About this property
Situated in the iconic San Francisco building in South Beach, Durban, this well-proportioned 50 m² studio apartment offers an appealing blend of coastal lifestyle and city convenience. The open-plan living area features warm parquet flooring, a ceiling fan, and a wide picture window that floods the space with natural light. A separate lounge/sleeping configuration is easily accommodated in the generous footprint, with a sectional sofa and double bed comfortably coexisting. The standout feature is the high-floor sea-view window, which frames sweeping vistas of the Indian Ocean, the beach promenade, and the Durban skyline — a truly memorable outlook for sunrise and sunset alike. The functional kitchen is fitted with ample cream built-in cupboards, white tiled splashback, patterned vinyl flooring, and a prepaid electricity meter; plumbing for a washing machine is in place. The bathroom comprises a toilet, basin, and bath. The building is secure with sectional title ownership. Oriental City Shopping Mall is a short stroll away (approximately 63 m), KWIKSPAR Saint Georges Beach is within 190 m, and a variety of restaurants, including Durbans Flavour roughly 49 m away, cater to every taste. The beach itself is moments from your door.
