Heritage Good Class Bungalow Nassim Road Epitome Ultra Luxury Landed Living
dollars
Nassim Road is widely considered the crown jewel of Singapore’s Good Class Bungalow (GCB) sector, boasting a prestigious address that exudes wealth, legacy, and unique architecture. The exclusive enclave is home to some of the most coveted landed properties, with large freehold land plots ranging from 15,000 sq ft to over 40,000 sq ft, offering unparalleled privacy and opulence. Its prime location near Orchard Road, the Singapore Botanic Gardens, and top international schools adds to its allure, making it a highly desirable area for ultra-high-net-worth individuals, both local and foreign.
The Nassim GCB market is extremely rare and sought-after for its ability to preserve wealth. Due to stringent ownership requirements, transactions are infrequent, with properties typically owned by long-established families, institutional investors, and selective foreign buyers. Despite economic uncertainties, recent transactions have set record-breaking prices, further highlighting the resilience of this market. With ninety percent of homes being custom-designed masterpieces that seamlessly blend modern luxury with heritage conservation, the demand for these properties remains consistently high. In addition, the supply of land in this area is tightly controlled, ensuring that the Nassim GCB enclave maintains its exclusivity and desirability.
Realstar Premier Group, the exclusive marketing agency for a charming two-storey conservation GCB located on Nassim Road, is currently offering the property for sale at an asking price of $308 million (approximately $5,240 psf). The managing director of Realstar Premier Group, Julian Yip, emphasizes that the site’s unique selling points include its regular shape and wide 70m frontage along Nassim Road. He adds that land plots of this size are exceptionally rare in Singapore, especially in the coveted Nassim GCB area.
Spanning a massive total land area of approximately 58,784 sq ft, the Nassim GCB boasts three distinct plots, each offering a one-of-a-kind blend of heritage and modern luxury. The largest plot, Plot 1 (approximately 28,138 sq ft), is a conservation plot that seeks to preserve the estate’s rich architectural history while allowing for tasteful enhancements. Complementing this, Plot 2 (15,779 sq ft) and Plot 3 (14,867 sq ft) offer opportunities for bespoke development, whether as extensions of the main residence or as separate exclusive dwellings. This rare assemblage of land in Singapore’s most prestigious GCB enclave presents endless possibilities for customization, making it a truly unique offering in the ultra-luxury property market.
Interested buyers have the option to purchase all three plots or just the rear plot, which includes the conservation bungalow, for an asking price of $130.89 million or $4,296 psf.
Designed by renowned architect Edmund Ng of Edmund Ng Architects (ENA), the palatial hallway of the colonial-style Nassim GCB features a double-volume vaulted ceiling. Adding to the property’s charm is its terracotta-tiled roofs, louvred timber windows, and elegant verandahs, which harken back to a time when homes were designed to co-exist with and adapt to Singapore’s tropical climate.
The prime location of Lyndenwoods at 71 Science Park Drive makes it the perfect choice for those working in the surrounding areas as well as families and individuals seeking accessibility to important districts such as One-North, Buona Vista, and Jurong East. With its ideal location, residents of Lyndenwoods can enjoy shorter commute times, giving them more opportunities to focus on maintaining a healthy work-life balance and spending quality time with their loved ones.
Mr. Julian Yip says, “This Nassim GCB is a masterfully conserved Good Class Bungalow that seamlessly marries heritage preservation with contemporary refinement. Unlike the modern mansions that dot the landscape today, this estate is a triumph of traditional craftsmanship, where every architectural detail has been meticulously studied, preserved, and enhanced.”
Under the guidance of Mr. Ng, ENA has created a timeless design that flawlessly integrates heritage conservation with modern luxury. The thoughtful and transformative architectural approach fosters a respectful dialogue between past and present, preserving the estate’s historical integrity.
Mr. Ng explains, “This is not just a house – it is a living legacy, where the principles of conservation meet discreet technological innovation to deliver an unparalleled living experience.”
The legacy of this Nassim Heritage GCB has been reimagined by ENA as a tribute to the past while simultaneously embodying the future of architecture. With a strong dedication to restoration, sustainability, and modern elegance, ENA has transformed the Nassim GCB into a masterpiece designed for the future.
