Sunny Top-Floor Retreat in Essenwood — with Private Roof Garden

Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in sought-after Essenwood, this spacious two-bedroom apartment occupies the top floor of a small, secure block and shows real ingenuity in its conversion, maximising space and sunlightfeaturing.

An extended entrance hall welcomes you in, featuring an artful arched window that hints at the character within. To the left is a neat and well designed kitchen, with everything in easy reach and plenty of cupboard space.

The hallway flows into a big, bright lounge, which opens onto a dining area under the staircase, and a fabulous little home office space with solar tinted windows, enabling a cool and pleasant workspace with lovely views.

Both bedrooms are generously sized, the main with a charming Victorian-style ensuite, while the second has a shared bathroom with bath and shower, and a separate toilet. The master bedroom also offers a maximum of well-designed storage spaces with cupboards framing the windows and a lovely window seat that doubles as a storage unit.

A wooden staircase that disguises more clever storage nooks
leads up to your own rooftop garden, offering 360-degree views across Durban — a rare and special feature for entertaining. The perfect spot for a morning coffee or a chilled glass of wine at sundown.

Practical extras include an allocated automated garage and backup water storage, all within a well maintained secure block within easy reach of all amenities.

This unique poperty offers a rare combination of space, light, character and convenience. The long term owner has created a little oasis or peace and tranquility in this incredibly well run block. A wonderful home.
