About this property
Discreetly positioned off Jan Hofmeyr Road in Westville, Durban, this well-maintained sectional-title home offers exceptional versatility with no levies payable. The main residence presents three spacious bedrooms, including a master ensuite, a family bathroom, and a separate guest toilet. The generous lounge opens directly onto a covered balcony — fitted with a retractable striped awning — where wicker and wooden furniture frame sweeping, uninterrupted views over the Palmiet River valley and indigenous bush canopy, accompanied by abundant birdlife. A second lounge area flows through sliding doors onto the same balcony, ensuring the valley panorama is enjoyed from multiple reception rooms.
The kitchen and scullery are finished with fitted cupboards and granite worktops. Additional practicalities include staff accommodation and ample open parking alongside a double automated garage with timber-panelled doors, visible from the street frontage behind a neat wrought-iron security fence and electric perimeter fence.
Downstairs, a fully self-contained cottage comprises an open-plan kitchen and lounge, a separate bedroom, and an ensuite shower room. Currently tenanted at R5,500 per month, the cottage provides immediate rental income — attractive to investors and owner-occupiers alike.
The property has been lovingly maintained for 36 years and sits on a 3 908 m² stand. The Pavilion Shopping Centre is within roughly 450 m straight-line, offering convenient access to retail, dining, and services. Westville Boys High School, freeway on-ramps, and a mosque are all within easy reach, cementing this home's appeal as a rare, income-generating family residence in one of Durban's most sought-after suburbs.
