Are you looking to buy a penthouse unit? Whether you want a bigger home for you and your family or if you want to draw-dropping views of the city, a penthouse is regarded as a status symbol and is one of the most expensive types of homes you can buy in Singapore.
So without further ado, below are eight luxury penthouses that are available for sale on PropertyGuru now.
Traditionally, a penthouse is known as a unit located on the highest floor of a development. However, these days it’s used to describe a unit that’s located on the top few floors. Penthouses are considered the pinnacle of non-landed housing, and are also the priciest in the entire development.
Aside from that, penthouses are also larger than ordinary apartment units, and often have two storeys.
Penthouses can be found in condominiums, commercial buildings, and even HDB flats (penthouse maisonettes — executive maisonettes located on the top floors), however, there are also super penthouses which are defined as being 10,000 sq ft and above – that’s 10 times the size of an average 4-room HDB flat! Singapore has six of 11 super penthouses in the world.
Billionaire James Dyson’s former $73.8 million penthouse at Wallich Residence, is a prime example of a super penthouse. Dubbed as the ‘bungalow in the sky’, the three-storey, 21,108 sq ft penthouse boasts five bedrooms that each have their en-suite bathrooms and walk-in closets, a dining room, a living room, an entertainment room, a dry and wet kitchen, a private pool, cabana, jacuzzi room, among other luxury features.
Living at the top of the world not only makes everything below look like ants, but you’ll also get to enjoy excellent views of the surrounding area (unobstructed views of Marina Bay and Sentosa Island if you live in one of the penthouses in Wallich Residence, for example). This is in stark contrast to most HDB or even condo households, where your views would likely be obstructed by another development.
Needless to say, being the biggest units in the entire development means that penthouses are spacious, and the average size of penthouses are usually more than enough for families. As mentioned above, penthouses also tend to have higher ceilings, which help to create an elevated feel.
Aside from that, developers also reserve the best fittings and appliances for penthouse units (for example, marble flooring or fixtures from premium brands), and you can also enjoy having your own private facilities such as an outdoor rooftop garden, jacuzzi, and swimming pool, among others.
Penthouses also offer better peace and privacy; Located high above, you don’t have to worry about street noise. Most often than not, a penthouse unit is the only unit on the entire floor, so you don’t have to worry about noisy neighbours too.
You also have your own private lift, which is really convenient because you can go straight up to your unit without waiting for others.
