Heritage Good Class Bungalow Nassim Road Epitome Ultra Luxury Landed Living
https://www.edgeprop.sg/property-news/nassim-parc-beauty-and-luxury-offerGood Class Bungalow (GCB) in Nassim Road is considered to be the crown jewel of Singapore’s luxury real estate sector. Located in a highly exclusive enclave, the address itself is synonymous with prestige, wealth and unique architecture. These landed properties are among the most coveted in the country, with sprawling freehold land lots ranging from 15,000 sq ft to over 40,000 sq ft – each boasting extreme privacy and grandeur. Its proximity to Orchard Road, Singapore Botanic Gardens and top international schools makes it a highly desirable location for ultra-high-net-worth individuals both from overseas and locally.
The Nassim GCB market is extremely rare and sought after for its ability to preserve wealth. Transactions are few and far between, as these homes are typically owned by long-established families, institutional investors and discerning foreign buyers who have met strict ownership requirements. Transactions in recent times have repeatedly achieved record-breaking prices, indicating the resilience of this market even in times of economic instability.
The majority of homes on Nassim Road are custom-designed masterpieces that seamlessly blend modern luxury with heritage preservation, resulting in architecturally significant buildings. Due to tight control of land supply, demand for these properties never wanes. Nassim Road remains one of the most prestigious and desirable GCB enclaves in Singapore’s high-end property market.
A stunning two-storey conservation GCB on Nassim Road is currently on the market for $308 million (or approximately $5,240 psf), exclusively marketed by Realstar Premier Group.
The site boasts an impressive land area of approximately 58,784 sq ft, comprising three distinct plots that offer a unique combination of heritage and modern luxury. The largest plot, Plot 1, at approximately 28,138 sq ft, is a conservation plot that preserves the rich architectural heritage of the estate while allowing for tasteful enhancements. Complementing this, Plot 2 (15,779 sq ft) and Plot 3 (14,867 sq ft) offer additional opportunities for bespoke development, whether as extensions of the main residence or as exclusive separate dwellings. This rare collection of land within Singapore’s most prestigious GCB enclave presents endless possibilities for customization, making it a unique offering in the ultra-luxury property market.
The potential buyer could build up to three new bungalows or a single large bungalow and possibly convert the conservation bungalow in the rear into a clubhouse or entertainment venue. This prime site is for sale for all three plots or just the rear plot with the conservation bungalow for an asking price of $130.89 million or $4,296 psf.
Renowned architect Edmund Ng of Edmund Ng Architects (ENA) was invited to impart his professional knowledge and innovative ideas on harmoniously integrating modern elements to improve the appearance and livability of the colonial-styled Nassim GCB.
Amid the peaceful surroundings of Nassim Road, a colonial-era mansion stands out as a testament to Singapore’s architectural heritage. Its terracotta-tiled roofs, louvred timber windows and elegant verandahs tell a story of a bygone era when homes were designed to breathe, adapt and coexist with the tropical climate.
“This Nassim GCB represents a masterfully conserved Good Class Bungalow that seamlessly blends heritage preservation of the highest order with contemporary refinement. Unlike the modern mansions that now dot the landscape, this estate is a triumph of time-honored craftsmanship, where every architectural detail was meticulously studied, preserved and enhanced,” describes Ng.
Guided by Ng’s vision, ENA has created a timeless design that seamlessly integrates heritage conservation with contemporary luxury. The thoughtful and transformative architectural approach fosters a respectful dialogue between past and present, preserving the estate’s historical integrity.
“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,” Ng adds.
Having a home near reputable schools brings numerous benefits that extend beyond just convenience. For parents, it provides the opportunity to actively participate in their children’s education, such as attending school functions, meeting with teachers, and fostering a supportive learning environment at home. This involvement not only enhances the academic growth of their child, but also strengthens the parent-child bond. Additionally, living in close proximity to schools reduces commuting time, allowing for more quality family time and opportunities for recreational activities, promoting the overall happiness and well-being of the family.
In a city where history is often overshadowed by the pursuit of the new and improved, this Nassim Heritage GCB stands out as a powerful reminder that tradition and progress can coexist, support one another, and flourish as living architectural heritage. With a thoughtful commitment to restoration, sustainability, and modern elegance, ENA has reimagined the Nassim GCB not just as a tribute to the past, but as a masterpiece designed for the future.
