Three-storey detached house in Bukit Timah for sale at $12.5 mil

SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - A 999-year leasehold detached house along Hua Guan Avenue, off Dunearn Road in Bukit Timah, has been put up for sale for $12.5 million. The three-storey property sits on a land area of about 4,720 sq ft. This works out to a land rate of $2,648 psf. The house will be sold with vacant possession. Tricia Tan, director of auction and sales at Knight Frank Singapore, says the owner is selling the house to upgrade to a bigger residence. The house was constructed in 1998 and boasts a built-up area of approximately 5,000 sq ft. It features seven en suite bedrooms, a helper’s room, an indoor swimming pool and a garden lawn. Several full-height glazed windows allow ample natural light to flood the interior. At the front, a covered porch accommodates two to three cars. Tan says the owner renovated the house after purchasing it, most of it on the attic floor. According to a caveat lodged in June 2021, the owner acquired the property for $8.08 million, translating to $1,712 psf based on land area. Prior to this, the previous owner purchased the house for $3.36 million in November 2006, as recorded in the only other lodged caveat.
