About this property

Neatly presented three-bedroom duplex in a secure complex in Reservoir Hills, Durban, offered at R 995 000 — an attractive entry-level price point for first-time buyers, young families, or buy-to-let investors. The double-storey unit spans 112 m² and is accessed via a single roller-door garage on the ground floor, with open and visitors' parking conveniently available in the complex driveway.

Downstairs, an open-plan living and dining area is finished in neat ceramic tiles and fitted with security burglar bars on the windows, flowing into a well-appointed U-shaped kitchen. The kitchen features rich dark-mahogany cabinetry, granite-look countertops, a tiled splashback, under-counter oven with electric hob, extractor hood, and a double sink — everything a family needs from day one. A tiled staircase off the kitchen leads to the upper level, where three bedrooms and two bathrooms are arranged, with air-conditioning units visible on the exterior façade.

The complex itself presents a neat row of matching white-plastered, brown tiled-roof units set against a lush green hillside backdrop, creating a pleasant residential outlook. Security features include perimeter walling, window burglar bars and security gates.

The location is unbeatable for convenience: Dunkel Road Bus Stop is roughly 170 m away, Reservoir Hills Secondary School is approximately 315 m away, and Durban Primary School and Alpha Kidz Montessori Preschool are both under 430 m from the front door. Shannon Drive Pharmacy and an FNB ATM are within 250 m, and several eateries and supermarkets are all within easy walking distance.
