SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - A freehold semi-detached home located on Jalan Belangkas, off MacPherson Road, will be put up for auction on Aug 25. An owner’s sale, the property has a guide price of $5.18 million, says Karen Ker, assistant manager at Knight Frank, who is handling the auction.

According to Knight Frank’s Ker, the property is suitable for redevelopment, with the site zoned for two-storey mixed landed housing under the 2019 URA Master Plan. The house that currently sits on the site is a two-storey property that was completed in the 1980s. It has six bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a total floor area of 2,800 sq ft. The porch can fit up to three cars.

The property is located within a landed residential estate comprising a mix of two-storey detached, semi-detached and terraced houses. The estate is bounded by MacPherson Road to the north and Aljunied Road to the west, in District 13.
