Recently listed on 99.co, this luxurious 2,293sqft four-bedroom apartment in The Grange – a freehold condominium within walking distance to Orchard Road – could be yours. The seller is a UK expat living in Singapore with his family.

The home’s large living room comprises a balcony, powder room as well as a cosy reading nook that was customised for the current owner. The space is bright and airy, particularly thanks to its unique layout.

“The Grange is one of the few developments in the area with square-shaped apartments. [It is not easy to find] a column-free layout in a home of this size,” says Sunita Gill, the agent marketing this apartment.

The wet and dry kitchens are generously sized – even for a luxury property – while the dining room is fitted with a large customised mirror worth $15,000. Its ambient lighting create a warm and luxuriant atmosphere.

Also worth noting is that each bedroom, even the study, can fit a queen-size bed. Three of them come with en-suite bathrooms (two of which are fitted with bathtubs), while the master bedroom features a walk-in closet.

Designed by an award-winning interior design firm

The apartment is immaculate, thanks to a $1 million renovation in 2017. This feat was undertaken by Prestige Global Designs, the award-winning firm who has designed equally swanky residences, hotels and restaurants.

(P.S: The firm also designed the apartments in D’Leedon. The homeowner loved the firm’s work there so much he commissioned them to design this chic apartment.)

And here’s a thrilling fact: this stylish apartment was featured in a 2019 issue of Prestige, an esteemed local magazine dedicated to the affluent.

Living in District 10

The Grange is a 95-unit freehold condominium by MCL Land that debuted in 2008. Located within a quiet and upscale residential area in Orchard, The Grange is an oasis for those who value privacy and serenity.

And despite being a low-density residence, its 98,000 sq ft grounds features facilities like a jacuzzi, tennis court, 50m lap pool, sauna and steam bath.

“It’s rare to find a condominium with full facilities like these in District 10. Usually, only developments on a big piece of land would have them,” says Sunita.

As you can imagine, living in District 10 means amenities, dining, entertainment and shopping options are aplenty. Located in Tanglin, The Grange is a two-minute walk away from Camden Medical Centre, a six-minute walk to Tudor Court and Tanglin Mall, and a four-minute drive to Forum The Shopping Mall. Orchard Road and Somerset are within walking distance, too.   

The Grange is also a nine-minute drive to areas like Raffles Place and Telok Ayer.

The new Orchard Boulevard MRT

Living in a prime district traditionally meant that you need a car to get around, but this will not be the case for residents of The Grange. In 2021, residents will only be a three-minute walk away from Orchard Boulevard MRT. Part of the Thomson-East Coast Line, Orchard Boulevard is only a stop away from Orchard MRT, which will soon transform into a North South Line interchange. It is also five stops away from Raffles Place MRT.

A well-priced apartment

So, how much does this apartment cost? The asking price is $6.5 million. And Sunita says this is well-priced, compared to similar units on sale.

“It’s a masterpiece; the photos don’t do it justice. And priced at $6.5million (that’s $2,834.71psf), the apartment is affordable for what it offers,” says Sunita.

“There are other listings from The Grange that are going for similar prices, but are bare. Furthermore, apartments in nearby developments such as Gramercy Park are going for $2,900 to $3,000 psf,” she adds.

If this is up your alley, you’ll want to give Sunita a call.
