About this property
This well-maintained 1-bedroom apartment in Durham Square offers smart, modern living in one of Salt River's most sought-after residential developments — ideally suited to investors, students, or young professionals seeking a central Cape Town address.
Set on an elevated floor, the open-plan kitchen and living area is fully tiled in large-format cream tiles and flows seamlessly onto a private balcony commanding sweeping views over the Salt River streetscape toward Cape Town Harbour and Table Bay. Port cranes and the open ocean are clearly visible on clear days through the sliding glass door — framed by blue curtains — that opens directly from the lounge. Safety netting on the balcony railing provides additional peace of mind at height.
The kitchen is fitted with light wooden cabinetry, a granite-effect countertop island that doubles as a breakfast bar with bar-stool seating, a black electric oven, a gas hob, a tiled splashback, and a full-height white fridge-freezer. The lounge is a comfortable, light-filled space featuring crown moulding, four-spot track lighting, and ample room for a full corner sectional sofa and entertainment unit.
The bedroom includes built-in cupboards and an en-suite bathroom. One secure covered parking bay is included. Building amenities include 24-hour security with CCTV monitoring, access-controlled entry, and lifts serving all floors.
The location is exceptionally well-connected: Salt River Station is approximately 217 m away, a MyCiTi bus stop (Spencer) is within 101 m, and a wide selection of eateries — including Shawarma House (12 m) and Salt River Kitchen (25 m) — are virtually on the doorstep, alongside multiple supermarkets within 130 m. Penryn Park is a leisurely 158 m stroll away. The Cape Town CBD, Woodstock, Observatory, and De Waal Drive are all within easy reach.
