COME HOME TO WATTEN HOUSE

NESTLED WITHIN THE QUIET RESIDENTIA­L ENCLAVE OF WATTEN ESTATE, JUST Off THE bustling Bukit Timah strip, sits on truly prime real estate

-

Set to be one of the most exciting real estate launches of the upcoming year, Watten House is a freehold condominiu­m nestled within the coveted residentia­l enclave, just off the Bukit Timah strip.

The developmen­t is a stone’s throw from some 30- odd Good Class Bungalows within walking distance to some of the city state’s top educationa­l institutio­ns including Nanyang Primary, Raffles Girls’ Primary, Hwa Chong Institutio­n, and National Junior College.

Known as Watten Estate Condominiu­m when in built around 1983, the new Watten developmen­t will be jointly undertaken and transforme­d by UOL

Watten House

Group and Singapore Land Group ( Singland) into a luxurious dwelling worthy of its prime real estate. The property presides over an expansive 220,240 square feet of land with a modest build of 180 units, promising its buyers the luxury of space.

ROOM FOR RESPITE

With an average build height of five storeys and a permissibl­e plot ratio of 1.4, the low- density Watten House is designed to offer its dwellers a respite from the frenetic pace of the city. Buyers may opt for the three- to five- bedroom units or palatial 6 to 7- bedroom penthouses if they would like more space to themselves or for multigener­ational living.

The 8 rare penthouses, dubbed Bungalows in the Sky, can go up to 4,080 square- feet in size. With large format apartments growing increasing­ly rare in the districts of 9, 10, and 11, Watten House’s generous floor plates are a massive boon.

Thoughtful architectu­re and landscapin­g lend to the property’s tranquilit­y. Capitalisi­ng on its elevated grounds, Watten House’s landscape design paints an undulating flow of verdant green spaces, seamlessly weaving the condo amenities into one cohesive tropical narrative. The result is a lush, elegant property whose design will stand the test of time.

DISTINCTIV­E DESIGN

Design more commonly associated with landed properties are planned for the developmen­t and prospects of the internal courtyards.

Living spaces will extend onto large balconies that recall the verandah, a distinct feature in stately Asian homes that introduce a feel of the outdoors. The layout offers flexibilit­y for residents to reconfigur­e the living/ dining spaces in the 5- bedroom apartments to suit their lifestyle needs. These units have an expansive frontage of 20 metres. Meanwhile, the penthouse units, whose average height is over four metres, have living and dining rooms that open up to a garden - giving it the feel of a much expansive space.

The thinking behind these collective touches is to recreate a proportion that is the hallmark of stately Asian abodes. This concept extends to the terraced gardens that connects to a lower courtyard – a tranquil space where the function room and gym are tucked away. Landscapin­g will introduce living screens to enhance privacy particular­ly in the ground floor units. Artwork, reminiscen­t of those in majestic gardens, will punctuate the outdoor space.

PRIME LOCALE

Watten House will be UOL Group’s third installati­on to its freehold luxury Masterpiec­e collection, with Nassim Park Residences and Meyer House being its first two.

In the immediate vicinity of Watten House are an array of malls and food centers including Coronation Shopping Plaza, King’s Arcade Shopping Centre, and Adam Road Food Centre. The Greenwood dining enclave is also a short stroll away with a variety of gourmet options to choose from.

For trips out of the neighborho­od, Tan Kah Kee MRT station is a mere 6 to 8- minute walk away and the Singapore Botanic Gardens interchang­e, a train station away. Come 2027, when Watten House starts welcoming its residents home, its doorstep is primed to grow greener with the Bukit Timah- Rochor Green Corridor. Slated to complete in phases, the new green corridor will connect residents to three of Singapore’s national gardens – Singapore Botanic Gardens, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Gardens by the Bay, and Jurong Lake Gardens – bringing respite even close to home.

Among the endless slew of highdensit­y developmen­t announceme­nts, Watten House stands out. The developmen­t is well- thought out – with its ample floor plans, expansive landscape design, and designer fittings – to build a comfortabl­e, luxurious home not just for the existing generation but for the generation­s to come.
