This cosy bachelor apartment in the leafy Essenwood suburb of Durban offers a smart open-plan layout across a generous 48 m², combining the sleeping, living, and kitchen areas in one light-filled space. The unit is situated on the third floor of a well-maintained complex, with no lift access, and enjoys partial sea views from its spacious tiled balcony — an ideal spot for morning coffee or an evening sea breeze.

The open-plan living area is fitted with large sliding doors that open directly onto the balcony, keeping the space airy and connected to the outdoors. A freestanding wardrobe divides the sleeping zone from the kitchen nook. The kitchen is well-equipped with white cabinetry, granite-effect worktops, white-tiled splashbacks, a gas/electric freestanding stove, a double sink, fridge space, and overhead cupboards. A wall-mounted air-conditioning unit ensures year-round comfort. The unit includes a lock-up-and-go garage for secure parking.

Residents have access to a communal braai area within the complex. Water is included in the purchase price's levy structure; electricity and refuse are billed separately by the municipality.

Essenwood is one of Durban's most sought-after urban neighbourhoods, with Durban Girls' College approximately 66 m away, Checkers Foods at Cowey Park roughly 600 m away, Ridge Road Park within easy reach, and The Fitness Shack gym around 430 m from the door — making this a superb lock-up-and-go investment or first-home opportunity.
