BRB, daydreaming in progress.
Fun fact: most of the fancy homes you see in Crazy Rich Asians were actually not filmed in Singapore, but in Malaysia! But that doesn’t mean we don’t have our fair share of luxury homes in Singapore, because we do. We really do.
Proof: these 7 luxury homes, ranging from glitzy penthouse condos to huge landed homes with private pools, rooftop terraces, and more!
1. This luxury condo in Sentosa with a private pool and unblocked sea views
For the average Singaporean, Sentosa is a fun, touristy place with pristine beaches and cool entertainment. These homeowners, however, are fortunate to call Sentosa home, with a gorgeous 4-bedder duplex condo that is right on the shores of the Singapore Strait.
Inside, you’ll find that the interior is just as luxurious as the exterior. Noteworthy points: an LED-fitted balcony bar perfect for hosting a sunset cocktail reception, a single-piece wood coffee table that adds a touch of warmth and classic luxury, and a gorgeous freestanding bathtub.
2. This gorgeous landed home that knows how to make an entrance
First impressions matter, and the one you’d get upon seeing this landed home will surely leave you awestruck – especially when you’re greeted by its sleek, contemporary appearance (just look at those three-storey glass windows!) and huge koi pond by the entrance.
But that’s not the only highlight of the outdoor area. Take a peek through the house, and you’ll also find a gorgeous ‘sunken’ seating area situated within the gigantic rooftop patio, an outdoor cooking area for house parties, and a well-placed statue right in the middle of a second pond further in.
3. This NYC loft-inspired condo in Newton with a bird’s eye view of the city
With its rugged brick/stone walls, exposed beams, and a gorgeous view of the city, this is probably the closest you’ll get to an NYC loft in Singapore.
In contrast to the dark, moody communal area, the bedrooms and bathrooms all sport a brighter (but no less chic) interior. Despite the difference, however, the house still maintains a sense of continuity, thanks to the use of similar gritty textures throughout each space.
…with double-height windows, the homeowners of this penthouse condo in Novena are treated to panoramic views of the surrounding city, which can be enjoyed from the balcony or indoors, should they want to avoid exposure to the elements.
Coupled with its stone-clad contemporary interior and an opulent chandelier hanging from the second floor, it’ll undoubtedly look right at home among the glitzy penthouses in the Big Apple.
5. This 4-bedroom condo with a balcony larger than a BTO master bedroom
While space is a huge struggle for most Singaporeans, that’s certainly not a problem the homeowners of this condo have.
With four bedrooms and four bathrooms, tight spaces are not a concern here. But the true highlight, in our opinion, is that extra large L-shaped balcony, which houses a dining table, a coffee table, and still has plenty of space to spare. Ah, to be able to dine with a view anytime you want. Must be nice.
6. This MASSIVE 9,838 sq ft mansion that has its own elevator
From the main gate, this mansion’s grey monolithic exterior may give you the impression of a fort. But walk further in, and you’ll find that that couldn’t be further from the truth!
The most notable thing, of course, is its nature-inspired concept. Lush gardens and wood-clad outdoor decks welcome you as you make your way into the home, and above you, delicate vines creep along wood panelling that stretch across multiple levels, allowing natural light to stream in while still giving the owners privacy.
We’d also like to point out how most of their bedrooms have access to a communal balcony that boasts a magnificent view of the surrounding greenery. It's almost like a continuation of the greenery present in this home!
7. This pre-war terrace house in Newton with a rooftop pool, 2-storey feature wall and indoor zen garden
From pictures alone, it’s hard to imagine that this pre-war terrace house is smaller than the rest of the homes on this list. To make full use of the 220 sqm space, the homeowners instead built upwards while leveraging on the length of the land, thus creating a home that is longer than it is wide.
Doing so made it possible to accommodate larger bathrooms and a rooftop pool. But if we had to pick just one standout feature, it’d be the Japanese-inspired indoor garden with double-height feature wall and skylight, the latter of which keeps the interior bathed in sunlight throughout the day.
