# On the high ground of Bukit Timah – Kilburn Estate: A resort-style GCB built for generations - **Source:** EdgeProp Singapore - **Published:** 2026-07-16T07:00:00.000Z - **Author:** EdgeProp Singapore - **Original:** https://www.edgeprop.sg/property-news/high-ground-bukit-timah--kilburn-estate-resort-style-gcb-built-generations - **Topics:** Private Residential ## Featured rationale Its elevated regular plot, privacy and proximity to two primary schools may support buyer interest within Singapore's tightly limited supply of fewer than 3,000 GCB plots. ## AI summary An 18,267 sq ft, 999-year leasehold Good Class Bungalow estate on Yarwood Avenue is offered at $36.8 million. ## Original article An 18,267 sq ft Good Class Bungalow (GCB) estate with resort-inspired grounds, a private tea pavilion and a coveted 1km radius to MGS and Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School. In a market where fewer than 3,000 plots across Singapore are gazetted for GCBs, genuine rarity is measured in attributes money alone cannot buy: elevation, regularity of shape, seclusion and outlook. This residence on Yarwood Avenue, within the Kilburn Estate GCB Area, holds all four attributes. View few landed homes can claim Occupying one of the highest points along Yarwood Avenue, the 999-year leasehold estate commands panoramic views across the Hua Guan and Binjai neighbourhoods towards the city skyline. In Singapore's landed housing landscape, where most bungalows face neighbouring homes, such an elevated outlook is exceptionally rare. The flat, regular plot maximises usable land and offers greater flexibility for future redevelopment. Finding such a site on high ground is rarer still. Accessed via a private road set back from the main street, the residence is one of the most secluded homes in the neighbourhood, surrounded exclusively by GCBs and detached residences. Privacy is built into the address. Pass through the gate and the city recedes. Landscaping, carefully curated over the years by the green-fingered owner, lines the driveway, creating a tranquil sense of arrival. The grounds include a private swimming pool, sports court and, at the heart of the garden, a traditional Chinese pavilion designed for quiet tea appreciation. Designed for modern multigenerational living The approximately 7,000 sq ft residence underwent renovation in 2018. The owner thoughtfully refreshed the home while preserving its timeless character. The interiors reflect a warm, contemporary aesthetic characterised by natural timber finishes, neutral tones and an abundance of natural light. Expansive glazing strengthens the connection between the indoors and the surrounding gardens, while the restrained material palette lends the home a calm and understated elegance. Designed to accommodate multiple generations under one roof, the residence comprises six bedrooms, six bathrooms and a helper's room, arranged around spacious living and dining areas. Generous dry and wet kitchens comfortably support private chefs and catered events, making the home equally suited to quiet family dinners and full-scale entertaining. Coveted Bukit Timah address The property enjoys a prime Bukit Timah location. Within 1km are Methodist Girls' School (Primary) and Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School, placing the next owner within the priority zone for Primary 1 registration. King Albert Park MRT Station, soon to become an interchange with the Cross Island Line, is nearby, alongside the Rail Corridor and Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. The surrounding precinct is also evolving. Beauty World's integrated development, The Reserve Residences, will introduce new retail, while a nearby community hub will add a hawker centre, market and community facilities. Further along Dunearn Road, the former Bukit Timah Turf City will be transformed with conserved heritage grandstands and new retail, dining and recreational offerings. Within Kilburn Estate itself, however, strict planning controls ensure the GCB character of the enclave remains unchanged. Rare opportunity at $36.8 million Every serious GCB buyer carries a mental checklist: elevation, regular shape, level land, privacy, outlook and proximity to schools. Few properties satisfy all of them. The house has been carefully maintained and offers the flexibility to be enjoyed as it is or rebuilt in time. What endures is the land itself — elevated, level, regular in shape and exceptionally rare. Viewings are strictly by private appointment.
