A 2.5-storey freehold bungalow on a 9,800 sq ft plot in Margate Road, rebuilt in 2008, offers 8,488 sq ft of private living space, featuring 7 bedrooms, a spacious car porch, and a design ideal for family living.
A freehold 2.5-storey bungalow that occupies a 9,800 sq ft plot within the prestigious residential enclave in Margate Road (off Meyer Road) in prime district 15 is on the market at $23 million ($2,347 psf).
Beautifully designed, the bungalow took two years to be rebuilt entirely in 2008. Sitting on an elevated plot, the immaculate property offers 8,500 sq ft of living space with seven bedrooms and a basement.

“Thanks to its elevated plot, the property grounds are not visible from street level. Combined with the property’s layout, the residents enjoy a high degree of privacy, shielded from any passer-by or traffic glare,” highlights Meilinda Soetedjo, its exclusive marketing agent.
The west-facing house features a south-facing entrance that enhances cross ventilation and a spacious car porch that can easily fit seven to eight cars, which is ideal for large families and visiting guests.
Although the property is filled with cherished memories for the multi-generation family who has lived there over the past 16 years, the owners feel that it is time to right-size with their grandchildren grown up.

The bungalow’s contemporary design features a sprawling living hall with a high ceiling and full-height windows. The hall has panoramic views of a manicured central courtyard with a cascading water feature that connects to the dining hall.
An abundance of natural light and cross ventilation permeates the entire property, enlivening the space and creating an inviting sanctuary. The other wing on the ground floor houses a large dining area, a granny's room, a study room, a helper's room, and a wet-and-dry kitchen.
Another spacious family area on the second floor, designed for quality family bonding, overlooks the main living hall. It leads to a broad corridor connecting the four ensuite bedrooms.
The master bedroom and study are located on the brightly lit attic level, which can be converted into another bedroom. A roof skylight in the master bedroom bathroom adds a luxury touch for a pampering soak under the skies. An open terrace adds to the natural ventilation of the outdoor gym.
A large basement with built-in cabinets and a window may be converted by the buyer to a recreational or additional entertainment space. The front garden offers the option of building a swimming pool.

Dubbed “Nassim of the East”, properties surrounding the Meyer Road residential enclave in the city fringe area are highly sought after, given its proximity to scenic recreational hot spot East Coast Park and charming heritage eateries in the Katong and Joo Chiat areas.
Adding to its laidback vibe is the low-density residential area, which comprises mainly seafront condos and low-rise developments. Recent transactions of landed properties closer to Siglap and Bedok, such as in Opera Estate, went for $2,217 psf, while another in Woo Mon Chew Road was transacted at $2,343 psf.
A wide selection of well-established schools, ranging from pre-schools such as Montessori for Children and EtonHouse to reputable Dunman High School and Chung Cheng High School, makes it convenient for families with growing children to live in the area.
Public transport is easily accessible via a five-minute walk away to Katong Park MRT station on the new Thomson East Coast Line. A wide array of amenities is available at the popular Marine Parade neighbourhood and Parkway Parade shopping mall is just a five-minute drive or one MRT station away.
