This charming and characterful 4-bedroom family home in the well-located suburb of Umbilo, Durban, blends period heritage features with practical everyday living. The double-volume tiled roof, exposed-brick verandah pillars, ornate stained-glass front door, and original hardwood floors speak to the home's classic South African architecture, while thoughtful modern additions ensure comfort and security.

The home offers four generous bedrooms, all fitted with built-in cupboards and cosy carpeted flooring. The main bedroom is en-suite with shower, basin, and toilet; a second family bathroom serves the remaining rooms. Two spacious lounges provide ample space for relaxation and entertaining. The well-appointed kitchen includes plenty of built-in cupboards and is plumbed for a washing machine.

A separate outside room with its own shower adds versatility — ideal for staff accommodation, a home office, or a teenager's retreat. The property also benefits from a lock-up garage plus covered parking for up to three additional vehicles.

Security is well-addressed with a fully fenced perimeter, automated gates, and an electric fence. A JoJo water-storage tank provides peace of mind during municipal supply interruptions. With a straightforward conversion possible, the home could easily accommodate a fifth bedroom.

The garden is neatly maintained with established trees and a lawn, set within a fenced yard with a paved driveway. Queensmead Mall and SUPERSPAR are within roughly 70 m, offering exceptional daily convenience, while Port Natal School and Durban Primary School are within 500 m — making this an outstanding choice for families.
