A pair of freehold linked bungalows in the quiet of Opera Estate. Both are now sold. The page stays up as a record of what new freehold linked-bungalow stock traded at in the East.
Felicità was built as a matched pair of linked bungalows — three levels, 5+1 ensuite bedrooms, a three-storey glass home lift and a heated spa resistance pool with jacuzzi. Both have now sold.
Demand below $10M is consistently the deepest part of the landed market. Upgraders, families and first-time landed buyers all compete in that band, while new-build supply in it is far scarcer, because most developers building to this standard price above it. The last Felicità home sold after it was repriced from $9.98M into that band. If you\'re shopping for new freehold landed under $10M, expect competition, and expect the well-priced homes to go first.
Land area 3,003 sqft; built-up approximately 5,900 sqft per the developer's brochure. Tenure freehold. Areas approximate and subject to final survey. Prices shown are the final guide prices before the home sold and are kept for reference only. They are not current offers and are not transacted prices.
Felicità has sold. Here's what's worth taking from it if you're buying landed now.
The last home was repriced from $9.98M to $8.98M, roughly 10% off a finished house, and then it sold. That pattern is worth remembering. A developer holding completed stock is carrying real cost every month, so the number usually has room to move, and the price that sells is often the one set after the market has had a proper look.
Almost every new landed home is sold off a floor plan and a render. Felicità was essentially finished, so its buyer could stand in the double-volume dining space, test the lift and look at the actual stone. Completed new landed homes are rare. If that matters to you, ask me which of my current homes you can view in person.
A linked bungalow is a detached-style house joined at one point, typically at the car porch or a boundary structure. It gives you bungalow proportions on a smaller plot at a lower quantum than a true detached — but it is not a detached house, and it shouldn't be valued or resold as one. Priced correctly for what it is, it's a strong buy. The mistake is paying detached money for it.
You're in the East, in a quiet established landed enclave, close to Siglap and the coast — not in the prime central belt. Your future buyer is someone who has already chosen this part of Singapore. If you're weighing this against District 10 or 11 landed, we're not comparing like for like, and I'll walk you through what each choice costs and returns.
Travertine marble fins and bronze cladding to the façade, a double-volume dining space flowing into open living, dry and wet kitchens with luxury Swiss-branded appliances, and a designer wardrobe to the master.
All images are artist's impressions. Felicità is sold; the images are kept for reference.
A glass lift serving all three levels — the feature most buyers ask about first, and the one that keeps the house workable for decades.
Heated spa resistance pool with jacuzzi, plus an outdoor garden terrace.
Every bedroom has its own bathroom, with a designer wardrobe to the master.
Both fully equipped with luxury Swiss-branded appliances; designer cabinetry to the dry kitchen.
A soaring dining volume opening into the living space, with all elevations designed for daylight and cross ventilation.
Integrated smart home system, solar power panels and an EV charger fitted from the start.
One of the East's established landed enclaves — quiet residential streets, close to Siglap's food and cafés, the East Coast and the expressway network, with the city a straight run in.
Verify school distances against MOE OneMap and confirm exact travel times for your own routine before relying on them.
Both Felicità homes are sold, so there's nothing here to view. What I can do is tell you how it was priced, and which of my current collections comes closest on size, tenure and price. Tell me what drew you to this one, whether it was the freehold tenure, the lift and pool, or the East, and I'll come back with options.
