About this property

This immaculate two-bedroom, one-bathroom corner apartment in the well-established Sherwood neighbourhood of Durban offers a rare blend of privacy, comfort, and elevated outlook. Spanning 100 m² of internal floor area, the unit is fully tiled throughout and finished to a high standard, with a fully fitted kitchen featuring granite countertops and generous built-in cupboards in both bedrooms. A separate toilet adds everyday convenience.

The standout feature is the expansive covered patio — a proper entertainer's space with terracotta tiles, a corrugated lean-to roof on white-painted steel posts, and open views across a lush green valley to the Durban hills beyond. The corner position ensures excellent natural light and privacy on two sides, while split air-conditioning units servicing the main living areas provide year-round comfort. Security burglar bars on windows and a Blue-Star armed-response plaque are visible from the exterior.

For daily errands, Seattle Coffee Company, FreshStop Sherwood, and KFC are all within roughly 55 m, and Checkers Westwood Mall is under 800 m away. Families will appreciate being close to multiple schooling options, including Birdwood School (±386 m) and Sherwood Primary School (±693 m).
