About this property

An impressive character home set on a generous 2 383 m² stand in the established Sea View suburb of Durban, offering double road frontage — including access from Sarnia Road — and remarkable versatility for residential, business or mixed-use occupation.

The main house features high ceilings throughout and comprises five bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, three separate lounges, a spacious dining room, a study, and a fully fitted kitchen with dark granite countertops, a central island, built-in cabinetry finished in cream and black, a stainless-steel extractor, gas/electric hob and oven, and a security-gated back door. Security burglar bars are fitted to all windows.

Outdoor and ancillary features include three garages — one of which is a drive-through that connects to a double carport and provides a loop exit — ample open parking, staff accommodation, and a storeroom. The property is set within lush, tree-lined grounds with a well-maintained lawn and established mango and tropical trees.

The location is highly convenient: Sea View Primary School and Sea View Pre-Primary School are within 350 m, Southway Mall and a BP service station are roughly 900 m away, and pharmacies and eateries are within 200 m. Nkosi Albert Luthuli Hospital and Durban CBD are a short drive away, offering quick access to most essential services.

With its generous erf, dual street access, character architecture and flexible layout, this property presents outstanding potential as a guest house, nursing or care facility, crèche/play centre, professional offices or an expansive family home.
