About this property

Well-presented 1.5-bedroom apartment on the 3rd floor of a residential block on J.B. Marks Road in the sought-after suburb of Upper Glenwood, Durban. The 69 m² layout offers a practical and versatile floor plan suited to owner-occupiers and investors alike.

The kitchen is well appointed with granite-look countertops, a gas hob, under-counter electric oven, extractor fan, ample white melamine cabinetry including a full-height pantry cupboard, mosaic tile splashback, and space for a double-door fridge with water dispenser. The living room features warm parquet flooring and comfortably accommodates a full lounge suite. The main bedroom is fitted with floor-to-ceiling built-in wardrobes incorporating a vanity mirror unit, and is finished with classic parquet flooring. The half bedroom serves ideally as a home office or study. A bathroom with shower completes the unit.

From the upper floor, the apartment enjoys an elevated outlook across the Glenwood roofscape towards the Durban CBD skyline and a glimpse of the ocean horizon on clear days. The building offers automated gate access, and the sale includes a lock-up garage.

Kingsley Gardens and several neighbourhood parks are within a 300 m radius, and The Glenwood Bakery is approximately 145 m away. Berea Centre shopping mall is roughly 527 m straight-line distance, and the area is well served by public transport. St Augustine's Hospital and a range of schools are in the broader neighbourhood.
