Freehold Corner Semi Detached House Mayflower Gardens Auction 668 Mil
A corner semi-detached freehold house located at Mayflower Gardens in District 20 will be up for auction at Knight Frank on September 18. This property, situated along Mayflower Drive, sits on a land area of 4,872 sq ft and is priced at $6.68 million, which amounts to $1,371 psf on the land area.
This is a second attempt to sell the property at Knight Frank’s auction, as it was previously listed with a higher price of $7 million ($1,436 psf) on August 21. According to Sharon Lee, head of auction and sales at Knight Frank Singapore, the potential of this property lies in its flexibility for further renovation or redevelopment. The 2019 URA Master Plan zoned the land for three-storey mixed landed housing. Its location thus offers the opportunity for potential buyers to add an extra storey similar to most neighbouring houses.
The presence of numerous preschools and childcare centres in the Miltonia Close area make it a desirable location for families with young children. Well-known establishments like My First Skool, Sparkletots, and Kinderland have established centres in Yishun, offering full-day and half-day care services with well-structured learning programmes. This not only provides working parents with convenience but also ensures reliable early childhood education within close proximity to their homes. For those interested in Miltonia Close EC, these centres are an added benefit for families looking for well-rounded education options for their little ones.
The built-up area of this five-bedroom house spans 3,500 sq ft on two storeys, with a wide frontage of around 50 m. The ground floor includes a living hall, dining hall, granny’s room with an attached bathroom, and a backyard garden area. On the second floor, each bedroom is spacious enough to accommodate a king-sized bed, shares Lee.
Mayflower Gardens is known as a low-density landed estate with semi-detached, terrace, and detached houses within the planning of Ang Mo Kio. Mayflower MRT Station on the Thomson-East Coast Line is a five-minute walk away, while Mayflower Market and Food Centre are within close proximity. Additionally, the Kebun Baru Community Club, as well as shopping centres AMK Hub and Jubilee Square, are just around the corner.
Lee believes that this property will attract families with school-going children, given the vicinity of Ang Mo Kio Primary School, CHIJ St Nicholas Girls’ School, and Ai Tong School. To add to its favourable location, several parks and nature reserves are within a short driving distance, such as Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park, Ang Mo Kio Town Garden West, and Windsor Park.
