This well-presented unit in Umbilo, Durban, offers a comfortable and stylish living environment ideal for first-time buyers or savvy investors. The open-plan lounge and dining area is a real showstopper, featuring deep teal-painted walls, a statement timber-mosaic feature wall, wide-plank laminate flooring, ceiling-mounted air conditioning, and a large security-barred window that fills the space with natural light. A rustic palisander dining table with bench seating and a large L-shaped grey corner sofa complete the look.

The fitted kitchen is finished with white cabinetry, dark stone-effect countertops, and bold black-and-red subway-tile splashbacks — practical and on-trend. The bathroom has been tastefully renovated with white subway tiles contrasted by navy blue walls, a patterned-tile bath surround, pedestal basin, and a warm Edison pendant light.

The unit comprises two bedrooms, a versatile half-bedroom suitable as a home office or study, a bathroom, kitchen, and a spacious open-plan lounge-dining room — 82 m² of internal floor area in total. A dedicated parking bay and a secure building round off the practical offering.

Location is a genuine highlight: Queensmead Mall and SUPERSPAR are virtually on the doorstep (under 70 m), with King Edward Pharmacy, Port Natal School, and Durban Primary School all within 500 m. Currently tenanted at R7 000 per month, this property offers an immediate rental yield from day one.
