The tweep incorrectly refers to it as a one-bedroom flat. But on closer inspection, it's clear that it is more a studio apartment, housing everything in a single room with a separate bathroom.
Regardless, both mesmerised locals and others more impassive had a field day reacting to the tweet after taking in the scenic display. The images capture the entire living space in separate parts due to its large scale.
Breathtaking views from dusk to dawn
Strikingly, it is decked out with superlative finishes in the open plan kitchen and private bathroom, leaving just enough air to circulate throughout the apartment. Anyone lucky enough to call this place home will enjoy scenic city views with spectacular dusk to dawn backdrops.
The apartment is fitted with floor to ceiling glass windows throughout. Sliding doors open out to a massive patio which lends itself to the hustle and bustle of the city centre, making it the perfect entertainment area for summer days and nights.
There was a mixture of incredulity and impassiveness to the tweet which, at the time of publication, attracted more than 6 200 likes, 1 800 retweets and 600 comments.
Netizens air mixed reactions
Briefly News wasted no time taking to the comments strip to suss the reactions of many of Mzansi's aspirant future homeowners.

"4mil to watch trains parked. A decaying metro. Witness a few muggings."
