A piece of History Locked into prime Essenwood

Essenwood remains one of Durban’s most sought-after residential nodes, prized for its leafy streets, proximity to Musgrave’s shops and restaurants, and easy access to the Berea’s private schools and medical facilities. Within this established and gated setting, 5 and 6 Royal Palms presents a genuinely rare offering: two separate sectional title units on Stephen Dlamini Road, sold together as a single property, delivering the space and flexibility of a mansion with the security and manageability of an estate.
Spanning 908 m² under roof on a generous 2,002 m² erf, the ground floor unit welcomes you through an inviting entrance hall into a spacious dining room and a fully equipped kitchen with scullery; three air-conditioned bedrooms complete this level, with the master offering a walk-in closet and full ensuite bathroom. French doors open onto a charming veranda that flows into a private garden and swimming pool, ideal for entertaining or simply unwinding after a day in the city. A separate cottage on the property adds further living space, perfectly suited to extended family, guests, or a dedicated home office.
The upper floor mirrors this layout, offering an equally generous three-bedroom, kitchen, and living configuration, elevated by an enclosed wraparound balcony that takes in sweeping views over the surrounding Berea. An internal elevator connects the levels with ease, while a backup generator and battery inverter provide uninterrupted power; two lock-up garages and additional parking for six further vehicles ensure ample and secure space for residents and visitors alike. The property is totally walled and further secured with electric fencing, and pets are welcome throughout.
With six bedrooms and six bathrooms across both units, four garages, and parking for sixteen vehicles in total, 5 and 6 Royal Palms is suited to multi-generational families, investors seeking dual rental income, or buyers wanting a substantial Essenwood address with built-in flexibility. Please note that the two units are being sold together as a single property.
