If you’ve ever wanted the glamour of living a Beverly Hills lifestyle without leaving Durban North, look no further than unit 7 of Monteith Estate.
That’s the word from Park Village Auction’s Keith Green, who says the spectacular home located on the “Millionaire Mile” looks like it’s been lifted off an LA movie set.
“When you step onto the balcony of this double-storey five-bedroom home, complete with a cinema and soundproof music studio, and your eyes pan over the lawn, you’d almost expect to see the Hollywood sign in the distance,” Green says. “But you’re greeted by something better: stunning sea views.”
Number 7 is one of only 10 free-standing, sectional title residences in the estate at 25 Monteith Place. This stretch of Durban North is often referred to as the “Millionaire Mile” due to the stately homes found there.
The entrance is a U-shape with water features and double garages flanking the front entrance, accented by pillars and stone cladding.
The ground floor opens to a foyer with wrought-iron balustrades along the stairs leading to the upper level, two lounges (one with a built-in bar), a dining room, a large kitchen with a walk-in pantry and scullery, an en suite guest bedroom, a study, and a guest cloakroom.
An elevator also serves the upper level, which features a gym, a cinema, a soundproof music studio, a small office, and five bedrooms (four en suite), each with a private balcony and access to a large, shared balcony overlooking the back garden and ocean.
“Monteith Place provides a blend of luxurious living with convenient access to amenities, making it an ideal location for families,” says Green.
Several highly rated schools are nearby, including Chelsea Preparatory, Northlands Girls’ High, Danville Park Girls’ High and Varsity College. Other amenities include shopping centres, medical centres, the Beachwood Country Club, the Japanese Gardens and Virginia Airport.
The property will be brought to market by simulcast auction on October 9 at 11am. Viewings will be held on October 6 and 7 between 11am and 2pm. Interested bidders can find out more under web reference 1935 at www.parkvillageauctions.co.za, or call Linda Manley on 031-512-5005.
