About this property

Positioned in the heart of Glenwood, Durban, this solid single-storey family home sits on a generous stand and offers exciting renovation potential for buyers with vision. The residence features three well-sized bedrooms and two bathrooms, complemented by characteristically high ceilings that flood the interior with natural light. A separate teen pad or retreat provides flexible living — ideal for extended family, a home office, or a guest suite.

Outdoors, the property truly shines: a covered patio with a pergola-style roof opens onto a brick-paved entertaining area and a swimming pool, perfect for long KwaZulu-Natal summers once refreshed. The level, walled yard on the pool side offers ample space for children and pets, while a second grassed garden to the front provides a lush green outlook. A concrete side passage connects the various areas of the stand. Multiple lock-up garages add exceptional practicality and security — a rare feature at this price point.

The home retains its original terracotta tile roof, exposed brick lower courses, and bay-style windows, giving it enduring character that modern finishes cannot replicate. Security burglar bars are fitted throughout.

The location is outstanding for families: Kingsley Gardens park is approximately 110 m away, The Glenwood Bakery is within 150 m, and Berea Centre shopping mall is roughly 530 m straight-line distance — all contributing to a walkable, village-like lifestyle. Sycamore Academy school is just 360 m away, complementing the description's note of a high school directly opposite.

Whether you are looking to invest, modernise, or simply move into a well-located family home, this property delivers solid bones and undeniable upside.
