Senang at Jalan Senang

Senang is a brand-new six-storey sanctuary on Jalan Senang in District 14. With 7,940 square feet of built-up space sitting on a 3,693 square foot plot, the house inverts the usual section: the foyer sits at level one, a double-volume living room and sculptural dry kitchen open at basement one, and a green-lined terraced walk descends to a private wading pool at basement two. Bedrooms sit above, with five ensuite rooms plus a helper's room.

Why the numbers work

At $1,285 psf on built-up area, the home comes in below the typical replacement cost of a comparable new landed build once land, construction and risk are factored in. The trade is the vertical living: two of the best rooms are below ground, so the full section should be walked top to bottom before deciding. Parking for four is unusually generous on a 3,693 sqft plot and adds lasting practicality.

The neighbourhood

Jalan Senang sits in an established District 14 landed enclave, quietly removed from main roads but well connected. Siglap's cafés and the East Coast coast are a short drive one way; Eunos, Kembangan and the PIE are reachable the other way.
