Property Highlights

Crafted for Discerning Living

🏡

Landed Home Concept

Experience the character of a corner landed home with a private garden patio — ideal for families who love to entertain or cultivate their own herb and food garden.

📐

2,723 Sq Ft of Space

One of Singapore's most spacious strata-landed configurations. Generous rooms, multiple living areas, and ample storage — space that truly breathes.

🔑

4 Bedrooms + Home Office + Helper's Room

An expansive master suite with three further well-proportioned bedrooms, plus a dedicated home office and a separate helper's room — a layout built for growing families, remote work, and live-in help, all in comfort and privacy.

♾️

Freehold — Own Forever

No lease decay. No expiry. A freehold title in Singapore is the gold standard of ownership — finite in supply, immune to time, and timeless in value. Pass it down for generations.

🚇

Bright Hill MRT — 120 Steps Away

The condo's side gate opens just 120 steps from the MRT entrance — roughly 2 minutes on foot. Step out to Bright Hill MRT (Thomson-East Coast Line) and connect seamlessly to Marina Bay, Orchard, and the CBD.

🏫

Ai Tong Within 1km · 2 Top Schools Within 2km

Ai Tong School — one of Singapore's most sought-after primary schools — sits within 1 km, securing priority admission under the MOE Phase 2C distance rule. Catholic High School and CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls' School are both within 2 km, with Eunoia JC nearby.

🏊

Full Condo Facilities

Swimming pool, wading pool, gymnasium, tennis courts, squash courts, BBQ area, playground, clubhouse, and 24-hour security — all within the estate.

🌳

Mature, Green Estate

Lush tropical landscaping with walking distance to Lower Peirce Reservoir Park and Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park — a rare green sanctuary in the heart of the city.

📈

Upcoming Thomson View Residences

The major new launch rising on the former Thomson View site sets a fresh pricing benchmark for the entire neighbourhood — lifting the value of established freehold homes nearby. With brand-new units commanding premium prices, a rare freehold strata-landed townhouse like this becomes even harder to come by and even more compelling to own.

💎

A Townhouse Like This Is Hard to Come By

Freehold, foreigner-eligible, strata-landed, MRT at the doorstep and a top school within 1 km — this exact combination almost never reaches the open market. When it sells, another may not surface for years.

Estate Grounds

A Sprawling Mountain Enclave — Vast by Any Standard

Faber Garden sits atop its own hill — one of the highest residential elevations in the area — with an expansive freehold land mass that dwarfs most Singapore condominiums. The aerial view tells the story no floor plan can.

Why This Property Is Almost Impossible To Find

Landed Living · MRT at Your Door · Top School Next Door
Open to Foreigners — All in One

In Singapore's tightly regulated property market, finding a home that ticks every box for a foreign buyer is extraordinarily rare. Most landed homes are restricted to Singapore citizens. Most spacious homes near top MRT stations and elite primary schools are snapped up instantly and never reach the open market. Faber Garden's townhouse is the convergence of five near-impossible criteria — all at once. And with the upcoming Thomson View Residences set to reprice the entire neighbourhood upward, a freehold strata-landed townhouse of this calibre is harder to come by than ever.

🏡

Landed Feel

Private garden, multi-level living, no shared corridors — the feel of a house, the security of a condo.

🚇

2 Min to MRT

Bright Hill (TEL) is a 2-minute walk. Most landed enclaves are car-dependent — this one isn't.

🏫

Ai Tong < 1km

One of Singapore's most sought-after primary schools within 1 km. Catholic High & St. Nicholas Girls' both within 2 km — a once-in-a-decade school address.

♾️

Freehold

No lease clock ticking. Own it forever, pass it on. Freehold titles are a vanishing breed in Singapore.

🌏

Foreign-Eligible

No LDAU approval needed. Most landed homes in Singapore are completely off-limits to foreigners.

The ABSD Advantage

Who Is Exempt
from ABSD?

The current ABSD rate for foreigners is 60% — added on top of the purchase price. But under Singapore's active Free Trade Agreements, citizens of select countries are treated the same as Singapore Citizens, paying 0% ABSD on their first residential property.

🇺🇸

United States Citizens

US–Singapore FTA · Citizens only (not Green Card holders)

0% ABSD

🇮🇸🇱🇮🇳🇴🇨🇭

Iceland · Liechtenstein · Norway · Switzerland

EFTA–Singapore FTA · Nationals and Permanent Residents

0% ABSD

The citizens of these countries will be treated as local Singapore Citizens in regard to the ABSD ruling. To view the remission rules in detail, refer to the Stamp Duties (FTA) (Remission of ABSD) Rules.

For International Buyers

The Gateway to
Landed Living
in Singapore

Singapore's landed property market is largely closed to foreigners. Most terraces, semi-detached houses, and bungalows require Singapore citizenship. Faber Garden is different.

As a strata-landed townhouse within an approved condominium development, it falls under the Residential Property Act provisions that allow foreigners to purchase freely — with no LDAU (Land Dealings (Approval) Unit) approval required.

✅

No Special Approval Needed

Unlike standalone landed homes, strata-titled townhouses within approved condominiums can be freely purchased by foreigners under Singapore law.

🌐

Who Can Buy Landed in Singapore?

According to the Singapore Land Authority (SLA), a foreign person is any person who is not a Singapore citizen, Singapore company, Singapore limited liability partnership, or Singapore society.

If a foreign person wishes to purchase a landed residential property, he or she is required to seek approval under the Residential Property Act — assessed on a case-by-case basis, considering:

Should be a Singapore Permanent Resident for at least 5 years
Must have made exceptional economic contributions to Singapore (assessed via employment income assessable for tax in Singapore)

✅ Faber Garden is different. As a strata-landed townhouse within an approved condominium development, foreigners may purchase without SLA approval — no LDAU application required.

💎

Rare & Finite Supply

Only a handful of strata-landed homes of this size and freehold status exist in Singapore. Supply will only shrink as en-bloc redevelopments continue.

Location & Connectivity

★★★½

Overall PrimeKey Score

Faber Garden scores 70% on the PrimeKey framework, with maximum 5★ ratings across MRT connectivity, freehold tenure and elite school proximity. The profile points to a long-term homeowner and capital-appreciation asset rather than a high-yield rental play — exactly the buyer this rare freehold townhouse is built for.
