About the Property

Timeless Grandeur and Glorious Sea Views in Glenwood There is something rather special about this grand white residence, built in 1934 and once home to the Baker family. Set within extensive grounds in a sought-after Glenwood cul-de-sac, it offers privacy, old-world charm and spectacular, uninterrupted sea views. The ocean is a constant companion here, with beautiful outlooks throughout the home.
Timeless Grandeur and Glorious Sea Views in Glenwood There is something rather special about this grand white residence, built in 1934 and once home to the Baker family. Set within extensive grounds in a sought-after Glenwood cul-de-sac, it offers privacy, old-world charm and spectacular, uninterrupted sea views. The ocean is a constant companion here, with beautiful outlooks throughout the home. Even the shower in the main en-suite bathroom enjoys a sea view—a delightful way to begin the day. A magnificent large swimming pool and a pretty, established garden create a lovely setting for leisurely afternoons and family gatherings. Abundant birdlife brings the grounds to life, adding to the tranquillity of this private estate. Although wonderfully tucked away, the property is conveniently positioned approximately ten minutes’ drive from the beach and Durban Ski Boat Club, with easy access to the freeways. Two separate cottages offer further possibilities. One is currently habitable, with a quaint charm and a beautifully spacious bathroom. A small wine cellar and a bunker add intriguing touches to the property’s history. This much-loved home now needs considerable care and restoration, but its character, setting and extraordinary views offer a wonderful foundation. Imagine it restored as a gracious family residence, an intimate boutique hotel, an upmarket Airbnb or a beauty and wellness retreat, subject to the necessary approvals. The expansive lower grounds also present development potential, with reported zoning for up to 32 units, subject to confirmation of the applicable rights and municipal approvals. A home with history, presence and a breathtaking outlook—ready for its next chapter. Please note: The listing includes before-and-after images. The “after” images featuring French-inspired styling are AI-enhanced to illustrate potential décor, furniture and colour schemes.
