About this property
A rare find in the heart of Westville — this beautifully refurbished 4-bedroom home combines modern comfort, generous living space, and exceptional investment potential. Set in a quiet cul-de-sac within the secure Cowies Hill Virtual Estate, the property forms part of a small two-unit sectional title complex (Knoetzie) and offers a compelling blend of lifestyle and income appeal.
The home spans approximately 260 m² of internal floor area and is presented in move-in-ready condition following a recent renovation. The expansive lounge features a Jetmaster gas fireplace and elegant parquet flooring, while a separate dining room and enclosed courtyard provide easy day-to-day family living. The modern fitted kitchen is equipped with double ovens, an extractor fan, ample cupboard space, and plumbing for appliances. A generous enclosed verandah with sliding doors opens onto a covered braai and alfresco entertainment area — visible in the photos as a large white-latticed pergola patio — overlooking a level, well-established garden lush with mature trees, manicured lawn, rose bushes, banana palms, and dense hedge screening for privacy.
The main bedroom is a spacious retreat with air-conditioning, a modern en-suite bathroom, abundant cupboard space, and a private storeroom. Three further bedrooms are served by two additional bathrooms — one with a full family bath and one with a shower. Four garages are listed, reflecting generous covered parking and/or outbuilding accommodation.
Each unit in the complex holds an ownership share in an outbuilding currently generating R8,100 per month rental income, and a share in undeveloped land zoned and suitable for two additional future homes — exceptional development potential in a sought-after suburb. The property is fully fenced with a gated entrance and alarm system. Prepaid water and electricity are in place.
The Pavilion Shopping Centre is less than 500 m away (straight-line), with a wide variety of restaurants and retailers on your doorstep. Westville Junior, Senior Primary, and Girls' High School are within walking distance, while Boys' High is within 2 km. UKZN's campuses and the Durban beachfront are approximately 15 km away.
