle access across the sloping stand, which is planted with established trees offering shade and greenery.

Located within metres of Halpin Avenue Park and Reservoir Hills Secondary School (approximately 316 m), and within easy reach of Shannon Drive Pharmacy (±250 m), Durban Primary School (±424 m), and multiple local restaurants and shops — this home offers the convenience of a fully serviced neighbourhood with public transport close at hand.
