House 4 bedrooms
For Sale
Durban
South Africa

Double storey, 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, 3 garages, 2 lounges, 1 dining
room, pool, granny flat, staff quarters

Built in 1929, this grand double storey Edwardian home is situated in the
elite residential area of Glenwood. Located in a tranquil, green
neighbourhood, it is walking distance from Pigeon Valley Nature Reserve
while only minutes away from schools, the university, restaurants and
shopping centres. This newly-renovated and secure property has two road
entrances (Manning Rd and Sir Duncan Rd) and 3 automated lock-up garages.
The main entrance door leads up a staircase to a front lawn overlooking
Glenwood, with an established garden, including fruit-bearing avocado,
banana, papaya and mango trees.

You enter this spacious and immaculate family home via a grand staircase,
flanked by two massive cycads, and walk through a beautiful wooden door from
the Edwardian era with original stained glass insets. This well-maintained
house has original Oregon floors (upstairs and downstairs) and high, moulded
ceilings throughout. You walk into a striking entrance hall with the main
living room (with a bay window) to your left. The hall also leads to a
downstairs toilet, a library/second lounge (also with bay window) and a
large, open-plan designer kitchen of wood and stainless steel and dining
room (which easily seats 10). All sink fittings are of highest quality
(Franke). Off the kitchen, you will find a laundry/pantry, plumbed with
drainage and water attachments.

From the entrance hall, an original wooden staircase leads to three spacious
bedrooms and one study upstairs (former balcony). The master bedroom has
large built-in cupboards and an en-suite bathroom with shower, while the
other two bedrooms share a bathroom with a large bathtub. The master bedroom
and study have stunning views onto the Durban harbour and over the city.

Three large double sliding doors lead out from the kitchen and dining room
onto an expansive, covered entertainment area, which has space for dining,
lounging and braaiing. From here, stairs lead up to a private lawn area and
garden with an oval, 10-metre long saltwater-chlorinated swimming pool,
which is flanked by four beautifully-grown fan palms. There is also an
outside shower.

At the back of the property is a large granny flat, which has a separate
street entrance to the property (Sir Duncan Road) and can either be rented
out as a residence or to a small business. This unit is about 70 square
metres with two (bed)rooms, kitchen and entrance/reception area (which can
be used as a dining room/lounge). It also has a fully-fitted bathroom with
shower, toilet and basin. Next to the granny flat is a separate shower and
toilet and another building, which can either be used as a storeroom or
domestic quarters.

There is an active alarm system to protect this secure home, as well as an
electric fence at the back entrance (Sir Duncan Road), and guards on
bicycles patrolling the area at night.
