Adjacent semi-detached and bungalow houses at Lucky View on the market from $20 mil
Situated in a quiet cul-desac off Lucky Heights in District 16, 11 and 17 Lucky View present a compelling proposition for prospective buyers. The 8,750 sq ft freehold site was originally occupied by an existing three-storey semi-detached home that was completed sometime in the mid-2000s. The land-plot was purchased by the family of businessman Mr Wee in August 2018 for $8.3 million or $1,001 psf.
The family decided to subdivide the plot into two, with one plot of 3,569 sq ft designated for a new semi-detached home that would replace the previous structure. The other plot, measuring 5,181 sq ft, was allotted towards a new detached home.
Mr Wee envisioned a home that reflected his family’s heritage and life experiences, from their Peranakan roots to their travels around the world. Interior design and construction company Winco Construct & Decor was engaged to help execute this vision, working on the interiors of both homes. Nic & Wes Builders was appointed to oversee the design and build of the exterior of the houses and manage overall project coordination.
URA’s vision for Orchard Boulevard Condo on Orchard Road is to create an urban living concept with a mix of residential, commercial and lifestyle amenities. This vibrant live-work-play environment is set to bring a unique city-living experience to the area for people of all ages. The project also aims to bring green spaces, parking and other facilities to the enclave, providing much needed amenities and conveniences. With this project, URA hopes to transform Orchard Road into an attractive area for people who seek a vibrant urban lifestyle.
The semi-detached home at 11 Lucky View has a contemporary look, with some distinct accents like series of perforated panels with an intricate leaf design mounting the front of the home from the second floor onwards. Artworks from the family’s private art collection dot various walls and the basement level of the house has a pool inspired by caves in Greece.
The bungalow at 17 Lucky View has more of a colonial style, inspired by iconic Singapore buildings such as the Raffles Hotel and the original Raffles Institution (RI) building, a nod to Wee’s time as an RI schoolboy. The house has whitewashed walls, Palladian windows, and outdoor terraces.
Both houses were designed to accommodate families and incorporate areas to entertain, with the bedrooms amply proportioned across both properties.
The two houses are now put up for sale through a tender exercise that will be launched on Sept 2, priced from $20 million, although the Wee family is open to considering the sale of each home separately. Both properties offer a move-in-ready solution, saving buyers time and on rebuilding costs.
PropNex’s Haden Hee believes the two houses offer a compelling proposition, with their price of $2,286 psf on the combined land area of 8,750 sq ft being lower than a number of houses that have transacted in the area.
He expects 11 and 17 Lucky View to garner significant interest, given their freehold landed plot in a desirable location, as well as the homes’ reflection of the family’s life experiences and provision of move-in-ready solutions for buyers.
The tender for 11 and 17 Lucky View will close on Oct 8.
