Freehold four-bedroom duplex at Verdure going for $3.38 mil

A 1,733 sq ft, four-bedroom duplex at Verdure, a freehold condo on Holland Road, will be put up for auction by ERA on July 25. The ground-floor unit has a guide price of $3.38 million, which translates to $1,950 psf. An owner’s sale, this will be the second time that the property will be offered for sale via auction. It will be sold with vacant possession. The unit first appeared at ERA’s auction last month and was listed at the same guide price. The property was withdrawn from last month’s auction as there was no bidder.

Kenny Neo, senior advisory group division director at ERA and the marketing agent, says that the owners of the unit to be auctioned are upgraders looking to realise the value of their property to support the purchase of their next home. He says this has motivated them to find a buyer soon. “The guide price of $3.38 million, or $1,950 psf, reflects the value of this property at a competitive price,” says Neo. He adds that the unit has attracted several prospective buyers, including families, who appreciate its spacious layout, featuring a master bedroom, two rooms for children, and an extra room for entertainment or a home office.
