Background
This beautiful, mid-century inspired house in black and white was designed by the owners is now available. Extensive A&A took a year and was completed in 2019. This property served the WFH & HBL models well during COVID lockdowns, with ample space for work, play, entertainment, and rest, all under one roof.
A complete roof overhaul was done in modern clip-lock metal panels to ensure water-proofing for decades to come. The panels allow more than 30 solar-panels to be currently installed, with more roof area to allow for expansion of solar panels in the future. This house was designed to be future-proof, self-sufficient, eco-friendly, and expandable. With rising energy and petrol cost in Singapore being a top concern on every Singaporean’s mind, this house would allow you to harvest free solar energy for personal use-and to use electricity guilt-free! As the house is already connected to the power grid, any excess energy collected during the day is sold back to SP, this in turn lowers your monthly power bills drastically and rising energy cost will no longer be a concern. Current monthly average bills range around $180 to power the house and car. This house comes with your own EV charger that is connected to your Wifi, which you can control and monitor via mobile from anywhere in the world.
If built-up is a matter of concern, you will be glad to know that this property sits on a plot ratio of 1.4. This means that you are able to add up to 5 storeys or up to 4200sqf of built-up space. The potential is there for rebuilding but this property is in a move-in condition. Fitted with high-quality bathroom and kitchen products from Hansgrohe, hardware from Blum and Salice for the built-in cabinets, such quality products will stand the test of time and be trouble-free for years to come when maintained properly.
Lifestyle
Designed and built around 2 key requirements by the owners: work and play at home, this house features a home office large enough to accommodate 2 adults and 2 kids comfortably, with additional working areas at the kitchen island top or outdoors at the breezy and bright patio area. The modern glass-panelled office provides a luxurious feeling of openness instead of the usual feel of a closed-door office room or office cubicle. The office integrates seamlessly with the open-planned dry kitchen, allowing for an extended work cum indoor dining area.
For play areas, you are only limited to your imagination with ample space around the house to accommodate 2 separate putting greens, a golf driving net if you choose, a koi pond, table tennis table, and even a skateboard ramp! The greens are easily convertible back to lawn and there is ample space along the length of the house. The multi-purpose side patio is perfect for morning yoga, exercise, and breakfast. The patio easily accommodates a 5m long table for big gatherings and parties. Currently, the living room serves as a guest TV entertainment area with an option for a private TV room/library/play upstairs.
Location
This property is centrally located in the city fringe of District 12, within the small St. Michael’s landed enclave. Being in the city fringe, landed properties are in very limited supply, as there will not be land parcels being released for building landed properties. Corner units are rare, and a corner unit surrounded by friendly neighbours in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood is equally rare. Don’t miss this opportunity to own this gem with potential upside!
This property is ideal for those who need to commute to town or other parts of Singapore to work. Served by CTE and PIE, or arterially via Bendemeer/Lavender/Geylang Bahru, from home to Orchard is a 5-7mins drive, 10min drive to Marina Bay Area, 25mins to Changi Airport, and 30mins to Jurong.
