SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - A 3,240 sq ft, five-bedroom unit at Northwood in District 27 will be on the block at Knight Frank’s next property auction on May 19. A bank sale, this unit is an amalgamation of two ground-floor units that will be sold as-is at a guide price of $3.24 million.
According to the property listing, the unit comprises two adjoining units that were originally a 1,604 sq ft three-bedroom unit and a 1,636 sq ft three bedroom unit. Although each unit is worth $1.62 million separately, they must be purchased together due to the amalgamation.
In total, the combined unit features a living and dining room, two kitchens, two en suite master bedrooms, three common bedrooms, a study room, two common bathrooms, two utility rooms and seperate personal enclosed spaces (PES).
