About this property

Beautifully presented 127 m² apartment in the iconic Kensington complex — a landmark high-rise in the sought-after Morningside neighbourhood of Durban. This spacious 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home offers breathtaking, unobstructed panoramic sea views stretching across the Indian Ocean, clearly visible from upper floors of this well-established building.

The open-plan lounge and dining area flow onto an undercover balcony — perfect for soaking up the coastal outlook year-round. The modern, fully fitted kitchen is complemented by extra built-in storage cupboards in the living area. The main bedroom benefits from its own en-suite bathroom, with two further bedrooms sharing a second bathroom and a separate guest toilet serving the living areas. Tiled throughout, with aluminium windows and air-conditioning for comfort.

Residents enjoy access to a generous communal landscaped garden with a large swimming pool, braai facilities, a tennis court, and picnic seating — all set within a lush, tree-lined grounds. The complex features lifts and a backup generator for added peace of mind.

Security is comprehensive: 24-hour manned security, access-controlled entry via an automated gate, CCTV surveillance, electric fencing, and a perimeter wall. Two secure parking bays are included — one undercover and one open bay.

Conveniently situated within metres of an Engen Mitchell Park Convenience Centre and Woolworths Foodstop, approximately 360 m from the beloved Mitchell Park and its zoo, and around 430 m from Morningside Primary School — making this an excellent choice for families and investors alike.
