About this property

Nestled in the sought-after Dawncliffe pocket of Westville, this characterful 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom family home sits on a generous 2 134 m² stand and is defined by its spectacular elevated timber deck — raised on stilts above lush indigenous greenery — that wraps around the rear and side of the house to deliver sweeping bush-and-valley views. Sunbathers and outdoor entertainers will love the vast decked expanse, complete with built-in timber balustrade railings and space for multiple sun loungers and outdoor seating sets.

Inside, the layout is well-considered: three bedrooms all fitted with built-in cupboards, two bathrooms, a modern kitchen flowing into an open-plan lounge and dining room, and a generous second lounge that adapts easily into a games room, home office, or TV room. A security gate with diamond-lattice trellis door secures the main living area sliding door — visible from the deck — adding practical peace of mind.

Practical highlights are equally impressive. A large covered carport accommodates at least two vehicles directly off the road, and the description confirms parking for up to 10 cars — ideal for extended family or guest-intensive living. CCTV surveillance and backup power ensure year-round comfort and security. A visible rain-water tank on the side of the house adds resource resilience.

The property is surrounded by mature subtropical trees and a low-maintenance garden, and the deck's leafy outlook gives the feeling of a private treetop retreat. Yet urban convenience is just moments away: The Pavilion Shopping Centre — one of KwaZulu-Natal's premier malls, home to Checkers Hyper, Verimark, and a wide range of restaurants — is approximately 450 m from the property, and the nearby Westville Eco Trail (~1.1 km) offers a green escape for walkers and joggers.
