Under the Hammer: Duplex at Sant Ritz going for $1.55 mil
A duplex, two-bedroom unit at Sant Ritz in Potong Pasir will feature at Edmund Tie & Co’s (ET&Co) auction on May 22. Offered in a mortgagee sale, the unit has a guide price of $1.55 million ($1,253 psf), says Joy Tan, head of auction and sales at ET&Co. This is the second time the unit will appear at an auction; it was first featured at ET&Co’s auction last month.
The 1,238 sq ft unit is one of 39 SOHO-style row units. They are two- and three-bedroom units of 689 sq ft to 1,786 sq ft. The entire condo comprises a 19-storey residential block of 202 units, as well as a five-storey block of row units. The 99-year leasehold development was completed in 2016.
The subject unit might appeal to singles or young couples who want to live in a convenient location next to an MRT station (Potong Pasir), a shopping mall, and served by a major expressway. It also features a roof terrace that offers extra space for a small garden and entertainment area, says Tan.
The unit is being sold on an “as is where is” basis. The previous owner was in the midst of renovations to the living area, kitchen, and the roof deck. “Unfortunately, works were not completed and thus the new owner will have to undertake all further renovation works on the unit and obtain any required approvals and documentation,” she says.
