Lock-Up-and-Go Living with a Garden That Feels Like Your Own Patch of Gillitts

Some townhouses make you trade space for security. This one doesn’t. Tucked into a quiet corner of a gated Gillitts estate, this 199 m² home sits on one of the complex’s calmest roads, where the main traffic is the odd neighbour walking the dog and the view is green rather than brick. It has clearly been loved and looked after. There are no projects waiting for you here, just a home ready to move into. The lounge is the heart of the home, opening straight onto a patio and running into the dining area, so Sunday lunches, homework at the table and evening TV all happen in one connected space. The kitchen has plenty of built-in storage and a gas oven, which helps during load-shedding and is what serious cooks prefer anyway. A separate laundry keeps the washing out of sight. There are three bedrooms, all with built-in cupboards. The main bedroom has its own en-suite. Both bathrooms have a full bath and a separate shower, which makes the morning rush with children or guests much easier.

The private garden is large by townhouse standards. Pets are welcome, and there’s room for children to kick a ball around. Parking is plentiful: a double automated garage plus three additional bays, one of them covered. That suits families with teenage drivers, a work bakkie, a boat trailer, or friends who visit often. The M13 is only minutes away, putting Durban, Pinetown and the Upper Highway within easy reach, and everyday shops and amenities are close by. You get village-style quiet with city access. This home suits a young family upsizing from an apartment, downsizers who still want a garden, or anyone who wants peace of mind without giving up space.
