Rare freehold bungalow plot with redevelopment potential in Frankel estate for sale

Nestled within the prestigious Frankel estate in District 15, a single-storey bungalow that occupies a regular-shaped freehold plot spanning 6,009 sq ft presents a rare opportunity for redevelopment.

The property at 39 Siglap Plain has been launched for sale at a guide price of $14 million, via an Expression of Interest (EOI), by its marketing agent Andrea Boo, associate division director of ERA Realty.

A rare blank canvas for landed home buyers

Built in the 1960s, the existing bungalow comes with an expansive lawn and a long driveway in a regular plot configuration. Occupying a wide 18.3m frontage and 30.4m depth, it is sited within a zone for two-storey bungalows.

Sited some distance away are neighbouring modern detached houses along a tranquil street with little passing traffic, offering space and privacy to the individual home owners and their families.

For buyers seeking the freedom to design and build their bespoke sanctuary, the property offers an opportunity that is increasingly scarce in established landed enclaves.

“This is a coveted land plot in the Frankel estate, an area that is highly sought after by private landed homeowners. The plot’s redevelopment potential offers them the flexibility of conceptualising their unique home that aligns with their individual needs and lifestyle,” Boo highlights.

A neighbourhood steeped in history

Behind its appeal as an affluent suburb, Siglap Plain carries a rich history. Once part of a former plantation area, it evolved into one of the most well-established and prestigious private residential enclaves in the east.

The area is also associated with prominent residents, including past presidents such as Dr Wee Kim Wee. Several cabinet ministers also live in the vicinity, according to the owner.

Today, the neighbourhood offers a blend of exclusivity, tranquility and convenience. Residents have easy access to a variety of nearby eateries, transport and recreational amenities.

Just a short 12-minute walk away is the Kembangan MRT Station, with direct connectivity to the city and Changi Airport. It is also within proximity to the Siglap Park Connector with links to Telok Kurau, Marine Parade and East Coast Park.

The current owner, who is looking to right-size, shares that the neighbourhood where he spent his childhood years has remained warm over the years. Many neighbours have lived in the area for decades, contributing to its distinguished character.

Peaceful yet well connected, 39 Siglap Plain offers the best of both worlds — the privacy of a landed home in a reputable residential enclave, coupled with connectivity to amenities and transport links to all parts of the island.

“Unlike other popular districts — such as in Bukit Timah that is seeing increasing residential developments — this area remains quiet so the new owner will get to enjoy exclusivity coupled with accessibility,” adds Boo.

The valuable plot presents a rare blank canvas to bring a vision to life: an opportunity for the buyer to create a personal masterpiece — a distinctive home to reside among the collection of standout bungalows within this sought-after stretch of Frankel estate.

The EOI closes on Oct 31 at 3pm.
