A 10,000 Sq Ft Freehold Landed Home In The East Is On The Market For $10.8M: Here’s A Closer Look
Sunbird Avenue isn’t the most recognisable name when it comes to landed housing in the East. But for those familiar with the area between Simei and Upper Changi, it’s part of a quiet, established enclave where homes tend to prioritise space and practicality over show.
Located within Apollo Gardens, 15 Sunbird Avenue is one of the larger plots along the street. The house itself isn’t a new build, but a sizeable, purpose-built home with a layout and material palette that suggests it was designed for durability and day-to-day functionality, rather than short-term appeal.
The home is currently listed at S$10,888,888, with a land area of approximately 5,038 sq ft and a built-up of over 10,000 sq ft across multiple levels.
Layout and Circulation
The interior layout has been planned around accommodating a larger or multi-generational household. There are 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, with communal spaces and private areas kept separate. Most rooms are comfortably sized, and the overall circulation throughout the home feels well-considered — hallways are wide, and staircases aren’t squeezed to fit.
A lift connects all levels, which is a useful feature for families with older members or anyone with mobility needs. It also provides access to the master suite, which adds a degree of privacy without needing to isolate the space entirely.
Material Choices and Fixtures
The material palette reflects a preference for longevity. Features like Chengal wood and sapphire-coated doors are selected for wear resistance, while Low-E glass on external-facing windows helps reduce heat gain, especially relevant in a home of this size.
The kitchen is fitted with Italian cabinetry and appliances from De Dietrich, while bathroom fixtures are from Grohe and Hansgrohe. These choices may not stand out visually, but they are reliable and well-regarded for everyday use.
Outdoor Space and Rear View
The rear of the property opens up to a green buffer, with no directly facing neighbours. There is currently a semi-detached house under reconstruction behind the property, but it is slated to be a single-storey build, expected to be completed by the end of the year. This helps preserve the current sense of privacy and open sky at the back of the house, at least for the near to mid-term.
The front of the home is equally generous. There’s enough room to park multiple vehicles, and Sunbird Avenue itself is slightly wider than average, with a curved street layout that offers a bit more breathing room compared to more densely packed rows of housing.
According to the URA Master Plan, the land behind the property is zoned Residential with a 2.1 plot ratio, which means the area could see more intensive development in the future, depending on how the neighbourhood evolves.
Access and Amenities
While landed homes typically trade off public transport access for space, this location is relatively well-connected. Upper Changi MRT (Downtown Line), Simei MRT (East-West Line), and Expo MRT (which serves both lines) are all within walking distance. Major expressways, such as the PIE and ECP, are also nearby.
In terms of amenities, residents can access FairPrice at Changi Business Park, Giant at Eastpoint Mall, as well as a range of smaller shops and eateries in the area. For recreation, clubs such as Laguna National and Tanah Merah Country Club are a short drive away.
Final Notes
This isn’t a new build home, but one that prioritises function, scale, and long-term usability. For buyers looking for space in an established neighbourhood, with solid transport links and practical everyday conveniences, 15 Sunbird Avenue offers a combination that remains quite uncommon, especially in the East.
