Bungalow on Fernhill Close going for more than $22 mil
A freehold bungalow located in District 10’s prime Nassim Road Good Class Bungalow (GCB) area has been put up for sale with a minimum asking price of more than $22 million, announced marketing agent Knight Frank. With a wide frontage of 40m, the two-storey house on Fernhill Close occupies a 7,386 sq ft plot.
Built in the 1990s, the property offers an attractive opportunity to redevelop it into a brand new luxurious three-storey bungalow, niche semi-detached or terrace houses. According to Knight Frank, it could also be developed for large multi-generational or extended families looking to build a new home.
Chia Mein Mein, head of capital markets (land and collective sale) at Knight Frank Singapore, noted that buying sentiment in the landed market will remain buoyant. Citing the example of three GCBs at 42, 42A, and 42B Nassim Road sold for around $4,500 psf in April this year, she concluded that the sale of this Fernhill Close bungalow could attract keen interest from buyers, investors and developers due to its prime location and sought-after address.
