As a kid, Ron Chong grew up in Tanjong Pagar, living in the Duxton Plains Police Quarters as his father was a policeman. He reminisces the good ol’ days walking down the Yan Kit Swimming Complex in flip flops for a swim. Today, he is back in the area with a renewed interest. Now, a property agent for OrangeTee & Tie, Chong is back in Tanjong Pagar to help a beautiful home find a new owner.

The house that is for sale is a five room HDB flat located in Pinnacle @ Duxton, one of the most coveted HDB flats in Singapore, due to its location that is close to the central business district (CBD) area. This was the key point that attracted the current owners to purchase the property, as the couple worked nearby, allowing them to save on transport costs and get a little more snooze time in the morning.

Decked in a modern interior with luscious dark wood tones, this 1,130 sq ft unit is spacious and inviting. The house is located on a rather high level, hence a spectacular view can be enjoyed from the living area, common bedroom and master bedroom. A city-wide view can also be enjoyed at the apartment’s roof top, which overlooks a city skyline.

The master bedroom is a highlight in this home, as the adjoining common bedroom has been torn down to expand the size of the master bedroom, allowing it to accommodate a large wardrobe, a make up table, as well as a study table, with still much room to move around.

Another piece de resistance that ladies will appreciate is the bathroom, which has been fitted with a full bath tub to soak in the calming atmosphere the house radiates.

Speaking of atmosphere, it is said from the previous two owners that this house is a blessing, especially for new couples who wish to expand their family. Both previous owners found that shortly after moving into this unit, they were pregnant with a child. With the family growing and a desire to have three generations under one roof, the current owners have decided to put this unit up for sale.

The common room is cosy and features a bay window, perfect for a quiet reading area or place to unwind and enjoy the view after a long day.

This five-room corner unit flat is selling for a price of $1.288 million or $1,140 psf, with the sales price range of the units in Pinnacle at Duxton going from $880,000 to $1.3 million. This unit is trending towards the higher price range as it is the biggest size available in this development, but is selling at a lower price per square foot compared to the smaller units. Out of a total of 1,848 units at Pinnacle @ Duxton, only one-third of the units are five-room flats.

Apart from being a son of a retired policeman, Chong is a father of two daughters. Hence, he understands what families are looking for in a home.

“Most people would make at least three property purchase decisions in their lifetime,” explains Chong, who has been a property agent for about nine years.

“First, when we get married, which will be our first home. The second time may be after five to six years, because of the children’s school needs or parental support. The third time may be to finally right size and settle down when the children are married and start their own families. To me, these are important milestones and it is my raison d’être to be able to advise my clients in finding the best home and investment at each stage of their life,” says Chong, who successfully sold the first resale unit in Pinnacle @ Duxton and set the record price for 4-room HDB flats in Singapore.

Formerly from an interior and construction background, Chong has an eye for home décor and space utilisation. “With this and cross pollination of my skills and judgement, I am able to provide clients with that extra edge in sieving through good investment properties with higher potential and assess blindspots and costs that might impact their returns on investment,” he says.
