7 Cecil, new homes in Melrose-estate

7 Cecil is a tightly-held release of six contemporary freehold homes on Cecil Avenue, Melrose Estate: one of Johannesburg’s oldest leafy enclaves and minutes from Melrose Arch, Rosebank, and the Sandton CBD. Each home is ±336 m² under roof on a private erf of 422–492 m², with four ensuite bedrooms, five bathrooms, a double garage and dedicated visitor parking.

The architecture is modern with clean lines, natural timber accents and feature stone detailing. Ground floor is open-plan: lounge, dining and a designer kitchen flowing onto a covered patio with built-in braai, private landscaped garden and feature pool. A separate scullery and guest cloakroom serve the entertainment wing. Upstairs, the main suite includes a walk-in dressing room, pyjama lounge and a dedicated store room, with three further ensuite bedrooms.

Construction begins August 2026; handover is estimated August/September 2027. Prices start from R 9.5 million with the final figure set by erf size and any spec variations briefed before build. Spec walks and architect meetings are arranged on request: the kind of brief-led, low-volume release that suits buyers who want to influence layout and finishes before the foundations go in.
