Grand Family Home with Subdivision Potential – Unlock ±R4 Million in Value!

This is one of those rare Melrose opportunities that ticks both lifestyle and investment boxes. Set on an expansive stand in a prime position, this substantial family home offers amazing subdivision potential - allowing you to carve off approximately 2,000m² with its own private entrance from Melrose Street and potentially realise around R4 million from the sale of the vacant portion. In real terms, your effective purchase price could be meaningfully reduced, making this an exceptional proposition for families and astute investors alike.
From the moment you arrive, the home feels warm, welcoming, and generous in scale. Designed for relaxed family living and easy entertaining, it features expansive reception areas, a cosy “live-in” kitchen, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow to a patio overlooking the garden and pool. The kitchen is exceptionally well-appointed, with a large separate scullery that accommodates multiple appliances, offers additional workspace, and includes a walk-in pantry - ideal for busy family life and effortless entertaining. Each space has its own personality, creating a home that is both stylish and comfortable.
The main bedroom suite is conveniently located on the ground floor, offering privacy and ease of living. A guest cloakroom, private home office, and elegant lounge and dining areas complete a well-considered layout for day-to-day comfort. Upstairs, you’ll find 3 large, light-filled en-suite bedrooms with excellent proportions — perfect for a growing family or extended stays.
Practicality is a standout feature, with four garages, additional off-street parking for up to 10 vehicles, and two separate entrances — a rare combination that adds real value and flexibility.
Added bonus: double staff accommodation comprising two bedrooms with a shared bathroom, kitchen, and living area — ideal for live-in staff or flexible additional accommodation.
For modern efficiency and comfort, the home is equipped with 9 solar panels, and underfloor heating, (water heat pump system). The expansive garden is maintained with an automated irrigation system, ensuring the vast outdoor spaces remain lush with minimal effort.
