The freehold property is being marketed at $60 million, or about $2,480 per square foot land price. Located at 436 Dunearn Road, the property is on a 24,189 square foot regular-shaped plot which comes with a three-storey mixed landed zoning. While not classified as a Good Class Bungalow (GCB) itself, it is located off Shelford Road in the prime area of District 11 – near GCB areas in the same district. The property could be 'redeveloped into either four detached houses or two pairs of semi-detached and a detached', said Nicholas Ng, senior director at JLL, which is marketing the property. 'Despite not being situated in a GCB area, this locale is well-sought after by discerning buyers seeking a peaceful, low-density living environment,' he added.
