Semi-detached house on Jalan Salang for $3 mil to $3.1 mil

In the north of Singapore, there is a freehold, semi-detached house just off Sembawang Road with an indicative price of $3million to $3.1 million, or $1,049 to $1,084 psf, based on land area.

“It represents real value for money,” says Sharon Lee, head of auction at Knight Frank Singapore. “It’s rare to find a freehold semi-detached house for $3 million.”

The 2½-storey house with a Balinese-style exterior was built 10 years ago and is located on Jalan Salang, within the landed housing estate of Sembawang Springs Estate. It is near the Sembawang River and Jalan Kemuning Park.

The house sits on a freehold land area of 2,860 sq ft and has a built-up of 4,327 sq ft. There is a sizeable living and dining area, a wet and dry kitchen and a guestroom on the first level. On the second level is the family area, the master suite, a study, two bedrooms and a shared bathroom. The third level has another family area, a fifth bedroom that is en suite and a roof terrace.

According to Lee, the new owner will be able to move in without having to undertake major additions and alterations. It is ideal for extended families, or those with two or more children who want their own bedrooms, she says.

The house on Jalan Salang will be put up for sale by the owner at Knight Frank’s auction on July 25.
