About this property
Dormehl Phalane Glenwood presents this exceptional family residence in the heart of Upper Glenwood, Durban — a completely renovated double-storey home set on a very large erf with beautifully manicured gardens. Accessed through secure electric gates, a tarred driveway leads to substantial parking, a separate garage accommodating up to four vehicles, and an extended double lock-up garage with direct internal access to the house.
The ground floor offers tremendous versatility: a one-bedroom flatlet with attached lounge and bathroom off the large garage, a separate en-suite bachelor pad, a study/office, a substantial lounge with sliding doors opening to the expansive front lawn, and three additional bedrooms served by two bathrooms.
The upper level is where the home truly dazzles. A grand open-plan living area incorporates a large main lounge with full-height timber-framed windows and sliding doors that frame sweeping 180-degree panoramic views of the sea, greater Durban city skyline, and the harbour — as clearly visible in the images. A small balcony flows off the study/reading room into the dining room, which features beautiful parquet flooring. A sun room with an internal braai connects via sliding doors to the immaculate pool and rear garden entertainment area.
The open-plan kitchen is finished with granite throughout, a gas hob, and double eye-level ovens. A separate scullery houses all white appliances and generous larder cupboards. The impressive main en-suite bedroom captures the same breathtaking views, offering a large bathroom with double shower and corner bath.
Additional features include split air conditioning in several bedrooms and both lounges, three-phase electricity, a separate DB box wired to a generator, tiles and laminate flooring throughout, and the ability to fully separate the upper and lower levels for dual-living or rental income. Kingsley Gardens park is approximately 111 m away, The Glenwood Bakery is within 145 m, and Berea Centre shopping mall is roughly 530 m from the property. St Augustine's and Entabeni Hospitals are close by.
