Situated in the well-connected suburb of Umbilo, Durban, this character-filled three-bedroom home offers generous living space and excellent value for buyers willing to invest some TLC. The property sits on a sizeable stand shaded by mature trees and features a brick-and-plaster exterior under a tiled roof, with a stone-pillared carport entrance adding classic charm.

Inside, the open-plan lounge and dining area impresses with warm wooden floors, recessed lighting, and a striking exposed-brick feature fireplace — a cosy centrepiece for family living. The fully fitted kitchen is spacious and practical, with blue-grey built-in cupboards, a large double-door fridge/freezer, gas hob, extractor hood and tiled floors.

The main bedroom is generously proportioned with a full wall of built-in white wardrobes, recessed lighting and en-suite access. Bedroom 2 is a comfortable double with tiled floors, a built-in shelf unit and desk space. Bedroom 3 is fitted with an air conditioner. The main bathroom provides a shower, bath, basin and toilet, while the en-suite offers a shower, toilet and basin.

Additional highlights include a patio, a self-contained flatlet ideal for extended family or rental income, and a double garage. The small pool requires attention to be brought back into use.

Location is a standout feature: Queensmead Mall and SUPERSPAR are within metres of the property, Allenby Gardens park is roughly 120 m away, and Port Natal School is approximately 300 m down the road — making this an exceptionally convenient address for families and investors alike.
