Located within the prestigious Bukit Tunggal Good Class Bungalow (GCB) area in prime District 11 is a grand eight-bedroom bungalow on Gentle Road. It is situated on a 7,660 sq ft freehold plot.
Sprawling across two levels with an attic and basement, this elegant bungalow boasts a built-up area of 9,500 sq ft. It is now on the market for $20 million or $2,611 psf based on land area. The listing is being jointly marketed by Alvin Tan of JNA Real Estate and Loyalle Chin of ShophouseHuat, both of whom are under the umbrella of PropNex Realty.
At the entrance of the property, a wide 20m frontage along Gentle Road leads to an expansive car porch that can comfortably accommodate six cars. The bungalow has been unoccupied for the past two months.
The first floor comprises a spacious living room, dining room, kitchens, and two bedrooms. Large windows on the west side of the house gives an ample amount of natural light as well as picturesque views throughout the day. Situated on the opposite side of the house, is a 15m dipping pool. On the basement level, the bungalow has an entertainment area complete with a gym, music room, games room, and a home theatre.

The first floor features a living room, a dining room, and wet and dry kitchens that open onto a service yard at the rear. Two bedrooms are located on the first floor, while three en-suite bedrooms, including the master, are situated on the second floor. The master bedroom is exceptionally large, spanning the width of the house and featuring a walk-in wardrobe, ample space for a king-size bed, and a study area.
The three en-suite bedrooms on the topmost floor open onto an airy veranda that allows residents an unobstructed view of the surrounding landed estate and landmarks such as Revenue House, Novena Square, and Royal Square at Novena.

The proximity to Novena and several top primary schools, such as Anglo-Chinese School (Primary) and St Joseph’s Institution Junior, both of which are within a 1km range, adds to the appeal of this landed estate, says Alvin Tan, an associate director at PropNex.
Other primary schools within a 2km vicinity include CHIJ Primary (Toa Payoh), Farrer Park Primary School, Hong Wen School, Singapore Chinese Girls’ Primary School, and St Margaret’s School.
“The bungalow’s asking price of $20 million is an incredible opportunity to own an exquisite home in the highly sought after GCB area that is also close to several renowned schools. Additionally, its proximity to Novena and the future HealthCity adds to the property’s long-term value proposition,” says Loyalle Chin, associate group district director at PropNex Realty.
The bungalow is situated within a mixed landed housing estate off Newton Road. Based on caveats lodged, the most recent transaction in the neighbourhood was of a freehold semi-detached house at 1D Buckley Road, which sold for $8.8 million in August 2025. The semi-detached house sits on a land area of 2,997 sq ft and was built in 1997.

Prior to that, in February 2023, a semi-detached house on a freehold site of 8,174 sq ft at 43 Gentle Road fetched $14.28 million ($1,747 psf). The site was acquired by developer Pinnacle Assets for $15.75 million ($1,927 psf) in an estate sale brokered by Knight Frank Singapore.
Pinnacle Asset subdivided the 8,174 sq ft and is redeveloping the site at 43 Gilstead Road into a new pair of semi-detached houses for sale.
The neighbouring semi-detached house at 43A Gentle Road sits on a freehold site of 4,060 sq ft and fetched $14.4 million ($3,547 psf), according to a caveat lodged in February. It marks the highest psf price achieved in the landed housing estate off Newton Road.
The development that has cast a spotlight on the area is 32 Gilstead, a 14-unit luxury condo by Kheng Leong Co. Launched in April 2024, it has since sold 11 units (79%). The latest transaction was in June, when a 4,219 sq ft, four-bedroom unit on the third floor was sold for $15 million ($3,555 psf).
The luxury condo is a redevelopment of a pair of bungalows that stood on a combined freehold plot of 43,457 sq ft. Kheng Leong purchased the site for $70 million in February 2022.
“Looking ahead, it is possible that financing costs may ease in the second half of this year, coupled with a meagre supply of available bungalows on the market going for less than $20 million, we anticipate that ultra-high net-worth families and newly minted Singaporeans will begin to be more active in the GCB and bungalow market,” says Chin.
The most recent bungalow transaction in the Bukit Tunggal GCB area was of a 20,355 sq ft freehold plot that sold for $26.5 million ($1,302 psf) in December 2017. Prior resales include a 10,516 sq ft bungalow site at 15 Bukit Tunggal that fetched $17.5 million ($1,665 psf) in May 2013.
In summary, there are many compelling reasons to invest in a condominium in Singapore. Not only does the city-state have a high demand for these properties, but there is also potential for significant capital appreciation and attractive rental yields. However, before making any investment decisions, it is crucial to carefully consider various factors such as location, financing options, government regulations, and current market conditions. By conducting thorough research and seeking expert advice, investors can make well-informed choices and maximize their returns in Singapore’s ever-evolving real estate market. Whether you are a local investor looking to diversify your portfolio or a foreign buyer seeking a stable and profitable investment, condos in Singapore, with the recent New Condo Launches in the market, are a promising opportunity that should not be overlooked.
“Overall, buying sentiment in the landed market is more positive compared to the start of this year, especially as the direction of interest rates has significantly cleared up,” says Tan. However, he also notes that many buyers remain cautious due to the ongoing uncertainties in the global economic environment.
“Demand for landed homes in Singapore remains remarkably resilient, particularly among price-sensitive buyers who see strong value in smaller bungalows within GCB areas or other sought-after neighbourhoods,” adds Tan.
Given the $20 million price tag, Tan is confident the property will attract the “immediate interest” of serious buyers.
