A much-loved Glenwood character home, cherished by the same owner for 34 years, now offers a rare opportunity in one of Durban's most sought-after residential suburbs. Spread across 745 m² of internal floor space and configured as two self-contained living units — each with its own road entrance and parking — the property is perfectly suited to extended families, investors seeking a live-in-and-let arrangement, or buyers wanting income-generating potential from day one.

The upper-level unit features three bedrooms, all opening directly onto a sweeping verandah with great views across the established neighbourhood. It also includes a full bathroom, kitchen, and an open-plan lounge and dining area. The lower-level unit offers two bedrooms, a bathroom, a study, a large lounge and dining room, a generous patio, and a beautifully appointed farm-style kitchen complete with a gas stove.

Adding further versatility is a spacious outside office/studio — an open-plan space with a kitchenette, storage, and an en-suite toilet, basin, and shower — ideal for a home business, creative studio, or conversion into additional accommodation.

Inside, the home retains classic period character: soaring ceilings with ornate cornicing, original hardwood timber floors, a Victorian-style cast-iron fireplace with tiled surround, and a chandelier-lit open-plan living and dining room dressed with bold feature wallpaper. The eclectic, well-considered interior styling demonstrates just how stylishly this home can be lived in.

Outdoors, lush established gardens frame a sparkling swimming pool and spa pool with a brick-paved entertainment patio, a covered carport/braai area, a koi pond, and manicured lawns — all creating a private tropical retreat. Air-conditioning units are installed on both levels.

The location is outstanding: Kingsley Gardens park is approximately 111 m away, The Glenwood Bakery is roughly 145 m on foot, and Berea Centre shopping mall is within 530 m. Multiple parks, preschools, and schools are within easy walking distance, making this an ideal family address.
